Dust emission, metering deviation, difficult residue cleaning and poor connection with subsequent palletizing have long been prominent problems during the packaging of non-dairy creamer. With the wide application of non-dairy creamer in coffee creamer, milk tea base, baking ingredients, solid beverages and other fields, the terminal market has put forward higher requirements on net content accuracy, hygiene and safety of its packaging. From equipment selection to full palletizing process, this article systematically sorts out a complete packaging solution applicable to non-dairy creamer, milk powder creamer, coffee powder, cocoa powder, ice cream powder, grass jelly powder, instant beverage powder, seasoning powder, enzyme powder, meal replacement powder, sesame powder, soybean milk powder, baking powder, vanilla powder, lotus root starch and other powdery materials.
Equipment Advantages: Bottom-filling Design Solves Dust Problem
The semi-automatic 25kg bottom-filling powder packaging machine (Model: MC-DLLB-100L) adopts bottom-filling technology. Materials are filled from the bottom of packaging bags with a small drop distance. Powder sinks directly to the bag bottom and has less contact with air, so dust diffusion is controlled fundamentally. The whole machine adopts full stainless steel structure. The combined or open transparent bin can be disassembled and cleaned conveniently without tools, meeting strict hygiene and cleaning requirements in non-dairy creamer production.
In terms of metering accuracy, pneumatic bag clamping devices and brackets are directly mounted on weight sensors. Two-stage filling including high-speed feeding and low-speed fine feeding is carried out according to preset weight: materials are quickly filled to near the target weight at high flow rate, then accurately supplemented to the standard weight at low flow rate. The high-response weighing system is matched with PLC control system and touch screen man-machine interface for intuitive and convenient parameter adjustment. The weighing accuracy reaches ±0.1%～0.5%, and the packaging weight ranges from 5kg to 25kg. Adjustable parameters and formulas of different products can be stored in the system, supporting storage of up to 10 sets of formulas. Parameters can be called with one click during production changeover without repeated debugging.
Application Scenarios: Compatible with Various Powdery Materials
This model is suitable for powder and small granular materials with high packaging accuracy requirements, uneven density, good or poor fluidity. It covers food materials such as non-dairy creamer, starch, powdered sugar, premix powder, chili powder, cumin powder, mixed grain powder, cornstarch, potato powder, paprika powder, coconut powder, milk tea powder and soybean milk powder. It is also applicable to protein powder, medicinal powder, food additives, feed additives, veterinary drugs, glucose, carbon powder, dyestuff, essence and spice and other powdery materials. The equipment can be integrated into complete packaging production lines for finished product packaging workshops of non-dairy creamer manufacturers, solid beverage OEM factories and condiment processing enterprises to realize continuous operation from weighing to palletizing.
Packaging Process: Full Process Analysis from Filling to Palletizing
Taking non-dairy creamer packaging as an example, the workflow of the whole production line is as follows: Manual bag sleeving → Pneumatic bag clamping → Bottom-filling → Weighing and metering → Automatic bag releasing → Sealing → Conveying → Bag reversing and shaping → Weight re-inspection → Inkjet marking → Palletizing.
Step 1: Operators sleeve packaging bags onto the discharging port. Pneumatic bag clamping devices automatically fasten bag mouths and brackets hold up the bags. Weight sensors monitor weight changes in real time.
Step 2: Bottom-filling starts. Materials are pushed by the screw and enter the bags from the bottom at high speed. The system switches to low-speed fine feeding when approaching the preset weight.
Step 3: Bags are automatically released after weighing. Finished bags are delivered to the sealing station via conveyor belts, with optional heat sealing or stitching sealing.
Step 4: Sealed bags are adjusted in direction by bag reversing and shaping devices, then sent to weight checkers to remove unqualified products. Inkjet marking is carried out simultaneously.
Step 5: Sorted bags converge to the palletizing station through conveyor lines. Palletizing manipulators grab and stack bags automatically in preset patterns, completing the final link from packaging to warehousing.
Customer Pain Points and Solutions
Pain Point 1: Severe dust during filling, resulting in poor workshop environment and material loss
Traditional top feeding causes massive dust as powder falls from a height, leading to material waste and heavy cleaning work.
Solution: Adopt bottom-filling structure with discharging nozzle extending into bags for feeding from the bottom, featuring small drop distance and low dust emission. A dust suction device can be installed on the top of the material bin to further control dust diffusion.
Pain Point 2: Uneven density of non-dairy creamer leading to unstable metering accuracy
The bulk density varies among different batches of non-dairy creamer, and traditional volumetric metering produces large errors.
Solution: Adopt weighing-type metering system. Pneumatic bag clamping devices and brackets are installed on weight sensors to collect real-time weight data and make dynamic compensation. Combined with two-stage filling control, the net weight of each bag is guaranteed within the allowable error range.
Pain Point 3: Difficult cleaning of residual materials inside equipment, reducing production changeover efficiency
Frequent equipment cleaning is required when switching between different flavors or materials, and inconvenient disassembly will seriously affect production capacity.
Solution: The full stainless steel structure and combined or open transparent bin support quick disassembly and cleaning without tools, greatly shortening production changeover time.
Pain Point 4: Disconnection between packaging and palletizing processes, resulting in high manual handling cost
Manual carrying and stacking after packaging leads to low efficiency and potential safety hazards.
Solution: Connect the packaging machine to the full automatic production line. After packaging, products go through conveying, bag reversing and shaping, weight re-inspection and inkjet marking, and finally palletized automatically by manipulators, realizing seamless connection from packaging to warehousing.
