Customer requirements
-
Closed system packaging of spice mixtures, which are extremely dusty products.
-
Precise product dosing with smaller and larger volumes (batches).
-
Easy cleaning of the doser.
-
Emphasis on machine life within demanding dusty environments.
-
2 types of bags: pillow and stand-up bags with folded bottoms.
Delivered solution
HSV360A-CAM vertical packaging machine series with HS.S1 auger weigher, combining volume dosing with weighing.
The HS.S1 dosing scale ensures maximum dosing accuracy by automatically switching the auger doser from volume to weighing mode. Particularly at the beginning and end of the packaging process, the bulk density of the product is unstable. Therefore, it is not possible to achieve satisfactory precision with conventional auger dosing. It is precisely thanks to the use of the weighing mode at these dosing phases, and because of the small batches (100-200 kg), that a significant percentage of losses by the customer is prevented.
