Contract powder packer has blending expertise

German contract retail pack manufacturer SternMaid demonstrated its expertise in blending powdered foods at the recent Food Ingredients Europe show in Frankfurt. The focus this year was on a new option for filling products into stand-up pouches.

SternMaid offers a range of services, covering everything from the purchase of raw materials, to packaging and delivery.

In order to respond even more flexibly to customer demands, SternMaid invested in a Doypack line last year. This means the co-packer can now fill products like dry beverage bases, superfoods, dietetic drinks in powder form or products for athletes into ready-made stand-up pouches, with or without a zipper, and three- or four-edge seal bags.

For contract blending, the company has three lines for small and medium-size orders between 100 and 10,000kg and four other lines for large quantities over 10t.

Allergen-free foods and other sensitive products can also be processed on a counter-current container blending line in a separate section of the plant.
