C O L B Y A R E S P E C I A L I S T S I N : P O W D E R H A N D L I N G A N D P A C K A G I N G S Y S T E M S Colby is dedicated to the design and manufacture of powder handling and packaging systems specific to the requirements of the powdered food industry. 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 nothing like it in the world. Colby is the only supplier capable of meeting the full spectrum of powder filling and packaging requirements saving you the need to search the...

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 M O D I F I E D A T M O S P H E R E P A C K I N G S Y S T E M S The quality of many food powders will deteriorate unless they are packed under a modified atmosphere. Often oxygen must be removed and replaced with an inert gas such as nitrogen to stop the powder oxidising and becoming rancid. In other applications the properties of the powder can be preserved with CO2 and/or N2 rich atmospheres. Colby Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) technology enables us to provide many solutions for our clients’ needs. C O N TA I N E R G A S S I N G Colby Vacuumasters...

B U L K G A S S I N G Large capacity MAP systems are frequently required for bulk IBC/FIBC systems. Colby has the solution: We have completed many installations using our proven vacuum chamber MAP system. This system can use vacuum or gravity to load one or more gas exchange hoppers. The chamber is then evacuated, gassed and discharged to provide large volumes of gassed products; prior to final packaging. C O N T I N U O U S G A S S I N G Modern filling and packing lines are frequently high speed systems that require radical new MAP technologies. Colby has the solution: We can provide...
