How to select the best food production line parts

Choosing the best food production line parts is something that should be done with great care. There are numerous machines and components on the market, and you need to be sure that the one you choose will integrate seamlessly into your production line and improve your workflow in all areas, from efficiency to hygiene. How do you go about choosing the best food filling machines and other components for your filling line?

Selecting the best equipment for seamless food production

The equipment you use on your food production line actually forms the very heart of your business. Poorly chosen machinery could lead to slow production, damaged packaging, breakdowns and delays, and more difficult cleaning, all of which will affect the quality of your product - and thus, your reputation and sales. To ensure that none of this occurs, the best place to start is with your product itself. 

When Multi-Fill is contracted to create a food filling solution for you, we need to know the consistency of your product, and we need to understand the temperature requirements. We also need to know what containers you use and how you want them filled. Once we’ve established this, we need to determine what you are hoping to achieve with your new machines. Do you want to speed up production, or make your filling line run more smoothly? Are you looking to change your filling line at all, or simply expand and improve it? All this information will help us to suggest the right kind of machine for you, as well as informing the engineering and design process.

With that being said, what are your options? You could select vertical form fill seal (VFFS) or horizontal form fill seal (HFFS) solutions, with one of many volumetric fillers carefully chosen to handle your product. You may also want to add conveyors with variable speeds, as well as inspection and labeling machinery. Each operation and product will have unique needs. For best results, you should work with filling technology experts to devise a solution that is perfectly suited to your products.
