The service we provide is unique. In fact, as our clients in the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Arabian Gulf, South and East Asia and Australia will attest, there is...

We also know that many food powders are fragile and expensive with limited shelf life, so we produce machines which are gentle, extremely accurate and can protect the powder from degradation. The thing that really sets Colby apart from the competition however is the size, experience and quality of our impressive team of system designers, project managers, electrical, electronic and mechanical engineers, all of whom are specialists in handling and packaging food powders.

C O L B Y F I L L I N G L I N E S “ T H E A R T I S I N T H E I N T E G R A T I O N ” A truly integrated filling line is far more than a series of machines running in sequence. It is the product of a clear understanding of throughput, accuracy, shelf life and quality standards. The types of powders to be handled, the variety of container sizes and the frequency of product changeover must also be taken into account. Successful filling line design also requires the careful selection of complementary machines and components from all over the world, the provision of buffers to ensure minimum...

C O L B Y F I L L I N G L I N E S “ T H E A R T I S I N T H E I N T E G R A T I O N ” By simply calling up each product and container size, the entire system sets itself to achieve optimum performance. Graphical displays provide real-time information on production, efficiency, average weight and a host of other critical issues. This enables easy, effective operator control. The control system can be linked to other computer systems to transfer management information if desired.

Colby systems for producing flexible packs meet the highest standards of sanitation, accuracy and reliability. Our systems, however, extend well beyond the actual form-fill & seal machines. Colby flexible packing systems cover everything from bulk handling to transportation of...

Colby's inert gassing technology ensures the sachets or stick packs are sealed with low residual oxygen. Controlling the weight of powder packed is important not only to reduce product "give-away," but in the case of one shot stick packs the filled weight controls the amount of product received by the consumer for one serve. Typical stick packs...
