Context & customer needs
The customer, a manufacturer of meat powders for animal nutrition and the food industry, wanted to modernise its packaging process by installing two ultra-hygienic lines adapted to strict regulatory requirements. The project was based on a hygienic bagging line with rotary sifter, designed to increase production speed while optimising the layout within a limited footprint. It included a 25 kg bagging line with automated cartoning and a big bag line with complete logistics management. All process stages were designed to be cleanable manually and/or automatically via CIP/NEP, ensuring maximum hygiene and minimal operator intervention.
Our client’s objectives were
- To modernise the packaging process.
- To comply with strict hygiene standards.
- To increase production speed.
- To optimise floor space utilisation.
- Reduce operator intervention.
- Integrate automated CIP/NEP.
- Package in bags and big bags.
- Ensure reliable and hygienic closure.
The customer wanted to set up two ultra-hygienic packaging lines capable of increasing throughput while fitting into a limited space. The aim was also to reduce operator intervention through CIP/CPE cleaning and complete automation of flows.
Customer product
Meat powder
The lines handle meat powders intended for the food industry and animal nutrition, sensitive products requiring rigorous hygiene. These powders generate dust and agglomerates, hence the need for secure sieving, precise dosing and perfectly sealed packaging.
Halpaq & Palamatic Process Solution
The solution is based on a hygienic bagging line with rotary sifter, combining a rotary sieve, an HBM1030 hygienic bagging machine and a fully automated cartoning line. It is complemented by a second big bag line, fully cleanable via CIP/NEP. The complete system forms a compact, ultra-hygienic and highly productive installation.
The solution implemented includes:
- Rotary safety sieve
- Buffer hopper weighed on load cells
- HBM1030 hygienic bagging machine
- ±20 g screw dosing system
- CIP nozzles and Dry In Place system
- Bag closure: welding or sewing
- Conveyor to robotic packing station
- EasyClean® stainless steel big bag line
- Pneumatic collar + double-walled sleeve
- Gravity hopper + guillotine valve
- Motorised pallet conveyor
- Automated storage area evacuation
- Centralised control via Pal’Touch® screen
Overall operation of the line
The product is sieved and then measured via a weighing hopper before being automatically bagged by the HBM1030. The bags are then closed, conveyed and placed in cartons via a robotic station. At the same time, the big bag line automatically fills, flanges and evacuates the containers in a continuous hygienic flow.
Products handled
The lines handle meat powders intended for the food industry and animal nutrition, sensitive products requiring rigorous hygiene. These powders generate dust and agglomerates, hence the need for secure sieving, precise dosing and perfectly sealed packaging.
