Granule & Powder Packaging Solution

LUNA's granule and powder solution combines combination-weigher and auger filling technologies. For free-flowing solids, a 14-head combination weigher hits 10–2000 g targets at 0.1–1.5 g accuracy with 99 product presets. For powders, a servo auger filler doses precisely, with screw changeover for different products. Lines integrate sealing, capping, labeling, automatic cartoning and desiccant-bag inserting, plus can seaming and inline UV sterilizing where needed. Suitable for granular foods, snacks, seeds, milk powder, solid beverages and pharmaceutical powders. ## Technical Specifications | Item | Range | |---|---| | Capacity | 30-120 bags/min (VFFS) | | Bag size | 50 g - 5 kg pillow/gusset/quad-seal | | Dosing | Multihead weigher (±0.5-1 g) / auger filler for powder | | Film | Laminated PE/PET, compostable options | | Dust control | Integrated extraction for fine powders | ## Typical Line Configuration Multihead weigher or auger filler, VFFS bagger, Z-conveyor, metal detector, checkweigher, case packer. ## Case Study A Thai rice snack brand packs 90 bags/min across 4 bag sizes with 0.6 g average giveaway on a 14-head weigher. ## FAQ **Q: Multihead weigher or auger filler - which do I need?** A: Free-flowing granules (rice, sugar, snacks) suit multihead weighers; cohesive powders (flour, spices, milk powder) need auger filling with servo control. **Q: What bag styles can one VFFS machine produce?** A: Pillow, gusseted and block-bottom on the same former set family; quad-seal requires a dedicated forming unit. **Q: How is dust explosion risk managed for fine powders?** A: Dust extraction at the filling zone, ATEX-rated motors where required, and grounding of all film-contact rollers.
