Automatic spout pouch filling machines can save you time and decrease man hours, and make for a cleaner, more consistent product. They allow for faster production rates, better accuracy, and enhanced product integrity. But the caveat is this: despite automation, mistakes do happen. And when they do, they can slow your operations, waste product, and chip away at your profits.
And today, we’re going to deconstruct some of the most common packaging mistakes businesses make when using automatic spout pouch fill machines—and how you can avoid them.
1. The wrong machine for your product
Selecting an automatic spout pouch filler machine that isn’t designed to your unique product requirements can create a domino effect of issues. The most important thing is understanding the viscosity, flow, and packaging specifications of your product. A product like cream or sauce, which is quite thick, requires an industrial-duty pump-mounted machine that can handle the heavy weight of the material and prevent clogging.
Liquid products like juice or water, which are quite thin in consistency, will probably need to have a very precise flow control in order not to spill and achieve the proper fill level.
Another critical aspect is ensuring the pouch form and dimension are suitable for the machine’s needs. Inserting a big pouch into the wrong machine with small pouch capacity means spillage, inconsistent filling, or inappropriate sealing. If sealing device of the machine is incompatible with the pouch material, the product leaks and gets contaminated. This might hurt your brand reputation and means rework.
Selecting the appropriate machine in the beginning results in less process interruption, lower scrap rates, and more stable product quality. That is why it is recommended to take a seat with a wise vendor who is familiar with your industry requirements and standards.
2. Omitting scheduled maintenance
Omitting regular maintenance is an efficiency’s silent killer. Upon use over time, components like pumps, seals, and nozzles get clogged or deteriorate to cause uneven fills or equipment failure. For example, hardened deposits in the product clog nozzles to lead to inaccurate dispensing or spills. Failing seals cause leakage, consuming products and risking contamination of the product.
Having a routine maintenance procedure will prevent all these issues. Cleaning up after each production run, inspecting nozzles and seals for damage, and having regular inspections of moving parts can extend your machine’s lifespan and reduce unscheduled downtime.
Keep a record of maintenance tracking procedures and reminding you when it is time for lubrication, filter replacement, and calibration check. Ongoing maintenance keeps your automatic spout pouch filling machine running at any given time at maximum efficiency, saving you time and money in the long run.
3. Misaligned and improper pouch feeding
Accurate pouch feeding and alignment are crucial for accurate filling and successful sealing. Aligned pouches will produce uneven fill heights, spillage, or incomplete seals that affect your package integrity. If pouches are misaligned or not fed in a straight line at the filling station, the spout may be misplaced, leading to loss of product and rework.
Regular checks can help to do it correctly every time. Always install pouch feeders correctly and maintain guides in good working condition and kept clean. Utilize sensors or alignment systems where applicable to automatically locate and adjust pouch position. Regular examination of the feeding system and right pouch loading properly can be of major benefit to line performance.
Investing in proper operator training for pouch filling and alignment techniques can also have a big effect on preventing these types of errors from occurring.
4. Failing to take into account compatibility with other line equipment
Many packaging lines are made up of numerous machines working in harmony—capping, labeling, cartoning, and more. When the automatic spout pouch filling machine is not in its best harmony with the other systems, it can cause bottlenecks, misaligned labels, or deformed products.
For example, if the filling machine is operated at a speed that is different from the capping station, caps can be applied improperly, and therefore, create leaks or product contamination. This may destroy your brand reputation.
To avoid such issues, it is better to work with suppliers who are aware of your entire production line and can provide or recommend end-to-end solutions. Well-coordinated equipment can minimize mistakes, increase efficiency, and make sure all the pouches are filled, sealed, and labeled appropriately for dispatch.
