Packaging Machines by Product and Application

Coffee, milk and creamer powder, protein, collagen, probiotics, seasoning, spices, baking mixes and detergent powder are covered by our powder packaging configurations. Fine powders are usually dosed by auger, which measures a volume by screw turns. Flow, dust, bulk density and bridging decide how the hopper, agitation and dust extraction are arranged.

Review flow behavior, dust, bulk density and the target dose. Roll-film bags, single-serve packs and premade pouches may address different output and presentation requirements. The dosing and dust-control scope must be evaluated for the actual product.

Rice, grains, pulses, oats and cereal, coffee beans, nuts and dry pet food are mostly packed by weight on a multihead weigher, or by volume with measuring cups when the product flows freely and its density is consistent. Particle size, breakage and dust affect the choice.

Particle distribution and product fragility affect feeding and weighing discussions. Loose granules in a bag and individually wrapped solid products require different process routes.

Chips, puffed snacks, candy, gummies, nuts, dates and dried fruit are usually weighed on a multihead weigher and packed on a VFFS machine. Fragile products need low drop heights and gentle transfer. Sticky products such as gummies and dates are handled with weigher surfaces designed to reduce sticking. Chips and nuts are often packed with nitrogen flushing.

Bars, lollipops, chocolate and individually wrapped sweets go to flow wrapping instead, and multipacks of bars can continue to a cartoner.

Frozen dumplings, meatballs, fries, seafood and vegetables are weighed and packed in larger VFFS bags, sometimes with vacuum. Ask about frost, product sticking to itself and the temperature of the packing room. Fresh fruit, tomatoes and trayed dumplings are flow wrapped, with the tray and product dimensions setting the format.

Biscuits, wafers, bread, mooncakes, instant noodles and energy bars are flow wrapped one by one or in groups. The infeed decides much of the result: how products arrive, their spacing, and whether they are fed by hand or from an upstream line. Fragile bakery products need a gentle infeed. Bars that are sold in boxes continue to a cartoner.

Ketchup, mustard, wasabi, sauces, honey, energy gels, juice, milk and laundry liquid are dosed by pump or piston. Viscosity, fill temperature, foaming and particles decide the dosing unit and the nozzle, and anti-drip nozzles keep product out of the seal area. Sauces with seeds or pieces need a pump that passes them without blocking.

State viscosity, temperature, foaming and particulates. Containers, pouches and portion packs present different filling and sealing constraints. Include cleaning and product-contact requirements in the brief.

Tea is packed in inner and outer bags, loaded into cartons and often finished with a clear overwrap. Coffee capsules and pods are counted and cartoned. For these products the carton design, the number of items per carton and the orientation matter as much as the machine choice.

Shisha, Arab paste and Turkey paste are packed as pouches, on a bagging or bottle line, or on a semi-automatic weigher. Pouch weight and how much of the boxing is automatic decide the route.

Our pharmaceutical and health-product portfolio covers powders in sachets and stick packs, tablets and blisters in cartons, supplement boxes in overwrap, and vial and ampoule labeling. Dose size, dust containment, cleaning and batch coding guide the configuration review.

Include GMP and other regulated-production requirements in your brief. Our engineering review addresses the equipment materials, cleaning access, documentation and qualification work required for your process, with the agreed deliverables recorded in the proposal.

Lotion, cream, shampoo and hand sanitizer are packed as sachets or stick packs using pumps suited to foaming or thick products. Flammable products such as alcohol-based sanitizers raise electrical safety questions that should be named in the brief. Lipsticks, sheet masks and cosmetic boxes are cartoned, perfume and cosmetic boxes are overwrapped, and flat bottles are labeled front and back.

Our non-food packaging applications include detergents, sanitary napkins, sponges, toothbrushes, disposable cutlery, slippers, bar soap, hardware and fasteners, playing cards and media cases. For these products the size range, shape and whether items are fed by hand or automatically usually decide between flow wrapping, cartoning and overwrapping.

Labeling configurations cover beverage bottles with shrink sleeves, wine and beer bottles, square edible oil bottles, honey and sauce jars, pet food cans, vials and small dropper bottles, and the top surface of food boxes. Send container samples and label artwork: the container shape and surface decide how it is held and guided through the labeler.
