Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

Dosing

You can make emulsions by combining two immiscible liquids (oil and water, for example) in a suspension through the use of force. The use of emulsifiers is necessary to keep this mixture stable and permanent.

Emulsions

Increasing numbers of products in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries are delivered in flexible tubes, bottles or dispensers. Automated tube filling machines improve production efficiency by accurately filling, sealing and capping a range of tube-based packaging with minimal operator intervention. For smaller-scale production environments, large filling machinery is impractical and expensive.


<h2>Automatic tube filler for small scale production</h2>
The FP-10 from IWK is a next-generation tube filling machine that operates at lower speeds, most suited for small scale production. It features 10 workstations that can handle tubes from 10 to 52mm diameter and can accurately dose from between 1.5 ml and 300 ml of product at up to 70 tubes per minute.

The FP-10 has been designed to allow for rapid product changeover, and all components can be switched out in a little as 15 minutes, keeping downtime to a minimum.

The FP-10 benefits from the latest servo technology, giving the machine extremely high reliability and minimum maintenance.

Able to fill metal or plastic containers, the FP-10 can perfectly contour seal plastics with hot air and offers double, triple or saddle folding for metal tubes to meet your exact requirements.

Suitable for use with a wide range of products, the FP-10 can fill and close cylindrical (with EURO-hole, curved seal) oval or conical tubes, dispensers (including inserting of pistons), mascara brushes, cartouches, jars, and tottles (with capping).

Low speed tube filler

For scale-up filling of tube packaging for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food products, a medium-speed automatic tube filler is required that meets increased demands of speed and volume with high levels of accuracy and minimum downtime. The ability to handle a wide variety of packaging types, and to cap and seal in different ways means additional flexibility that results in increased efficiency.


<h2>Scale-up tube filler for increased efficiency at higher volumes</h2>
The IWK FP Series is a latest-generation modular filling and sealing machine for tube-based containers. Designed with reliability, ease of use and performance as a priority, the FP Series uses the latest servo technology throughout to provide industry-leading levels of reliability.

The range features 18 to 64 workstations that can handle tubes from 10 to 63mm diameter and can accurately dose from between 1.5 ml and 700 ml of product at up to 300 tubes per minute.

The modular design of the FP Series allows it to be configured to your exact requirements, both in terms of operations and functions and floor layout. 5 servo drives (with an additional 4 as options) are at the heart of the oval transport system and offer high level of accuracy together with a robustness that keeps maintenance and downtime to a minimum.

The FP Series is available with a large range of options that means it can be tailored to your exact requirements. Options include tube feeding systems, in-line checkweighing, frequency welding, droplet dosing and many more.

Multi-colour tube filling is available and features the IWK patented swing-out quick change system for rapid changeover. Multi-colour fill types include sandwich, deep stripe, surface stripes and core striping.

The newly designed HMI features a 15” touchscreen control with graphical status reporting and diagnostics, and is fully 21CFR part 11 compliant for auditing and reporting.

Medium speed tube filler and sealer

When scaling up production of pharmaceutical, food or cosmetic products that use tube containers, increasing speed and throughput without compromising on accuracy and quality are vital. Tube fillers need to be able to handle a wide range of packaging types and allow for rapid changeover to benefit from their flexibility and speed.


<h2>Small footprint, GMP-design medium to high speed tube filler</h2>
The IWK TFS-E Series benefits from a range of innovations that result in a robust, easy-to-use and maintenance-free tube filling solution for medium scale production.

The TFS-E Series features 20 workstations that can handle tubes from 11 to 52mm diameter and can accurately dose from between 1 ml and 350 ml of product at up to 220 tubes per minute.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the TFS-E features a format change over time of less than 25 minutes, and storing and recalling all relevant process parameters to guarantee a vertical start up. All product-contacting parts are swapped out “en bloc” which gives the maximum efficiency whilst allowing for a range of product. The patented IWK dosing system is supremely accurate but also simple to maintain, thanks to Clean in Place in under 5 minutes.

