Counteraction to the microbial environment is the most important component of a healthy lifestyle for a modern person. Every day we are faced with a mass of pathogenic microorganisms that must be destroyed in a timely manner, primarily from the hands, as the most contaminated parts of the body.
Milk is one of the most demanded food products and is present in the daily diet of most modern consumers. Today on the market, this product is represented in a wide variety and in various packages, with different percentage of fat content and other features. In this article, we will cover in detail issues related to the processes of filling and packaging milk in containers: the way packaging materials are selected, specific features of technology and types of appropriate equipment for production facilities are offered.
Vials, bottles, cans, buckets and conical shaped cups have already become common and familiar to us in packaging of various products. In retail outlets, you can find a wide selection of products manufactured in such containers: yogurts, sauces, condensed milk, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, sports nutrition, cosmetic creams and others. In highly competitive environment manufacturers develop new, even more original and more convenient for the consumer containers on the basis of the main cone format (for example, an hourglass PET bottle, which is widely used for filling mineral water and sweet carbonated drinks).
Sachet is a type of individual packaging of portioned products that is widely in demand in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Demand for these compact packaging in the consumer environment is growing rapidly every year. This trend is primarily associated with mobility and convenience of sachets, which are the main companions of the modern buyer. The appearance and distribution of these packages is dictated by the current concept of the everyday rhythm of life, when everything you need is at hand, does not burden large volumes and provides flexibility of use.
The conveyor is an integral part of any filling line and acts as a connecting link between different technological sections. By means of a conveyor, containers move from one unit to another, which ensures timely washing, dosing, capping, labeling and other operations. The difficulty in choosing the optimal conveyor lies in the fact that the installation must meet all the necessary technical requirements in a particular production line and fulfill the task effectively, stably and safely.
Toothed metal lids have long been a part of the image of mineral water, beer, lemonade and other drinks in glass bottles. Not everyone knows that this device, called crown cork, has its own history, a number of types and wide application possibilities.
Filling lines are technological systems for sequential execution of various packaging processes. Linear packaging systems are built based on modular architecture. Depending on the individual filling technology, the layout of the lines is carried out by washing, dosing, capping, labeling and other equipment. The connecting element between the sections is the conveyor along which the container moves.
The quality of packaging technical processes is one of the key criteria for product competitiveness. Correspondence of the actual volume to the declared one, hermetic capping and an even label have a significant impact on the overall impression of the consumer about the product. That is why responsible manufacturers carefully choose equipment, choosing in favor of reliable installations of reputable brands.
