Case Study #3: Packaging Freeze Dried Products in Doypack

Project

The project consists of packaging freeze dried fruits in doypack with our Maxpack MFSG-180Z.

Requirements

  • A production of 500,000 units per month, during shifts of 8 to 12 hours
  • The packaging (20-30 g) should contain a maximum of 4 freeze-dried products (in some cases it can be a single product) For example: apples, peaches, strawberries, blackberries, pineapples, mangoes, etc. (roughly cut up) and vegetables such as: celery, carrots, spinach, peas, etc
  • The product cannot be previously mixed due to the different granulometries presented
  • The final mixture can be incorporated with a sweetener such as: sugar (5 g), sweetener (0.1-0.5 g) or another type of product

Solution

We recommended:

  • An approximate speed between 35 – 45 BPM.
  • A packaging machine with a SS 304 # stainless steel structure and contact parts in Food Grade SS 304 #
  • A multihead 32H Combination Scale with 800 ml buckets for reduced sizes and for a combination of up to 4 products (8 buckets per product), with a frame in SS 304 #, contact parts in Food Grades SS 304 # and a flexible sleeve cover in the upper part to protect the product from breaks
  • A linear scale with 4H high speed to dose powders or sugar
    An elevator Z-shape product with frame in SS 304 # and buckets Food Grade PP.

Take Away:

When analyzing the customer’s requirements, specifically requesting a machine for packaging freeze dried fruits, the solution proposed was to use our Maxpack MFSG-180Z machine, which has the capacity, speed and dimensions to handle the different presentations of the customer. For the dosing of the product (freeze dried fruits), we implemented an intelligent weighing system that consists of a multi-head capable of combining different fruit recipes according to their weight. The multihead can make combinations of up to 4 fruits at the same time, allocating 8 cells for the dosage of each one. A multi-head of small buckets (800ml) was selected due to the small amounts of each fruit to be packed.
