Powder packaging machines, therefore, play a crucial role. After all, primary packaging is the last step in the manufacturing process. The product that has been produced is filled in packaging that will ensure its protection and safe handling till it reaches the consumer. Problems at the packaging stage mean the entire process suffers in quality or throughput.

Some of the problems faced in dry powder filling machines:

Powder flow properties: Product flowability is of utmost importance. Powder fillers are sensitive to powders that are cohesive. This is especially true for small packaging formats and in cup dosing systems that rely on gravity to fill and empty cups.

The flow in the hopper above the filling head must be good, otherwise, the powder will reach the filling head on an irregular pattern causing deviation in the actual weight packed.

Weight control: The filling process is usually volumetric. This often causes variability in the actual weight filled. The volume of product being moved by the dosing system to a pack must be very well controlled so it results in a constant, consistent weight which is what consumers are paying for.

Leakage of pack: Sealing of the pack must be done without powder sticking in between the 2 sides of the packaging material. This usually happens if the product, while falling into the pack generates dust, and the dust does not settle before the sealing jaws close.

Sanitation: This includes containment, prevention of contamination and cleaning. For both food producers and pharmaceutical manufacturers, product quality is paramount. So, they require packaging equipment that eliminates contamination, while providing containment of dust and spillage, as well as easy cleaning.

Especially if your business deals with fresh, food products, it is essential that the product is weighed efficientlywhile moving at great speed, and filled competently, without waste.

Multi head weigher delivers two main advantages: speed and accuracy. So if you’re looking for an efficient tea packaging machine or coffee packaging machine, namkeen packing machine or any powder packaging machine, a multi head weigher packing machine makes good business sense.

In fact, this machine works well even for products such as sugar, grains, spices, pasta, dog food, etc., which are often considered difficult to weigh efficiently or tend to get stuck within the equipment.

How does a multi head weigher packing machine work?

Basically, a multi head weigher packing machine takes bulk product and weighs it into smaller increments according tothe weight programmed into its software. The bulk product is fed into the scale through the infeed funnel on top. The top cone and feed pans vibrate and gently move the product towards the weigh buckets around the edge of the scale which are constantly weighing the product they contain.

To reach the target weight, the software chooses the sum of a combination of buckets which add up to the correct amount.

Standard multi-head weighers range from 10 to 24 heads. The more weighing heads a system has, higher the possible speeds and greater the accuracy.
