Packaging solutions

Powder and flour packaging

Flour, starch, sugar and other powders do not flow like grain: they compact, raise dust and can soil the bag seal. That is why they are dosed with dedicated systems such as the auger filler, and the machine has to be designed to handle powder.

At YM Packaging we manufacture vertical, horizontal, and sachet and stick pack machines for powdered products, as well as bagging machines for large sacks. We design the complete line around your product.

Machines by product

Packing powdered products: the challenges

Airborne dust: it soils the machine and sealing area if not controlled.
Product that compacts: the filler must maintain density and accuracy.
Cleaning and allergens: fast, easy-to-clean changeovers between products.
Very different formats: single doses, consumer bags, doypacks and sacks.

Frequently asked questions

Which filler is used for powdered products?

Usually an auger filler, which doses accurately by volume. It is mounted on vertical and horizontal packaging machines.

How is dust controlled?

With enclosed dosing, good synchronisation between filler and sealing and, depending on the product, extraction systems. We define this during the project.

Do you pack protein powder?

Yes. We have a dedicated protein powder line and solutions for sports supplements.
