01
Moisture and caking
Sugar, salt and seasoning granules take up moisture from the air. Damp product cakes, bridges in hoppers and doses unevenly.
What we do · Hopper flow and dosing stability are checked with your product in the test.
Sugar, Salt and Seasoning Packaging Machines
Pack white sugar, salt, MSG, chicken bouillon granules and other granular seasonings in bags or 1–5 kg spouted pouches.
Packages: 1–5 kg spouted pouches, pillow and gusset bags or quad-seal bags
Sugar and Salt Packing Challenges
Six points that decide whether a sugar, salt or seasoning line runs well.
02
Fine, coarse and crystal grades
Fine salt, granulated sugar, MSG crystals and rock sugar differ in size and bulk density, so they do not dose the same way.
What we do · The dosing method is chosen for your grade: cup filler, multihead or linear weigher, or an auger filler for fine, powdery grades.
03
Fines in the seal
Sugar dust and salt fines lift during filling and settle in the seal area or on the spout.
What we do · Every packaging test checks seal quality and product in the seal area, and the spout and cap on spouted pouches.
04
Salt and seasoning residue
Salt and seasoning residue stays on contact surfaces and has to be cleaned off between runs and between products.
What we do · Contact surfaces and cleaning access are reviewed for your product.
05
Heavy 1–5 kg pouches
A 5 kg pouch of sugar or salt takes longer to fill and must be capped tight.
What we do · Wide-Spout fillers fill two pouches at a time and cap them with servo torque control.
06
Sharp crystals and film
Rock sugar and coarse salt have hard, sharp edges that can scratch or puncture thin film.
What we do · The film and the drop into the bag are checked with your product in the test.
Recommended Packaging Route
The same conveying feeds whichever packaging machine your package needs.
- 01
Pendulum Bucket Conveyor
Hygienic or Standard model lifts the product to the filler or doser
- 02
Dosing
Built into the Wide-Spout filler; a cup filler, weigher or auger filler for the baggers
- 03
Packaging Machine
Wide-Spout, SVC260, VP or VGT, chosen by the product and package
- 04
Inspection
Checkweighing and contaminant checks
- 05
Case Packing and Palletizing
Packs into cases, cases onto pallets
Wide-Spout fillers weigh, fill and cap in one machine. The SVC260, VP and VGT take their dose from a separate doser chosen for the product.

Wide-Spout Pouch Filling and Capping
Weighs, fills and caps 1–5 kg in 33 mm angled-spout pouches. Three models: 450–700, 1,000–1,200 and 1,200–1,400 pouches/hour.*
SVC260 Continuous-Motion VFFS
Continuous motion for higher outputs. Bags up to 260 mm wide and 400 mm long, up to 160 bags/min.*
VP Series Compact VFFS
Compact VP baggers for lower outputs. 20–90 bags/min,* film up to 520 mm wide. Works with a cup filler, a multihead or linear weigher, or an auger filler.
VGT Series Quad-Seal VFFS
Front panel up to 300 mm wide, up to 80 bags/min.*
*Machine references. Actual speed depends on product, fill weight, bag size and film. Actual application output depends on product, fill weight, bag dimensions, film, dosing and configuration.
Around the packaging machine
Pendulum Bucket Conveyors
Hygienic and Standard models. 10–20 m³/h and up to 25 m lift, in Z-type and C-type layouts. We check the capacity in kg/h with your bulk density.
Dosing for the Baggers
A cup filler, a multihead or linear weigher, or an auger filler for fine grades, chosen for your product and target weight.
Inspection
Checkweighing, metal detection, combined units, or X-ray where the application calls for it. The method is chosen once the product and package are known.
Case Packing and Palletizing
Robotic case packing and palletizing, integrated around the finished pouch or bag, the case pattern, the case rate and the pallet pattern.
Which Dosing System for the Baggers?
The dosing method depends on the grade and how tight your weight tolerance is.

Compare the dosing systems in detailDefine Sustainable Good Output
A sugar or salt line runs at the pace of its slowest stage. The conveyor is rated in m³/h, so we convert it to kg/h with your bulk density and compare it with what the packing line needs.
Conveyor supplykg/h = m³/h × Bulk densityLine demandkg/h = Good packs per hour × Fill weight
Supply must stay above demand. We set the final line target from product tests and agreed FAT conditions.

Which products can you pack?
White sugar, fine and coarse salt, MSG, chicken bouillon granules and other granular seasonings. Rock sugar and other coarse pieces are packed in bags.
Can sugar and salt go into spouted pouches?
Yes. Wide-Spout fillers weigh, fill and cap 1–5 kg in 33 mm angled-spout pouches. Accuracy / scale division: X(0.5) / 1 g.
Which dosing system should I use on a bagger?
It depends on the grade. A cup filler suits free-flowing sugar and salt with a steady bulk density. A multihead or linear weigher measures weight, which suits coarse crystals, mixed seasoning granules and tight tolerances. Fine, powdery grades are dosed by an auger filler. We test your product and recommend one.
How fast are the Wide-Spout fillers?
The LU-HKG-600PRO fills 450–700 pouches/hour, the SPFC-S8 1,000–1,200 and the SPFC-1200R 1,200–1,400. Actual output depends on the product, pouch, loading mode and configuration.
How are MSG and chicken bouillon granules handled?
Both take up moisture and can cake, and bouillon granules leave fine residue on contact surfaces. We check hopper flow, the weight result and seal quality with your granules, and choose a weigher or cup filler by grain size. Each flavour the line will run is tested, with cleaning between flavours. Fine seasoning powders are covered on Powder Packaging.
Can the caps be sealed?
Foil induction sealing is an option on the SPFC-S8 and SPFC-1200R, together with air evacuation or nitrogen flushing.
