Compound Oatmeal Packaging Machine: Precisely Adapt to Multi-material Mixed Packaging, Fully Automatic Production Line Helps Food Enterprises Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency

I. Industry Background: Four Major Problems Faced by the Packaging of Instant Food Such as Compound Oatmeal

With the popularization of healthy diet concepts, the market demand for breakfast meal replacement instant food such as compound oatmeal, oatmeal soybean powder and oatmeal lotus root powder has grown rapidly. Such products are usually mixed by various materials including oat flakes, oat powder, soybean milk powder, lotus root powder, Chinese yam powder, millet powder, grain powder, walnut powder, black sesame powder, kudzu root powder, konjac powder and nut granules. The materials feature large density difference, high powder fineness, easy dusting, moisture absorption and agglomeration.

In actual production, many food enterprises generally encounter four pain points:

• Serious dust pollution: Ultra-fine soybean powder and lotus root powder drift during filling, causing material waste, affecting workshop environment and failing to pass clean production audit.
• Insufficient metering accuracy: Due to different fluidity of mixed materials, traditional equipment is prone to delamination and proportion fluctuation, resulting in inconsistent taste of each bag of products.
• Material blockage and bridging: Large particles or moisture-absorbed powder in oatmeal easily block the discharging channel, and frequent shutdown and cleaning reduce production capacity.
• High reliance on manual work at the end: A large number of workers are still required for carton packing and palletizing after packaging, leading to incomplete production line automation and high labor costs.

In view of the above problems, Marchi Packaging Equipment Co., Ltd. launched the Precision Formula Packaging Machine fully automatic vertical packaging production line for compound oatmeal. Specially developed for multi-material mixing, ultra-fine powder and flake particle packaging scenarios, the equipment has been widely applied nationwide, covering Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Hunan, Sichuan, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hebei, Liaoning, Yunnan, Chongqing, Hubei, Guizhou, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Hainan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other regions.
