Colby Form, Fill & Seal Systems
Colby realises that the retail packaging needs of our clients are not limited to cans and other rigid containers, so we have also developed fully integrated filling line systems to produce flexible form, fill and seal retail packs.
Like our can-filling lines, Colby systems for producing flexible packs meet the highest standards of sanitation, accuracy and reliability. Our systems, however, extend well beyond the actual form-fill and seal machines.
Colby flexible packing systems cover everything from bulk handling to transportation of product between every stage in the form, fill and seal process.
We can pre-gas, sieve, blend and gas-flush powders prior to dosing and sealing. After each pack is sealed, its weight is checked to ensure it conforms to the relevant specifications.
The control system constantly monitors pack weight and uses trend control to maintain accurate filling, via a checkweigher. The pack can then be placed into a retail carton or directly into a shipping carton. The shipping carton is then closed, printed and palletised ready for dispatch.
