Powder & Bulk Solids Handling & Processing Innovations
When tasked with selecting the right equipment to handle your packaging process there are three main areas to take into consideration. First, what style of package is right for the product? Second, what characteristics does the product have? Finally, what performance criteria is required of this particular process? This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in packaging and bagging system design.
Flexible bulk materials receptacles such as big bags have become firmly established for handling powders in a variety of branches. They have clear advantages over sacks when it comes to transporting and storing bulk materials. They are environmentally friendly, require less operating staff and storage space and reduce costs for transport and processes.

More and more companies are using automation to promote improvements in production levels and reduce overall labor costs. The market’s demand for filling machines is on an upward trend. In recent years, as the technology advancements have increased, so have the filling industry’s performance, quality and designs.
Read moreHONEY BROOK, PA – A potential customer came to AMS with an existing auger filler with outdated parts and controls. They needed to update their equipment to improve their fill weight accuracies and reduce waste.
Read moreHONEY BROOK, PA – One common problem when filling powder type products is the electrostatic charge created by the filling process. Powders generate static due to surface contact and movement of the product within the filler, which creates a disruptive charge. When this happens the product clings to either the outside of the lip funnel or the outside wall of the collector funnel, creating product build up. This can result in inaccurate fill weights leading to a less efficient production process.
Read morePowder storage silos are an inherent part of all dairy powder production plants. They provide a buffer between the continuously running dryer and the packaging line ensuring a natural flow through the process. However, thanks to GEA, new Limited Intervention Filling systems are so efficient and reliable that the days of the silo could be numbered.
