Story

With their mission to elevate health and wellness, Actus Nutrition knew that every detail mattered in powder handling and packaging. The legacy manual bagging line required four people and led to product loss from inconsistent weight and frequent spillage. Manual palletizing wasn’t just labor-intensive—it caused musculoskeletal injuries for employees and increased the risk of contamination and giveaway, making it difficult to maintain the brand’s high-quality standards.

Seeking a comprehensive upgrade, Actus Nutrition implemented Premier Tech’s BFH Series (formerly BFW Series) bottom-up filler and an RPF-4111 (formerly AR Series) robotic bag palletizer. The new system brought immediate, measurable results: dust and product handling are now fully contained, drastically improving both cleanliness and product safety—critical for demanding clients, especially in infant nutrition. Maintenance time dropped, uptime soared, and accuracy skyrocketed. Bagging speed jumped from 1.5 to 4 bags per minute, and weight deviation (giveaway) fell so much that the new filler paid for itself in less than two years.

The line now runs cleaner than ever before, with less human contact, virtually no dust leakage, and more stable, predictable production. Visibly improved quality—and state-of-the-art equipment—have become powerful selling points when customers tour the facility. For Actus Nutrition, “the best equipment we’ve had in a long time” means better business, safer staff, and satisfied partners around the world.

“We were looking for cleanliness—a filler that didn’t leak powder, and consistency with both the seals and the weights. I can say we got all of those things.”

“I absolutely love the equipment. It’s the best we’ve had in a long time.”
