Starch packing presents unique challenges compared to other powders like flour due to the specific characteristics of starch, including its dust generation during processing and slow flow properties. Starch packing machine is an automated solution designed to efficiently pack various dry starch powders, including corn, potato, cassava, wheat, and modified starches. Microtec offers a range of packing machines tailored to meet different packing requirements, ensuring high-quality and reliable packaging solutions.
The process begins with the dry starch powder, which has already been cooled, sifted, and stored in a starch silo. The powder is then discharged from the silo to the packing machine via a vibrating discharge device or air knife valve, both of which ensure a smooth flow into the packing system. The machine typically includes a hopper, weighing system, bagging system, and sealing mechanism, with the option to connect to a dedusting system to manage the dust generated during packing.
The weighing system ensures that the correct amount of starch powder is dispensed into each bag, while the bagging system uses air fluidisation to fill the powder into bags efficiently. The speed of bagging is influenced by factors such as material ratio, fluidity, granularity, and humidity. A vacuum system creates a differential pressure that facilitates the flow of the powder into the bag. The starch powder inlet is equipped with a magnet separator to detect and remove any metallic debris, ensuring the safety and purity of the packed product.
In addition to small bag packing machines, which can handle bags ranging from 5 kg to 50 kg, Microtec also offers big bag packing systems suitable for larger bags ranging from 500 to 1000 kg. These machines are capable of packing starch into various types of bags, including PE and paper bags. Microtec's extensive experience and commitment to high engineering and manufacturing standards ensure the delivery of top-quality starch packing systems that cater to diverse packing needs.
