Filling your product’s bags can be one of the most difficult and time consuming parts of the production line. Bags generally come on rolls, and must be partially opened before filling. Then, the bags must be filled with the appropriate amount of product, checked for weight and sealed. If your company is performing this process manually, it really slows down production.
A filling machine can speed this process up considerably, automating the process and ensuring it is performed accurately. First, it takes the bag from the roll, and begins to form it so that it can be filled. Then, usually working with a machine that premeasures the product and dispenses it into the bag, it fills the bag. Finally, the machine seals the bag.
Using the filling machine and premeasured dispensing product, like a multihead weigher, together, you can dramatically increase the speed at which your bags are filled. This equipment takes up very little room on your floor, so you won’t even need to redesign your space to add the machines to the process.
In addition to a faster and more efficient process, you get a more sanitary process by using a filling machine and multihead weigher to fill your bags. Using this process, human hands need never touch the product.
To find out if a filling machine can improve your process, talk with a provider of food packaging equipment solutions. They can provide advice on which products make the most sense for your business, and help you get exactly the right models. These machines come in multiple configurations to suit any line and any size production facility.
Adding a filling machine can be a simple and inexpensive way to increase production without a lot of employee training or company investment.
