Challenge
Fast, accurate, and reliable packaging
A long-standing customer required a bespoke automated solution to pack and seal tobacco products quickly while ensuring product preservation and consistent quality.
Innovation
Fully integrated pouch packaging system
AIR worked closely with the customer to design a system capable of high-speed, precise operation:
- Automated creation, filling, and sealing of individual pouches
- Integration of two high-accuracy weighers for precise product dosing
- Incorporation of a weight-check metal detector to ensure product safety
- Transfer conveyors to route filled pouches either to a carton packing machine or to a flow wrapping machine
- Track and trace integrated
- EUPTD regulation compliant
Result
High throughput with quality control
AIR’s system successfully feeds the tobacco through a bucket conveyor system into individual pouches, which are then filled, sealed, and routed to the appropriate downstream process. The integration of weighing, metal detection, and transfer ensures consistent product quality while maintaining a production rate of 120 pouches per minute, reducing manual handling and improving overall line efficiency.
