Dry Milk Powder Packing Machine Manufacturer
We introduced the milk powder can filling machine in detail before.
Some customers have inquired with solutions on how to packing milk powder in bags or pouches. This article will taking an in-depth look of milk powder packing machine are detail below.

- Third, maybe you will optional check weigher or metal detector equipment.
In addition, we need to distinguish the form of the bags or pouches. Whether the pouch is Pre-made or forming from film, because this is related to the packing solution we will talking about.
1, Auger Dosing Filler
A milk powder with a compressibility index higher than 28% is classified as cohesive (Ilari and Mekkaoui 2005) or, in other words, with lower flowability [1]. Similarly, we passed an interesting and simple test to verify that the milk powder is indeed lower flowability. Chick here to going to the test page.
Accurately Measure Milk Powder
Milk powder is a dry nutritional formula. The powder mixed with multivitamin powder.
Generally, the auger filler is more accurately measured the milk powder. Auger filling is also the most popular dosing method because the advantage of closed structure and servo driven.
No more explanation here, who are interested can refer to: Some Problems You Will Meet When Picking an Auger Filler.
1, Regarding the Pre-made Pouch
A pick-fill-seal machine is the idear choose for automatic packing the milk powder in Pre-made Pouch.
The pick-fill-seal machine is rotary layout. This rotary design conserves plant floor space and is constructed with ergonomics top-of-mind, and thus is seeing more popularity than inline models.
Premade Bag Milk Powder Pick Fill Seal Machine
As the picture shows: A milk powder pick-fill-seal packing machine inclded: one of pick-fill-seal machine, one of auger filler and one of screw converyor feeder.
Among them, the pick-fill-seal machine is equipped with 8 stations, and each station performs a different packaging task. This process involves moving the pouches in an intermittent rotary fashion to different ‘stations’ positioned in a circular layout.
Such as: Loading pouch, Gripping pouch, Printing/Embossing, Opening pouch, Filling milk powder, Reserve, Sealing, Cooling & Discharge.
2, Regarding the Film
A vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machine is the idear choose for automatic packing the milk powder in a pouch which the pouch forming from film.
Vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machine start with a large roll of film, form it into a bag shape, fill the bag with product, and seal it, all in a vertical fashion.
As the picture shows:
A milk powder VFFS packing machine inclded: one of vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machine, one of auger filler and one of screw converyor feeder.
Among them, the vertical form fill seal (VFFS) divided into the following steps:
- 1. Film Transport & Unwind;
- 2. Film Tension;
- 3. Printing (Optional);
- 4. Film Tracking and Positioning;
- 5. Forming Pouch;
- 6. Filling Pouch;
- 7. Sealing Pouch;
- 8. Discharge Finished Product.
