Single doses of vitamin powder

Objective
To fill single doses of vitamin powders and supplements into pouches.

Problem
A start-up customer required a low cost filling and sealing system for single doses ranging from 0.5 gr to 7gr of non-free flowing vitamin powders and supplements. Small pouches are difficult for an operator to handle and seal by hand.

Case Study #3:
Powder into single serve vials

Objective
To fill a caffeine and vitamin powder mixture into single serve vials for sale with bottled water at rates of 120 cpm.

Problem
Small fill sizes and small vials created accuracy and container handling challenges. Fill accuracy was of utmost importance to the customer. The small vials featured an attached cap which made orientation of containers through the filler critical.

Solution
PER-FIL® Micro-4 Servo Driven Four Spindle Filler was integrated with a container handling system to ensure precise container handling and orientation. The four spindle filler featured individual servo drives for optimum control over auger speed and revolutions resulting in optimum fill accuracy. Individual agitators ensured consistent movement and mixing of product in the filler hopper.

Case Study #4:
Ultra-precise filling into pouches

Objective
Ultra-precise filling of Stucco powder into pouches.

Problem
Customer required a NET WEIGH filler with vertical Form/Fill/Seal system. Sticky powder product requires an auger for dispense (rather than weigh bucket type filler). Customer would not accept volumetric auger fill with checkweigh feedback.

Solution
PER-FIL® Model MFNW features a vertical auger which meters into a net weigh bucket. The auger is controlled by two Mettler-Toledo load cells. When the desired NET weight is achieved the product is dropped down the forming tube of the F/F/S system ensuring fill accuracy of +/- 0.5% or better.
