New equipment energizes Amway’s nutritional packaging

Eight checkweighers and six x-ray systems support canister, stick-pack and pouch packaging lines at Amway’s Nutrilite® facility in Ada, MI.

As the world’s largest direct selling business, Amway is often called the original social network, where success is fueled by the power of relationships. This personal connection also extends between supplier and customer, creating a strong sense of responsibility that drives both to maintain stringent high standards of product quality. One example of this dedication is the decision by Amway to install equipment from Mettler-Toledo’s Product Inspection Group at its advanced food manufacturing facility responsible for Nutrilite® nutritional powdered products, including its top-selling All Plant Protein Powder.

“Nutrilite has been a leader in plant-based dietary supplements for 80 years, with a global reputation for high quality products that are safe and effective,” says Scot Morrell, Global Engineer at Amway. “Our manufacturing systems meet stringent quality and performance standards to safeguard the trust Amway business owners and their customers have in Nutrilite® products. The technology and systems from Metter-Toledo have performed at a level that has earned our confidence.”

Previously, this facility used two Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed XE2 checkweighers and one Safeline SideChek x-ray system on their canister packaging line. Metal detectors and other checkweighers supported two stick-pack lines and three pouch lines. “The success of that first Safeline x-ray system drove the decision to buy five more,” says Brooke Ondersma, Quality Assurance Engineer at Amway. Now eight Hi-Speed checkweighers and six Safeline x-ray systems help inspect canisters and bulk stick packs on six packaging lines as well as cartons of stick packs and pouches, depending on the line.
