Packing sooji/rawa (semolina) starts with measuring bulk behaviour on your floor, not copying another factory’s HMI recipe. For Sooji / Rawa, plan around 0.65–0.80 g/ml bulk density and 1–2% as the primary materials variables. Recommended metering is auger (cups for narrow grades) (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 sooji / rawa lines, seal development usually begins near 120–150°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 moisture + insect barrier. Typical films include BOPP/PE, LDPE laminate, Printed poly. Pouch bands commonly cover 500g, 1kg, 5kg. Planning throughput sits near 600–1,800 when product, film, and changeovers cooperate. Critical failure modes unique to sooji/rawa (semolina): abrasive granules; weevil risk; 1–5 kg seal stress; flour dust; RH control. Design SOPs and spare kits around those five, not around generic ‘packing machine maintenance’ checklists. Keep free-fall near 450 mm or lower when fracture or dust generation is a risk for this SKU family. Gas flushing is usually secondary or irrelevant for sooji/rawa (semolina); moisture, alkalinity, count accuracy, or wrap integrity dominate instead. Spend engineering time on WVTR, corrosion resistance, and seal cleanliness rather than nitrogen plumbing you will never use. Weight control economics for sooji / rawa: about 4 g average giveaway at 2,000 packs/hour wastes 8 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 4.5 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 220 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. Sooji/rawa is abrasive at 0.65–0.80 g/ml; expect flight and cup wear and plan micrometer checks. Weevil and moisture risk make seal integrity and film barrier part of food safety, not only presentation. 1 kg and 5 kg pouches stress bottom seals — cool before outfeed and validate drop tests. Flour-like fines need extraction; open packing rooms invite complaints and pest issues. Cups suit narrow grades; augers handle mixed semolina better when PSD widens after mill changes. Housekeeping for sooji/rawa (semolina) 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 sooji / rawa SKU. Factory acceptance should include at least three steady hours on the hardest sooji / rawa 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 sooji / rawa 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 120–150°C usually raises scrap more than the reel savings. Commercial comparison: use published prices for price transparency, then insist on trials with your sooji/rawa (semolina) and your film. Numbers that decide the purchase are density, 1–2%, 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 sooji / rawa, 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 sooji/rawa (semolina) 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 sooji / rawa 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 sooji/rawa (semolina) before releasing the shift’s production. Align purchasing of film and spare collars for sooji / rawa so a width change does not strand the line waiting for tooling. For sooji / rawa, 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 sooji/rawa (semolina) should know the abort sequence for film break and hopper empty — untrained clears are a top source of bent jaws and cut fingers. Sooji packed in coastal warehouses needs stronger insect evidence trails — pheromone traps near packing and finished goods. 5 kg pouches for catering should use films with adequate dart impact strength; thin laminates puncture on pallet edges. Recalibrate after monsoon because moisture changes bulk density even in ‘dry’ semolina.
