Viscous product packaging

Tackling the Challenges of Viscous Liquid Packaging

Many clients face challenges when searching for liquid product packaging solutions, especially for viscous products. The fluidity of these products can vary with temperature changes, making it difficult to maintain consistent flow properties. Additionally, the stickiness of viscous liquids complicates the cleaning process, which is crucial for ensuring hygiene in production facilities. High viscosity also increases waste and costs, reducing the efficiency of manufacturing processes.

For example, packaging water is straightforward compared to packaging a viscous product like chocolate. Viscous liquids present higher resistance to flow, and without special solutions to manage this, the temperature can drop significantly during the process, affecting the product’s quality.

Mentpack’s Solution for Viscous Liquid Packaging

Mentpack offers a comprehensive solution for packaging viscous liquids with our advanced liquid packaging machines. These machines are equipped with a plunger pump filler and food-grade gaskets for precise liquid dosing, driven by servo motors. The machining tolerance of the pump parts is +/- 0.005mm, ensuring high accuracy.

Key Features of Mentpack’s Liquid Packaging Machines:

  1. Double Jacket Tank:
    • Designed to maintain a constant temperature, ensuring optimal fluidity.
    • High-temperature flexibility, capable of reaching up to 90°C.
    • All parts in contact with the product are made from SS316L or food-grade plastics.
  2. Clean in Place (CIP) System:
    • The tank includes a drain valve and CIP system for easy cleaning.
    • Can connect to a central pressurized water system or use the machine’s water tank and pump for thorough cleaning.
  3. Leak Proofing:
    • Equipped with an airtight seal vacuum to prevent air from entering the system.
    • Uses cutting-edge gaskets for enhanced sealing performance.
  4. Filling Accuracy:
    • Achieves a filling accuracy of ±1% nominal and ±2% maximum for products with a viscosity of up to 50,000 cps.
    • Ensures a smooth and efficient packing process, maintaining high hygiene standards.
