The Evolution of Filling Systems: From Spillage to Efficiency
In an era where 42% of packaging-related production delays stem from inefficient filling systems, valve bag technology has emerged as the linchpin of modern material handling. At VidePak, we’ve spent 17 years perfecting valve mouth designs that balance filling speed with dust containment, creating solutions that reduce fill times by 33% while maintaining 99.9% particle control. Our 568-strong team, averaging 18 years of packaging engineering experience, operates at the intersection of material science and industrial logistics, developing valve systems that outperform industry benchmarks across 12 critical performance metrics.

Valve Mouth Taxonomy: Engineering for Specific Needs
1. Industrial Valve Spectrum
| Valve Type | Application | Fill Rate | Dust Emission | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pinch Bottom | Cement/Lime | 800 kg/h | <5 mg/m³ | Bulk density >1.2 g/cm³ |
| Turret | Fertilizers/Granules | 1,000 kg/h | <3 mg/m³ | Free-flowing particles |
| Paste | Adhesives/Pastes | 600 kg/h | <1 mg/m³ | Viscosity >5,000 cP |
| Pneumatic | Fine Powders/Flour | 1,200 kg/h | <2 mg/m³ | Particle size <50 μm |
Selection Criteria:
- Moisture Sensitivity: Turret valves require <8% RH environments
- Abrasion Resistance: Paste valves withstand 15N impact (ASTM D747)
- Temperature Tolerance: Pneumatic systems operate at -20°C to 60°C
2. Material Science Breakthroughs
- Coating Systems: Dual-layer LDPE/EVOH for 0.005% moisture transmission
- Seam Strength: 4,500N via 8-thread stitching (ISO 13934)
- UV Resistance: 1,200-hour Florida exposure equivalence
Innovation Edge: Our paste valves maintain 98% flow consistency after 24-month storage, exceeding industry standards by 31%.
