Migrand Machinery Turnkey Gel Nutraceutical Line: 8+ Months of Stable Production at 100,000 Sachets/Day – Customer Orders Second Line

Since its commissioning in late 2025, the fully automated gel nutraceutical production line delivered by Migrand machinery to a Slovenian client has been operating continuously for over eight months, consistently achieving a daily output of 100,000 sachets. The system has proven its reliability under sustained high-volume production — and the client has now placed an order for a second production line.

The video below shows the system in full operation at the customer's facility, demonstrating the smooth integration Starting from Gel Processing through to final cartoning.

Proven Performance Under High-Volume Production

The line has passed the test of 8+ months of continuous operation at 100,000 sachets/day, with minimal downtime and consistent output quality. The client's production team has expressed strong satisfaction with the system's reliability, filling accuracy, and overall line coordination.

Key performance metrics:

• Daily capacity: 100,000 sachets

• Operational track record: 8+ months at full load

• Filling accuracy: ±0.1 g (ceramic piston pump system)

• Line integration: Powder conveying → emulsifying → sachet filling → cartoning

The Challenge: Expanding from One Line to Two — Shared Utilities

Based on the proven performance of the first line, the client ordered a second production line — but with a critical design difference: the second line must share the same raw material preparation system and CIP (Clean-in-Place) skid as the first line.

This requirement was not part of the original design scope. Implementing shared utilities between two independent filling lines demanded:

• PLC program expansion and re-architecture to coordinate two filling lines from a single control framework

• CIP logic extension to sequence cleaning cycles for two lines without interrupting production

• Process integration to ensure consistent raw material supply to both lines simultaneously

Our engineering team successfully delivered the solution through deep optimization of the existing Siemens PLC code and control architecture. The shared-utility model is now operational, enabling flexible co-production between the two lines.

Technical note: The second line is currently in manufacturing. Even before its delivery, the client has already begun planning the third line, with engineering drawings now in progress.

Why the Client Chose to Expand

The decision to order a second — and plan a third — line reflects the client's confidence in:

System Overview: Key Equipment in the Line

1. Powder Conveying System

• 800‑series dust‑free feeding station and ZKS‑10 flexible‑hose vacuum feeder

• Product‑contact parts in SUS316 stainless steel

• Handles sticky powders: maltodextrin, fructose, glucose (density 400–600 g/L)

2. Emulsification & Buffer Tank System

• 1,000 L, 3‑layer electrically heated vertical emulsifying tank (SUS316L)

• Side‑scraping, dispersing, and bottom homogenizing functions

• Two 1,000 L buffer tanks; CIP system; 2,000 L recovery tanks

• Mettler‑Toledo weighing modules and Siemens PLC control

3. Sachet Filling Machine (5‑lane)

• Mitsubishi servo drives and ceramic piston pumps – ±0.1 g accuracy

• Nitrogen flushing for product protection

• CIP‑ready interfaces; irregular sachet format with line sealing

4. Automatic Cartoner

• Seamless integration with sachet line; collates 10 or 20 sachets per carton with dividers

• Integrated Videojet coding and laser marking systems

• Checkweigher and full safety guarding with door‑interlock

What's Next

While the second line is in manufacturing, the client has already initiated planning for a third line — a clear signal of their long‑term commitment to this partnership.
