What Should I Consider when Buying a Powder Filling Machine?

High Automation with High OEE

One of the biggest factors in choosing a powder filling machine is how much you need it to automate your production . Some rotary type fillers are designed with advanced automation in mind, while others have features that allow for more manual operation. If your current output is relatively low and staffing is not a pressing issue, investing in a solution with a high degree of automation may not pay off reasonably well, but if you are looking for higher output, automation will greatly impact your performance.
While not unique to powder filling, automated filling components are often better suited for high-volume operations. The reason is that they often have more advanced features that allow you to do more with less labor.

Filling Accuracy

The higher the value of your powdered product, the higher the filling accuracy and the higher your priority list will be. Powder packaging filling accuracy can be tricky because even environmental factors can affect the density of product fed into the filling assembly. 
For example, daily variations in humidity levels can change the density of a powder product at room temperature. Temperature fluctuations throughout the shift can cause similar problems - so to avoid quality problems with low-precision machine components, it's important to choose products that can adapt to fluctuations in the production environment. 
These machines can be fully integrated with bagging machines, include auxiliary sensors for monitoring fill weight, and can automatically adjust settings to minimize density differences between powders. Accurate powder filling machines help ensure that end users do not experience quality issues due to large differences in total powder weight percentages and help you minimize product giveaways.

Powder Filler Accessibility

The third key factor to consider when evaluating a powder packaging solution is the level of accessibility. What is packer accessibility? This is the level at which operators and maintenance personnel can access various components on their machine visually and/or manually as needed. This can be anything from electrical components to the products in the machine. High machine accessibility ultimately translates into shorter washdown downtime, which saves you money. Importantly, maintenance tasks are not only simple but safe, so they can be performed efficiently shift by shift, year after year.

Why you can't directly measure the torque output of a capping machine?

As you might expect, we discuss torque with our customers every day. People certainly have a lot of questions about how to measure torque. They want to make sure that the proper torque is applied to the cap. So naturally, many people who are new to caps want to find a way to directly measure the torque output of their capping machine. The ideas they usually try are logical and well thought out, but unfortunately, they can lead to inaccurate results. Our purpose here is to explain why.   Many people understandably assume that if they put a bottle into a cap torque tester and then tighten the cap with a capper, the tester will tell them what torque the capper just applied to the cap. Unfortunately, this is not the case. If the cap is screwed onto the container very slowly, the cap torque tester will only measure the torque applied to the cap.  A capping machine  can tighten caps very quickly. The sampling rate (how often the cap torque tester reads the torque output) of the...

Which filling equipment is suitable for powder products

W hich filling equipment is suitable for powder products? Businesses with specialized equipment needs often encounter challenges with powder product filling equipment. Filling solutions must meet accuracy, efficiency and maintenance goals to achieve a return on investment. Any business looking for high-quality filling equipment needs the right filling type and machine design to meet customer expectations and financial goals. T ype o f Filling Equipment Take some time to evaluate product consistency and performance between filling equipment types. Some of the most common types of filling equipment used in powder product packaging include: 1. Net weight filler. Any filling machine that weighs commodities before filling is a net weight filling machine. These semi-automatic or automatic filling machines can handle heavy powder and granular products and can counteract the inconsistency of irregularly shaped granules. Net weight fillers may not provide the consistency companies expect from f...

How Do I Know When a Process Should Be Automated?

Automation can improve the efficiency, safety, accuracy and speed of a process, but it also requires careful planning. There are many factors to consider and it can be difficult to know when a process should be automated. If you are wondering about automating a process at your processing plant, manufacturing plant, or another facility, consider the following. How to Know When a Process Should be Automated 1. Current Process Time vs. Projected Process Time Time is one of the most important factors to consider when deciding whether a process should be automated or not. A machine will perform most simple and repetitive processes faster than a person can. However, it is not only the individual process itself that should be considered, but the surrounding processes as well. 2. Accuracy Requirements Accuracy is another important factor to consider when a process should be automated. If machines are installed, maintained and programmed correctly, they will perform the same task, the same way,...
