New automated packaging line improves PGP International’s flour ingredients
A new automated flour packaging line at PGP International’s Woodland, Calif., plant is making valve bag packing faster, safer and more energy efficient.
The new line features a high-speed filling process that improves the density and deaeration of the flour to give a more compact, “brick shaped” appearance when the valve bags are full. After filling, the bags are ultrasonically sealed in-line to reduce flour leakage, prevent foreign material entering the bag and minimize the risk of infestation throughout the supply chain.
