When packaging free-flowing powders you might deal with a wide range of density, cohesion, moisture content and external factors like temperature, humidity and hold time can also impact your packaging efforts. Several choices are available when it comes to automatic bagging for granular powders, Form Fill Seal or FFS bagging for powders a robot palletiser for powders, here’s what you need to know.

This automatic open-mouth bagging machine can fill bags up to 50kgs in weight at a throughput of up to 600 bags per hour. It’s a common choice for businesses wanting automatic bagging for granular powders as it’s equipped to minimise product wastage and ensure a safer working environment thanks to its dust-tight filling spout and the perfect bag closure.

This Big Bag filling machine packages powders in quantities between 500kg and 1500 tons at speeds between 30 and 60 bags hourly. It's suited to filling powders for food ingredients as it's available in food-grade models. It's also available in ATEX versions for a safer working environment and prevents explosions. This machine can cleanly and accurately fill dusty and light powders with its pressure balance control and integrated deaeration system. Its hopper's Archimedean evacuation screws allow for deaeration and prevent rat holes and as it uses a dust-tight inflatable collar to ensure no particles escape during the filling process. Filling is waste-free and safer as the bag's nitrogen is safely vented back into the circuit by automatically modulated valves.
Preparing Your Powder For Packaging And Distribution
Once packaged, powders can be wrapped and palletised using automatic and a robot palletiser for powders. This ensures that each bag remains clean and tightly packed.
