Packing haldi (turmeric) powder starts with measuring bulk behaviour on your floor, not copying another factory’s HMI recipe. For Haldi Powder, plan around 0.45–0.60 g/ml bulk density and 3–6% curcuminoid oils as the primary materials variables. Recommended metering is auger with stain-resistant surfaces (fill code AUGER). YugMach publishes configuration prices from Mathura so buyers get price transparency before GST; final figures still follow pouch size, film, and options. On haldi powder lines, seal development usually begins near 140–170°C with dwell in the 0.4–1.0 s band, then moves after peel tests on your laminate lot. Gas or barrier target context is light + oxygen barrier. Typical films include Metallised laminate, PET/PE, Light-barrier spice film. Pouch bands commonly cover 50g–100g, 200g–250g, 500g–1kg. Planning throughput sits near 1,200–2,400 when product, film, and changeovers cooperate. Critical failure modes unique to haldi (turmeric) powder: intense yellow staining; light-fade of colour; humid sticky fines; auger hang-up; opaque film needs. Design SOPs and spare kits around those five, not around generic ‘packing machine maintenance’ checklists. Keep free-fall near 350 mm or lower when fracture or dust generation is a risk for this SKU family. Where gas flushing applies to haldi (turmeric) powder, a practical starting purge is about 0.3 L per cycle, then trim using residual oxygen or sensory shelf tests. Do not chase brochure speeds while residual oxygen drifts above the claim window — rancid returns cost more than a slower jaw cycle. Weight control economics for haldi powder: about 2 g average giveaway at 2,000 packs/hour wastes 4 kg/hour of product. Multiply by your factory cost per kilogram to size the payback for better tooling, more heads, or closed-loop checkweighing. Calibrate weekly with certified test weights and after any collision on the filler frame. Mechanical envelope: expect on the order of 3.8 kW class connected load depending on servos and heaters, and roughly 6 bar clean dry air if actuation is pneumatic. Film path width planning around 135 mm face/web context is a common starting point for mid retail SKUs, but collar selection must match the actual formed cross-section. Wrong collars score film, wander longitudinal seals, and create scrap that looks like a temperature problem. Haldi stains everything; plan washable floors, sealed electrics, and operator smocks that do not recontaminate plain spice lines. Light fades colour — opaque metallised films protect the curcuminoid appearance customers equate with strength. Humid fines stick in polished flights; bridge-breakers and slightly warmer packing rooms (without overdrying) reduce rat-holes. 1 kg institutional packs need stronger laminates and careful bottom seal cooling under product weight. Never share an uncleaned auger from chilli masala into haldi; red tint in turmeric packs is an instant quality reject. Housekeeping for haldi (turmeric) powder must match chemistry: wipe intervals, extractor filter changes, and elastomer replacement differ from a dry rice demo line. Never hose electrical cabinets. Dry contact parts fully after wet cleaning before restart. Document screw RPM or weigher combination limits, seal temperature, and flush settings on a laminated card at the machine for each haldi powder SKU. Factory acceptance should include at least three steady hours on the hardest haldi powder SKU with agreed scrap and weight or count tolerances. Record film lot, ambient °C, and RH — monsoon air in North India changes powder flow and snack oil feel. Train two operators and one fitter before sign-off; demand drawings, pneumatic diagrams, and password policy with the machine. Spare parts with lead time risk for haldi powder lines include sealing jaws or Teflon, forming collars for each width, and filler-specific wear parts (auger flights, cups, weigher buckets, linear pans, wrap belts, or count sensors as applicable). Buying the cheapest film that ‘almost seals’ at 140–170°C usually raises scrap more than the reel savings. Commercial comparison: use published prices for price transparency, then insist on trials with your haldi (turmeric) powder and your film. Numbers that decide the purchase are density, 3–6% curcuminoid oils, peel strength, giveaway or reject rate, and sustained packs per minute — not marketing adjectives. GST is extra on published tags; nitrogen, extra heads, and special MOC change the final configuration cost. For haldi powder, revisit film COF if packs slip on inclined outfeeds; a 0.05 COF shift from a new reel lot can raise fall-over scrap without any machine fault. Operators packing haldi (turmeric) powder should know the abort sequence for film break and hopper empty — untrained clears are a top source of bent jaws and cut fingers. Keep a scrap Pareto for haldi powder with categories for seal, weight/count, and print; fund fixes for the tallest bar first. When ambient RH jumps 15–20 points, re-check the first 50 packs of haldi (turmeric) powder before releasing the shift’s production. Align purchasing of film and spare collars for haldi powder so a width change does not strand the line waiting for tooling. For haldi powder, revisit film COF if packs slip on inclined outfeeds; a 0.05 COF shift from a new reel lot can raise fall-over scrap without any machine fault. Haldi packing halls should isolate from mehandi and chilli lines; yellow-green and yellow-red cross stains destroy brand trust. Curcuminoid colour claims on packs imply opaque film — transparent windows fight the product. If you mill in-house, delay packing until powder cools; warm haldi cakes in the auger throat and creates cyclic underweights.
