Wheat flour packaging machine
Wheat flour is a fine powder that compacts and raises dust easily. It is sold in 1 kg consumer bags and in sacks for bakeries and industry, and each format needs a different solution.
At YM Packaging we build flour lines with an auger filler and vertical packaging machine for consumer bags, and with a bagging machine for large sacks.
Packing wheat flour: the challenges
- Fine powder: it escapes during filling and can soil the seal.
- Variable density: flour compacts, so dosing must be stable.
- Hygiene: quick cleaning when changing product or flour type.
- Heavy sacks: large formats call for a dedicated bagging machine.

Frequently asked questions
What packaging machine do I need for flour?
For consumer bags, a vertical packaging machine with an auger filler. For large sacks, the EVR 1100 bagging machine.
How do you stop dust affecting the seal?
By synchronising the filler with sealing and controlling the product drop. We fine-tune it with your flour during trials.
Does the same line work for other flours?
Yes, in many cases. By changing the filler recipe, flours of different densities can be packed.
