How Does a Powder Filling Machine Work?
How a powder filler works will depend on the machine’s automation level. Below is a short video showing how a powder filling machine works.
Automatic Powder Filling Machines
Automatic powder fillers are equipped with the latest technologies to provide packagers a more efficient, robust, and cost-effective packaging machine. The points below summarize how these machines work:
· The operator supplies bulk amounts of the powder product into the hopper and feeds the machine with empty containers.
· The conveyor directs the empty containers and positions them below the filling head.
· The machine measures/weighs the powder product to be dispensed into each container.
· The filling head dispenses consistent amounts of the powder product into each container.
· The filled containers proceed to the sealing station where the powder sealing machine seals them.
Semi-Automatic Powder Filling Machines
Semi-automatic powder fillers work the same way as automatic powder fillers. The only difference is that these machines will require help for the filling process.
Whereas automatic powder fillers use conveyor systems to automatically fill the containers, operators of semi-automatic fillers need to manually place each container to be filled under the machine’s filling head and initiate the filling process using a finger or foot switch. Once the container is filled, the operator needs to remove it manually again and repeat the same process until all containers are filled.
Manual Powder Filling Machines
Manual powder filling machines work similarly to semi-automatic powder fillers. These are small powder filling machines that do not require a power source and are only used for very small production demands.
