Packaging system for producing pouches comprising a water-soluble foil and a powder

The packaging system for producing pouches comprising a water-soluble foil and a powder, the packaging system comprising:

• multiple moulds, each mould having a mould cavity for forming a compartment in the foil, and
• a mould conveyor configured to move the moulds in a conveying direction along a mould trajectory, such as an endless mould trajectory, and wherein the moulds are moved along:
• a foil supplying device configured to position the foil on the moulds,
• a compartment forming device configured to position parts of the foil in the mould cavities to form the compartments in the foil,
• a powder filling device comprising multiple powder dispensers configured to fill the compartments with the powder, and wherein
• the powder filling device comprises a powder supply for supplying the powder to a powder distribution unit which distributes the powder over multiple powder channels which are in fluid communication with the powder dispensers,
• the powder distribution unit comprises a powder distributor comprising a distributor discharging opening which is positioned along a distribution path,
• each powder channel comprises a channel receiving opening,
• the channel receiving openings are positioned along the distribution path and directed towards the distributor discharging opening to receive powder discharged from the distributor discharging opening, and
• the packaging system comprises a distribution drive configured to move the distributor discharging opening and the channel receiving openings relative to each other with a cyclical movement along the distribution path to supply powder from the powder distributor to the powder channels such that the distributor discharging opening passes each of the channel receiving openings at a constant speed during said cyclical movement of the distributor discharging opening and the channel receiving openings relative to each other.
