Delivered to a European customer, this dietary fiber gel supplement production line turn‑key project integrates complete processes including gel raw‑material emulsification preparation, automatic CIP cleaning, multi‑lane stick‑pack filling and downstream sorting & cartoning. Commissioned and put into commercial production at the end of 2025, the full supplement filling machine line has been running stably for more than 8 months with an output of 100 000 sachets per day. Impressed by its reliable performance, the customer has successively placed repeat orders for a second and a third production line. This serves as a practical reference case demonstrating the high throughput and robustness of our supplement gel emulsifier and complete turn‑key plant solutions.
This custom‑built dietary fiber gel supplement production line for European clients covers the full workflow: powder feeding & conveying, gel emulsification & blending, intermediate product buffering & storage, in‑place cleaning via CIP system, filling on the multi‑lane sachet packaging machine featuring seamless back-sealing technology, and final packaging with the stick pack sorting cartoning machine, forming a complete supplement filling line.
Orders for individual equipment modules were placed in May 2025, including the powder conveying system, supplement gel Emulsifying machine unit with circulation & cleaning skid, Film-sealing multi‑lane stick sachet gel packaging machine, and stick sachet sorting cartoning machine. All machinery completed manufacturing, Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and sea shipment according to agreed delivery milestones. Our field engineers carried out on‑site installation and commissioning in‑house at the customer’s plant by the end of 2025, with the full CIP system connected and validated for mass production.
Expansion challenge: After commissioning of the second production line, the shared raw‑material preparation unit and CIP system serve two independent supplement filling lines. This dual‑line shared operation was not considered in the original design. Our engineering team upgraded PLC programs and control logic to implement this shared architecture and save the customer’s capital investment.
(Non-folded back-sealing technology)
The Seamless Back-Seal multi‑lane stick bag gel packaging machine is a 5‑lane irregular twist‑seal stick‑pack unit. Pouch dimension is 165 × 54 mm with pre‑punched hanging hole. A custom‑sized 80 ml ceramic pump fills 66 g or 75 g gel with filling accuracy of ±0.1 g. Built‑in nitrogen flushing extends shelf‑life. Dedicated CIP ports allow the whole product‑contact zone to connect with the plant‑wide CIP system. Reserved mounting positions are prepared for Videojet laser coders for traceability marking on sachets.
Table: Core Equipment List of Dietary Fiber Gel Supplement Production Line
| Process Module | Equipment Name | Core Function |
|---|---|---|
| Powder Handling | Dust‑free feeding station + vacuum feeder | Automatic feeding & conveying of gel powder ingredients |
| Gel Preparation | Supplement gel emulsifier | Emulsification, homogenization, blending and vacuum de‑aeration for dietary‑fiber gel |
| Hygiene & Sanitation | CIP system | Fully automatic in‑place cleaning for emulsifier tanks, buffer tanks and packaging‑machine piping |
| Filling & Packaging | Sachet packaging machine featuring back-seal technology without edge folding | High‑precision filling, nitrogen flushing and coding for irregular stick‑pack pouches |
| End‑of‑line Packaging | Stick sachet sorting cartoning machine | Automatic stick‑pack sorting, counting, glue‑sealing cartoning and check‑weighing |
Practical challenge solved: Dietary‑fiber gel features variable high viscosity, which imposes high requirements on mixing & dispersion performance of the gel emulsifier, dosing stability of ceramic pumps on the 5‑lane stick sachet packaging machine, and cleaning efficiency of viscous gel residues by the CIP system. Continuous production has proven good formulation compatibility of our equipment.
The second line only comprises filling & packaging sections, without duplicated raw‑material preparation and sanitation units. It shares the existing supplement gel emulsifier raw‑material station and CIP system. One set of CIP system now serves two AB‑seal multi‑lane stick pack gel packaging machine filling lines simultaneously.
Technical challenge: Original PLC software was designed for single‑line independent operation. Shared raw‑material supply and shared CIP system for dual‑line production represented a new requirement. We re‑engineered program logic to implement request queuing for raw‑material supply and mutual‑exclusion scheduling for cleaning cycles to avoid resource conflicts between two lines. The upgraded control system has achieved stable dual‑line collaborative manufacturing. The second line is currently in production.
Most recently, the customer has issued a formal purchase order for the third production line. This third line focuses on raw‑material gel manufacturing and expands base‑gel processing capacity with additional Homogenizing Emulsifier units for large‑scale dietary‑fiber gel base stock production. Starting from the first complete turn‑key dietary fiber gel supplement production line, followed by the second filling‑only line and the third raw‑material‑processing line, three consecutive repeat orders fully validate customer recognition for our equipment’s high throughput, operational stability, hygienic CIP‑ready design and formulation adaptability of the supplement gel emulsifier.
A: A complete dietary fiber gel supplement production line generally includes powder‑handling equipment, a gel emulsification tank for gel blending & homogenization, a fully‑automatic CIP system, an multi‑lane sachet packaging machine for gel sachet filling, and a sachet sorting cartoning machine for downstream cartoning. Together they form a full‑scope supplement filling line turn‑key solution.
A: Yes, it can be realized technically. It requires PLC control‑logic upgrades for cleaning‑task mutual‑exclusion scheduling and raw‑material‑request queuing. This European reference project has proven the practical implementation: one CIP system supports two filling lines and reduces capital expenditure for plant owners.
A: Yes. Custom‑built versions are equipped with dedicated CIP connection ports. Product‑contact chambers and piping can be integrated with the plant‑wide CIP system for in‑place cleaning, well‑suited for food‑grade dietary‑fiber gel and sports‑energy‑gel production.
A: Our custom‑engineered emulsifier combines top wall‑scraping agitation and bottom high‑shear homogenization. It handles high‑viscosity dietary‑fiber gel and sports‑energy gel, and supports vacuum de‑aeration to satisfy technical requirements for nutritional gel manufacturing.
