MG2: technology for the nutraceutical market

Among the different kinds of nutraceutical products, we can find probiotics, vegetal products and sport supplements. Each product is characterized by its peculiarities and, by extension, they feature different critical issues both in dosing and in packaging phases.
MG2 developed different solutions to solve peculiarities of the nutraceutical market by offering both continuous motion machines and intermittent motion machines.

Thanks to its long experience, MG2 has developed specific solutions for each critical issue related to nutraceutical products.

To preserve thermosensitive products, for instance, systems operate by means of devices being suitable to minimize mechanical friction which turns into a considerable reduction of parts in contact with product overheating.

At the same time low humidity, is guaranteed thanks to special devices which introduce dry air in those places where product accumulates, such as feeding hopper and rotary container, but they also release nitrogen where it is necessary to eliminate oxygen in order to prevent oxidation. 


Precise and constant dosing
MG2 machines make it possible to dose under the best conditions both nutraceutical powders and granular product thanks to their continuous rotary motion joined to their volumetric dosator which is MG2 unique know-how.

It is actually the continuous motion which allows the dosator to penetrate the powder layer angularly instead of vertically. This technological system is particularly effective to guarantee both dosing accuracy and constancy, as well as smooth product handling, by always keeping its features unchanged.

Furthermore, MG2’s dosing units  allow to adjust several parameters independently such as the volume of dosing chamber, the height of powder layer and the compression applied during slug picking, to optimize each time their ideal combination according to the nutraceutical product to be dosed.

In case of ingredients that require strong compression, MG2 can also supply intermittent motion machines, namely models AlternA70N and AlterNova, that are based on tamping pin dosing system which performs several repeated filling phases, where the product slug is formed by compression.
