Project

Packaging machinery for the packaging of powdered soup (instant powder) in pillow format with the Vertical Form Fill and Seal (VFFS) packaging machine Maxpack MFT-540.

Requirements

  • The machine should form, fill and seal bags with dry soup product
  • The product consists of two parts: the first part is a dry powder, and the second, a dry paste
  • The dry powder should be dosed by a screw shape doser
  • The paste with volumetric dispenser should be dosed by a cup shaped doser
  • The bag must have a gusset to stand up
  • Dimensions of the cover:
    • Width: 250 mm
    • Length: 300 mm
  • Material needed: Laminated

Solution

  • Recommended speed should be approximately between 30 – 40 BPM
  • A machine designed to form pillow bags with 3 seals and side bellows with laminated film material
  • A vertical machine with double dosing system with food grade steel structure AISI SS 304 #:
    • Filling servo screw for the powder
    • Filling of volumetric cup for dry paste

Take Away:

When analyzing the customer’s requirements, specifically requesting a machine for packaging in 3 seal pillow bag with side gusset, the solution proposed was to use the Maxpack MFT-540 machine, which has the capacity, speed and dimensions to handle the different presentations of the client. For the filling of the product (soup powder), we implemented a double dosing system that consists of: filling of servo screw without end to dose powder and filling volumetric cups to dose dry pasta. Additionally, the machine is able to work in severe environments (wet and with the presence of dust) which made the proposal perfect for the clients needs.
