Poha Packing Machine

Packing poha requires a specialized approach due to its unique flow characteristics. Being a flaky material, poha is very light in weight and does not flow easily on its own. Conventional volumetric cup filling systems often encounter issues where poha sticks during filling or does not discharge fully, resulting in inconsistent pouch weights.

For poha manufacturers, these packing challenges significantly impact profitability, making it crucial to focus on saving manpower, materials, and electricity.

Standard poha packs range from 200gms to 1kg, and it is important to have a packing machine capable of accommodating both weight ranges in a single machine.

In a poha packing machine, the ability to change weight settings easily and prevent poha from sticking anywhere in the machine is essential. Maintaining weight accuracy while ensuring simplicity of operation is also a key requirement.

Traditionally, poha packing has been done manually in many industries, where a team of 3-5 people fill, weigh, and seal the pouches. However, this approach poses limitations on productivity, compromises hygiene, and results in suboptimal packing quality.

If the net weight packed in each pouch is less than expected, distributors and dealers may raise complaints. To address this issue, manufacturers are often forced to pack higher quantities per pouch. Uncontrolled increase in weight can have a negative impact on profitability and is a significant factor contributing to the high percentage of units that experience losses in their first year of operation.
