Packaging & Processing

Main Content

The packaging and processing industries are vast with applications across many sectors, including food and beverage, powder bulk solids, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, and sustainable packaging. These industries focus on converting raw materials into finished goods that are prepared and packaged for distribution. Each sector has specific standards pertaining to product purity, quality, efficiency, and safety. Eriez’ cutting-edge magnetic separators, metal detectors, and material handling equipment are essential components to prevent product contamination, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect consumers from potential hazards no matter what product is being packaged and processed.

Vibratory Feeding & Conveying 

High-performance, low-maintenance vibratory feeders and conveyors from Eriez safely and efficiently convey both ingredients and finished products throughout the packaging process. Eriez offers high-speed feeders, high-deflection feeders, and horizontal motion conveyors.

Magnetic Separation, Metal Detection, and Material Handling Equipment for Packaging & Processing Industries

Eriez is a global leader in separation and material handling technologies, providing localized sales and support through its 13 subsidiaries to packaging, food processing, and bulk material handling customers worldwide. With more than 80 years of experience, integrating Eriez magnetic separators and metal detectors provides processors with peace of mind that their products remain contaminant-free. Pure and high-quality products protect brands from expensive recalls, which can cause irreversible damage to their reputation. Internally, metal-free products ensure that downstream equipment is protected, ensuring that costly downtime due to damaged equipment is minimized. Any time a production line has to stop is lost time, and, more importantly, lost revenue.

Eriez magnetic separation equipment effectively removes ferrous metal contamination from product flows. Small magnetic separators, such as magnetic plates, grate magnets, tube magnets, and liquid-line trap magnets, are designed to effectively separate dangerous metals, no matter if the product passing through the separator is wet, dry, sticky, or liquid-based. Our extensive sales engineer network provides on-site consultations, recommending the best solution for your unique processing application.

While Eriez magnetic separators are designed to remove ferrous metal contamination, our industrial metal detectors focus on detecting and removing nonferrous, or non-magnetic, metal contaminants from a product flow. Nonferrous contaminants such as aluminum, copper, tin, and other alloys are swiftly and accurately pinpointed and removed. Eriez X8 metal detectors feature a huge easy-to-use touchscreen interface that makes setup, reporting, and configuration simple.

Finally, vibratory feeders and conveyors from Eriez are high-performance, low-maintenance material handling solutions that can effectively transport materials throughout a processing application. When feeding valuable raw materials into a product flow, electromagnetic vibratory feeders can accurately meter additives and ingredients into product flows. Further into the process, vibratory feeders transport semi-finished and packaged materials with ease.
