Whether it's sauces, cream, paste, or even water, a quick, clean, and easy using modern flexible packaging machines will help a lot during the liquid packaging.
If you're looking for a automatic liquid pouch packaging machine, there are three main things your packaging equipment manufacturer or integrator needs to know to provide the best liquid packing machine for your application.
Viscosity
Viscosity is defined as a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, also called fluidity. A liquid with higher viscosity, such as icing or honey, resists motion because of large internal friction. A fluid with lower viscosity, such as water or oil, flows easily because there is very little friction when it is in motion.
When it comes to selecting liquid packing machines, viscosity of the product is a vital detail and must be accurate. Viscosity determines filler type: It must provide the right amount of force to induce flow.
Particulates
Liquids like salad, soups, and sauces often contain particulates. These particulates are usually spices, flavor additions and even vegetables, such as vegetable sauce. Particulates can be suspended in the liquid or they can settle toward the bottom of the liquid.
When packaging liquids with particulates, special care must be taken to accurately describe and measure their average size. The presence and size of particulates will determine the product filler type.
Fill Temperatures
Fill temperatures Affect Viscosity of Liquids. The temperature of filled liquid product is very important to the packaging project, specifically when it comes to the product filler. When heated, most liquid products flow more easily, like hotpot condiment, when it being heated, it becomes much more free-flowing.
When filled liquid has temperature requirements, manufacturer should know it at the beginning, it determines the storage hopper.