Able to fill metal or plastic containers, the TFS-E Series can accurately contour seal plastics, and offer a choice of double, triple or saddle folding for metal tubes to meet your needs.

Suitable for use with a wide range of products, the TFS-E Series can fill and close cylindrical (with EURO-hole, curved seal) oval or conical tubes, dispensers (including inserting of pistons), mascara brushes, cartouches, jars, and tottles (with capping).

A wide range of options enables the TFS-E Series to be specified exactly to your requirements. Options include multi-colour filling, tube de-dusting, in-line checkweighing, automatic central lubrication system, and many more.

Medium and high speed range automatic tube filler

For high-volume lines filling pharmaceutical, cosmetic or food products into tube containers, high speed and throughput must not come at the compromise of fill accuracy and sealing quality. High performance tube filling machines successfully match performance with quality, using a range of technological advances to ensure the maximum efficiency and rapid ROI.


<h2>World’s fastest high efficiency tube filler with advanced features</h2>
The TFS-80 Series from IWK is a high-performance, next-generation tube filling machine that is most suited for large scale production environments. It features up to 24  workstations that can handle tubes from 22 to 40mm in diameter and can accurately dose from between 2 ml and 220 ml of product at up to 750 tubes per minute.

The TFS-80 Series is officially the world's fastest tube filler, and yet it’s new weight checking and quality control system guarantees accuracy, reducing tube overfilling significantly. By using a clever modular design, workstations can be retrofitted with ease for maximum flexibility and future expansion, making development of new packaging or product types simple.

Because it operates with such high performance, the TFS-80 Series has been engineered for reliability and efficiency. Many traditional mechanical actions have been rendered obsolete by the use of servo technology throughout. State of the art bearings with central lubrication system allow for long service intervals, reducing maintenance costs. 

For greatly reduced downtime caused by product changes, fast exchange systems are employed. New motion parameters are automatically set via servo drives in case of product changes. The touch screen panel HMI makes these operations quick and easy, as well as allowing simple monitoring of the machine in use. Internet access allows remote diagnostics, further reducing any downtime.

Despite the high performance of the TFS-80 Series, it’s been designed to occupy as compact a form-factor as possible, providing maximum flexibility when it comes to your own installation.

For all the bad rep that it gets, palm oil still makes up around 40% of the global vegetable oil supply, according to <a href="https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/8-things-know-about-palm-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-attribute-index="0" data-entity-hovercard-id="urn:li:fs_miniCompany:805644" data-entity-type="MINI_COMPANY">WWF</a> estimates.

Alternative oils pose fewer risks to biodiversity and carbon release, but producing them is not as efficient. This puts the food manufacturing industry in a sticky situation.

But one company picked up this challenge. Its ultimate mission is clear from the name: <a href="https://www.nopalm-ingredients.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-attribute-index="2" data-entity-hovercard-id="urn:li:fs_miniCompany:73236339" data-entity-type="MINI_COMPANY">NoPalm Ingredients</a>.



Using a special yeast, the team developed a process to convert sugars and organic acids in virtually any kind of biomass into microbial oil.

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAACUhMNEBMChbVERGkwwFhucNTiIbouuX9lg" data-attribute-index="6" data-entity-hovercard-id="urn:li:fs_miniProfile:ACoAACUhMNEBMChbVERGkwwFhucNTiIbouuX9lg" data-entity-type="MINI_PROFILE">Jochem de Vries</a> showed us a range of samples made from fermented grains.

The new, food-grade ingredient is ready to replace palm oil (or any other tropical oil).

NoPalm Ingredients typically works with sidestreams like potato peels or discarded vegetables, circulating the same waste material that producers generate.

Thanks to Jochem and the rest of the team, that 40% share of the vegetable oil supply will quickly evaporate. And tropical forests can flourish

#Changemaker: Stop facepalming at palm oil, start using fermented alternatives
