The powder\npackaging<\/a><\/strong> market is growing fast. Whether it be ground masalas\nor milk powder, drink mixes or nutraceutical products, flour or pre-mixes,\nthere is a huge amount of food, pharma and other powders out there, all waiting\nto be packed in safe, accurate and hygienic packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Challenges of powder\npackaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When choosing a powder packaging machine<\/strong>, or even when\nproviding a powder\npackaging solution<\/strong>, it is essential to study and understand the\npertinent characteristics of the specific powder application. Different powders\ncome with their own challenges. Some are free-flowing, others are not. Some,\nlike flour, cause a dusty environment. Certain powders like agrochemicals can\nturn explosive with certain gases and an electrical spark. Product changeovers\ncan also cause cross-contamination issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some aspects to be considered when choosing a powder\npackaging machine<\/a><\/strong> are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the powder free-flowing? Products such as table salt or\nsugar flow freely when dispensed, and do not compact when extra pressure is\nadded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the powder non-free-flowing? These tend to be cohesive and\ncompact under pressure. These include products like brown sugar, powdered milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How dusty is the powder? Products like flour, when dispensed,\nform a cloud of dust that travels far and clings to every surface in the\nvicinity. 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\ndensity of the product, which all directly determine pouch sizes and\nattributes, the type of filler required, as well as the packaging speeds that can\nbe delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
