objective

Reduce product giveaway by improving fill accuracy.
situation

The company was utilizing a vertical form/fill/seal machine with a clutch/brake auger to fill gravy mix into pouches. Inconsistent fill rates had resulted in an unacceptably large number of rejects and an excessively high average unit weight, negatively impacting profitability.
solution

To increase fill accuracy, Spee-Dee converted the customer’s existing All-Fill clutch/brake auger to a servo unit. This cost-effective equipment modification enabled the company to immediately reduce the average pouch weight by nearly 4 grams and decrease the total number of rejected pouches.
bottom line

Dramatically diminishing the average reject rate from 5.0% to 1.6% resulted in an annual packaging material savings of $9,886. By lowering the average pouch target weight by nearly 4 grams, product giveaway was reduced by $19,764 within one year of installation. Break even was achieved in less than six months.
