POWDER FILLING

Powder filling can be done for a wide variety of products.

However, some important aspects should be kept under consideration when you go for selecting a particular type of packaging for your powdered products.

These are as follows:

• The Fineness of Powder

Different powdered products have different fineness. They can be fine, very fine, granular, moderately granular, or very granular. Different filling techniques are applied for the filling of powders of different fineness.

• Flow Properties of Powder

A powder can either be free-flowing or non-free-flowing. It is considered as free-flowing when the particles are not cohesive like table salt or sugar which flows freely upon dispensing. While non-free-flowing powders are cohesive, for example, brown sugar and powdered milk. They tend to acquire the shape of the container in which they are kept and do not flow freely.

• Amount of Powder

Since powdered products can disperse easily that’s why it is important to keep a check and balance on the amount of powder that needs to be filled in a single pouch, sachet, or container.

• Type of Container/Pouch

The selection of a correct type of packaging for products is also an important factor that cannot be overlooked. Get in touch with professionals for determining the most suitable type of powder filling solution for your product.
