Key Product Features

The strength of our Automated Granule Packaging Lines lies in their robust design and intelligent features, which are tailored to meet the rigorous demands of modern food production facilities.

• High-Speed Multi-Lane Filling Technology: The core of the system features advanced multi-head weighers and volumetric fillers that operate across multiple lanes simultaneously. This design dramatically increases throughput, allowing for the packaging of dozens of pouches or sachets per minute without compromising on filling accuracy.
• Intelligent Weight Control & Product Giveaway Reduction: Equipped with high-precision load cells and feedback control systems, the line continuously monitors and adjusts each fill cycle. This ensures every package meets the exact target weight, significantly reducing product giveaway and saving substantial material costs over time.
• Versatile Packaging Format Compatibility: The system is highly adaptable, capable of producing various pouch styles including stand-up pouches, flat bottom bags, three-side seal bags, and stick packs. It handles a wide range of packaging films, including laminates with high-barrier properties for extended shelf life.
• Fully Automated, Touch-Free Operation: From the automatic film unwinding and forming to the final date coding and batch counting, the entire process requires minimal operator intervention. This touch-free operation enhances hygiene, reduces contamination risk, and allows staff to focus on supervision and quality control.
• User-Friendly HMI & PLC Control: The entire line is managed through a centralized, intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI) powered by a programmable logic controller (PLC). Operators can easily set parameters, switch between product recipes, monitor real-time performance, and access diagnostic data for quick troubleshooting.
• Robust & Hygienic Stainless-Steel Construction: Critical components in contact with the product are constructed from food-grade 304 or 316 stainless steel. The sanitary design features smooth surfaces, easy-clean access points, and complies with industry standards for food safety and easy maintenance.
