If you’re considering a powder packing machine to automate the filling and sealing of your preformed pouches, chances are you are wondering how this whole thing works.
Today we’re taking an in-depth look at the processes involved in packaging powder products into premade bags with a pouch fill and seal machine.
Introduction to powder filling and sealing machines
Pouch filling and sealing machines accomplish two main things: Dispense product into preformed pouches and then seal the bags shut.There are two main designs for this machine type: Rotary and inline. The differences between the two are in the machine layout.
An inline pouch machine packages products in a straight line, with the beginning and ending points of the process at opposite ends, requiring more floor space.
A rotary pouch packing machine is laid out in a circular fashion, meaning the start point of the packaging process is right next to the endpoint. This creates a better ergonomic setup for operators and requires minimal floor space. Because of their popularity for powder packaging, we’re taking a closer look at only the rotary design in this article.
Rotary pouch fill and seal machines can feature one, two, or four bag infeed ‘lanes’, with a simplex (single lane) model being the most in-demand for powder packaging. When packaging speed requirements are in excess of single-lane output, a company can upgrade to a machine with additional infeed lanes to meet throughput needs.
On a ROTARY POUCH PACKING MACHINE, separate static ‘stations’ are laid out in a circular fashion, each one performing a distinct step in the pouch packaging process. There are usually between 6 – 10 stations on a rotary pouch fill and seal machine, with 8 stations being the most popular configuration. The interior portion of the machine moves in a counter-clockwise fashion, stopping briefly at each station.
Powder filling machine is suitable for quantitative filling of various bottles, cans and bags.
Powder filling machine is made of stainless steel and can be equipped with feeding machine. It is combined with spiral cutting and electronic weighing technology.It is controlled by microcomputer and has automatic quantitative and automatic filling. Automatic correction of errors, counting, clearing and other functions.
Suitable for pesticides, veterinary drugs, additives, flour, milk powder, washing powder, solid beverages, sugar, monosodium glutamate, compound seasonings (such as spicy fresh), natural seasonings , seeds, enzyme preparations, feeds, etc. Micro-powder, ultra-fine powder), quantitative packaging of granular materials, quantitative canning.
