Billings anchors our Montana coverage, and the work there is food and beverage. For that category the core stack is a weigher over a bagger. A multihead weigher portions free-flowing product by finding the best combination across its heads, a vertical form fill seal bagger forms and seals film below it, and a checkweigher with a metal detector verifies every bag before the case packer. Solid items that need film drawn around them go to a flow wrapper instead, and resealable retail formats move to a pre-made pouch machine. Powdered drink mixes and other free-flowing dry goods can run on auger fillers or stick pack machines when the format calls for a dosed single serving.
A Montana project starts the way every PLAN IT project starts. We talk through the product for free, spec the machine to it, and build. Factory acceptance testing runs on purchased machines before shipment, so the line has already handled your product before it ever reaches Montana. Installation and operator training come with the machine, and parts and service support stays on long after. Engineering works out of Mississauga in the Toronto area, the customer experience center is in Tampa, and the service map between them takes in all of North America.
