The Challenge: automating powder filling into tubs and jars

Previously, product packaging was carried out mostly by hand. The goal was to find a solution that would automate dosing, filling, sealing, and labeling while integrating smoothly into the existing production environment.

 

 

 

 

In addition, constraints related to ceiling height and the requirement to supply the system using bulk bags (big bags) had to be taken into account. We therefore adapted the station's design so that its support column extends into the space of a roof skylight. This made it possible to install the technology without raising the height of the hall or changing its layout. The line also had to be designed to allow for future expansion without the need for extensive structural modifications.

With the LUNA-T line, a smooth packaging process was created — from raw material to a finished, labeled product

Due to the limited ceiling height, the big-bag station was individually adapted to the building's construction conditions and integrated into an elevated section of the roof.

 


How we reduced dust during filling

When designing the line, the dustiness of the packaged products had to be taken into account. For this reason, the entire line was enclosed, and extraction points connected to a central ventilation system with controlled airflow were installed at points where dust is generated. The filling heads dip into the container during filling so that the powder does not fall from a great height and disperses less.


Customer Testimonial
"Together with Nomatech, we managed to implement a packaging line that significantly simplified our production processes and substantially increased output compared to the previous manual process. What impressed us most was the customer-oriented collaboration, the pragmatic approach, and the fast support for questions or adjustments. The equipment operates reliably in daily operation, and its servicing is handled by our own team."
Diether Wieden, Head of IT & BPM, claro products GmbH

From Product and Space to Line Design

Every operation has different requirements for output, space, and level of automation. That's why we design lines individually, based on the specific product, packaging, and production process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS | FAQ

  • What batch sizes can the LUNA-T line fill?
    A single line can package various powder products into tubes and jars in batches ranging from 100 g to 1 kg — the exact range always depends on the product type and the multihead weigher selected.
  • What checks does the line perform on the finished product?
    Standard features include check-weighing and metal contamination detection on every packaged unit (100% inspection), along with product labeling or printing. Additional inspection equipment can be added based on customer requirements.
  • Can the LUNA-T filling line later be expanded with cartoning and palletizing?
    Yes. The filling and closing section can be designed so that automatic case packing (CASE series) and robotic palletizing (ROBO PAL) can be added later without major modifications — automation doesn't need to be implemented all at once.
  • What is required for an initial assessment of the line design?
    You don't need a finished complete technical specification. It helps to know the product's properties (e.g., dustiness, behavior during dosing), the required packaging and weights, the expected line output, the supply method, the required inspections and labelling, any connection to cartoning/palletizing, and the spatial conditions of the installation. For an estimate of return on investment, it's also useful to know the current packaging method — number of people, number of shifts, and current bottlenecks.
  • How does the production line address the low ceiling height in the customer’s production hall?
    Lines are always designed around the specific facility; this implementation shows one concrete example of a solution — placing the big-bag station in a roof skylight. Not every space has such a skylight, so each project is assessed individually.
  • Can the line handle products other than powders?
    Yes — LUNA filling lines can package free-flowing, liquid, and small piece-goods products; the key is equipping the line with a suitable dosing system.
