Cocoa powder is produced with different fat contents and alkali portions. Well flowing low-fat types can be filled in a much easier manner than fatty ones, but have a lower bulk density. Fatty cocoa powders have bad flowing characteristics and higher bulk densities. Therefore, only the adequately designed filling technology can reach the requested filling results.  

And exactly this is the point where you as cocoa powder producer are requested to make a careful choice of the filling technology. Our different filling systems allow the optimum packaging of all kinds of cocoa powder into

Valve bags (10 - 50 kg)
open-MOUTH bags (10 - 50 kg)
Big Bags (500 - 1,000 kg)
