Official show information
Relevance to powder and bulk solids processing
Although PACK EXPO is broader than a specialist powder exhibition, it is commercially and technically relevant to companies that dose, fill, bag, convey, inspect or package dry products. Engineers in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, pet food, chemical and consumer-product manufacturing can compare complete line concepts and the interfaces between bulk storage, feeding, weighing, filling, sealing, secondary packaging, palletizing and plant automation.
Useful engineering questions include dry-product line integration, contamination and dust-control considerations, accuracy at the dosing-to-packaging interface, changeover requirements, traceability and the effect of upstream material behavior on package consistency.
