Here Are 7 Signs You Need to Automate Your Packaging Processes

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started” -Mark Twain

Whether you are following in the footsteps of that pharmacist who decided to sell cups of his refreshing syrup at his local drugstore in the late 1800s (The Birth of a refreshing idea: Coca Cola History) or you want to go beyond your parents’ kitchen to build your business (How GT Dave Built his Empire : Entrepreneur), one thing for sure is that you will need to choose your equipment well, specifically your liquid filling solution!

First step, identify your product. Your answer will define the specifications and versatility required of the equipment, as well as the special features that will shape your filling machine.

Second is to define your production rates, and the fill speeds that are necessary to achieve this.  There are many elements to consider when determining the best production rate for you.  A couple of these elements are: The product you are filling; is it easy to fill or it is very foamy or thick?  What is the size or shape of your container, will the size of shape affect how quickly you can fill?

Also, it is necessary to keep in mind the machine quality: Does this machine suit my production needs? Is it capable to handle my production for a long time? The user-friendly design: Is the machine easy to understand? and the easy integration process: Is the machine easy to connect to my existing line, and is it expandable to meet my future filling needs?
