What Should I Consider when Buying a Powder Filling Machine?

High Automation with High OEE

One of the biggest factors in choosing a powder filling machine is how much you need it to automate your production . Some rotary type fillers are designed with advanced automation in mind, while others have features that allow for more manual operation. If your current output is relatively low and staffing is not a pressing issue, investing in a solution with a high degree of automation may not pay off reasonably well, but if you are looking for higher output, automation will greatly impact your performance.
While not unique to powder filling, automated filling components are often better suited for high-volume operations. The reason is that they often have more advanced features that allow you to do more with less labor.

Filling Accuracy

The higher the value of your powdered product, the higher the filling accuracy and the higher your priority list will be. Powder packaging filling accuracy can be tricky because even environmental factors can affect the density of product fed into the filling assembly. 
For example, daily variations in humidity levels can change the density of a powder product at room temperature. Temperature fluctuations throughout the shift can cause similar problems - so to avoid quality problems with low-precision machine components, it's important to choose products that can adapt to fluctuations in the production environment. 
These machines can be fully integrated with bagging machines, include auxiliary sensors for monitoring fill weight, and can automatically adjust settings to minimize density differences between powders. Accurate powder filling machines help ensure that end users do not experience quality issues due to large differences in total powder weight percentages and help you minimize product giveaways.

Powder Filler Accessibility

The third key factor to consider when evaluating a powder packaging solution is the level of accessibility. What is packer accessibility? This is the level at which operators and maintenance personnel can access various components on their machine visually and/or manually as needed. This can be anything from electrical components to the products in the machine. High machine accessibility ultimately translates into shorter washdown downtime, which saves you money. Importantly, maintenance tasks are not only simple but safe, so they can be performed efficiently shift by shift, year after year.
