Do you know the most important considerations for liquid packaging applications? It depends on your production line goals, but every successful liquid packaging line must consider some common factors. These include:

Rate - How fast does the container need to fill? The filling speed largely determines whether your application requires manual fillers, inline fillers or rotating fillers. It also has the level of automation required to achieve the required fill speed.

Viscosity-viscosity also plays an important role in selecting the right liquid packaging equipment. Make sure your integrator is able to handle a wide range of products with different viscosities.

MSDS - The chemical composition of the substance to be filled is critical. With a clear understanding of the Material Safety Data Sheet, integrators can accurately select the structural materials of the packaging system to avoid any potential contamination during the filling process.

Foaming risk - The tendency of the product to create a foam during the filling process will help determine the specific type of filling nozzle and whether the filling should be underground.

Industry - Equipment that serves the food and beverage industry is often different from the type of equipment that is used to serve the industry. Work with experienced integrators with experience in industrial and health applications.

Downtime tolerance - Every liquid packaging application should consider the need for a quick change. The integrator must also evaluate the range of products that are filled on the line and the cleaning requirements between each product run.

Regional Classification - Does your app have flammability issues? Because security is critical, choose an integrator who has a deep understanding of all applicable regional classifications and regulatory codes.

Smoking and Exhaust - Certain chemicals can cause injury to the operator if proper smoking and venting are not installed for your liquid packaging operations.

Filling accuracy - Filling accuracy must be considered when evaluating liquid packaging systems. The more expensive the liquid to be filled, the higher the precision and the more important the system. When high precision is required, the best results can be obtained by weight or flow meter filling. If the accuracy is not as important, volume filling is sufficient.
