What We Package
Our food-format lines cover single-serve cups through to dry bagged snacks, spanning cold-chain dairy to shelf-stable condiments.
Engineering Considerations
Food and snack products vary enormously in form (liquid, semi-solid, dry powder, chunky), so dosing technology and format selection are decided product-by-product, not category-by-category.
Products with fruit pieces or granules need piston or multihead-weigher dosing rather than volumetric pump filling.
Dairy and chilled desserts require food-grade contact parts, validated CIP, and hot-fill or cold-chain compatible sealing.
Dry snacks and coffee are typically sensitive to oxygen and moisture — nitrogen flushing extends shelf life significantly.
Portion-controlled products (condiment sachets, snack multi-packs) need tight fill-weight tolerance and downstream grouping equipment.
Allergen-containing lines (nuts, dairy, gluten) require documented cleaning validation between SKU changeovers.
Peelable or resealable lidding is often a marketing requirement, not just a functional one — factor it into film selection early.
Machinery We Recommend
Cup lines cover most dairy and dessert formats; bottle lines cover jarred and bottled sauces and condiments; bag lines cover dry and powdered snack products.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can the same line run both liquid and chunky products?
Piston dosing handles both free-flowing liquids and small particulates reliably, and is the default choice when a line needs to run mixed product types. Peristaltic pump dosing is gentler but is not suitable for products with particulates that could damage the pump tubing.
-
How do you handle allergen changeovers between different snack products?
We specify automated CIP or documented manual cleaning procedures with validated contact-surface swab testing, sized to your specific allergen risk profile. This is discussed during the engineering review before equipment is finalised — it directly affects dosing head design and material selection.
