The powder packaging<\/strong> market is growing. Whether it be ground masalas or milk powder, drink mixes or nutraceutical products, flour or pre-mixes, there is a huge amount of food, pharma and other powders out there, all waiting to be packed in safe, accurate and hygienic packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As convenience products become increasingly popular, we can expect more products and varying package formats for products like spice blends, instant coffee, and variants, drink mixes, protein powders, sweetners, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges of powder packaging<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When choosing a powder\npackaging machine<\/a><\/strong>, or even when providing a powder packaging solution<\/strong>, it is essential to study and understand\ncertain characteristics of the specific powder application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it free-flowing? Products such as table\nsalt or sugar flow freely when dispensed, and do not compact when extra\npressure is added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it non free-flowing? These tend to be\ncohesive and compact under pressure. These include products like brown sugar,\npowdered milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How dusty is it? Products like flour, when\ndispensed, form a cloud of dust that travels far and clings to every surface in\nthe vicinity. These airborne particles can cause serious mechanical issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other aspects to be considered as well, such as bulk density of the product, which all directly determine pouch sizes and attributes, the type of filler required, as well as the packaging speeds that can be delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
