We offer solutions to fill your pharmaceutical and nutraceutical powders into bags using a variety of solutions.

The servo-driven Star Auger automatic filling machine delivers exceptional accuracy, speed, and versatility for powder and granule packaging applications. Engineered to handle a wide range of products, this robust machine features stainless steel construction for durability and hygienic operation. Its user-friendly design, with easily removable tooling and hopper, simplifies cleaning and maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and product integrity.

 

When it comes to bagging their are 2 main options that stand out. Form fill and seal style bags or premade pouches.

A Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machine is a versatile and efficient packaging solution commonly used in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. This advanced equipment automates the production of various package types, including pouches, sachets, and bags. Here's a breakdown of the VFFS process:

  1. Film Formation: A roll of specialized packaging film, often with barrier properties to protect sensitive products, is unwound and formed into a tube.
  2. Pouch Creation: The formed tube is precisely cut and sealed to create individual pouches of the desired size and shape.
  3. Product Filling: The open pouches are filled with pharmaceutical or nutraceutical products using accurate and hygienic filling methods. These methods may include:
    • Weight Filling: Dispensing a precise weight of powder or granular products.
    • Volumetric Filling: Discharging a specific volume of liquid or semi-solid products.
    • Auger Filling: Delivering a controlled amount of powder or granular products.
  4. Sealing and Cutting: The filled pouches are sealed using heat sealing techniques, ensuring product integrity and hermetic closure. The sealed pouches are then cut from the film roll, ready for further processing.

Our premade pouch baggers offer automated solutions for stand-up bags. Designed to enhance efficiency and precision in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical packaging, the Swifty Bagger® offers a seamless solution for automating stand-up pouch filling.
