When your business simply filled a few pouches of your product so you could take them to the farmer’s market and sell on a Saturday or Sunday morning, you may have perfected the ability to fill the pouches without too much waste. Nevertheless, that waste is a loss of your profits and at some stage you must wonder when you can purchase efficient bag filling machines to take over the task, which also proves your business is now full-time occupation.
Replace Your Bowl, Jug and Kitchen Utensils
When you move your business from the kitchen to a commercial operation, bag filling machines can easily take over the task of filling pouch bags or other containers.
They provide a large element of consistency, releasing just the right amount of product into the bag so that every customer receives exactly the same amount. This allows you to be able to cost your expenses efficiently.
While some commercial operations guard their managing of bag filling machines and techniques, most use automated machines which complete the entire task of filling the unit and sealing it, so that it meets FDA compliance.
By removing the human element from the operation, apart from reducing the cost of paying an individual to fill the bag, you take away human error which may dispense too much or too little into the container. Customers will be quick to tell you when you are producing packaging where the content is less than the specifications. Your profit levels will be sure to tell you when you are putting too much of your product into the container.
Because the system is automated, a conveyor belt will pick up the bag or the pouch, which will be opened either by a robotic arm or a similar method. When the pouch or bag is in position, a nozzle will open and fill the bag with a specific amount of your product, before moving it on to be sealed, and prepared for shipping.
The automated filling machines can be adjusted to accept a variety of products. For example, where you intend to sell a range of sauces, some may be thicker than others. The machine can be adapted to produce the required weight of product, whatever the thickness of the product.
