The current trend in the development of modern production is to maximize the safety of products and extend their shelf life in a natural way. Leading manufacturers of packaging equipment and materials for the food industry are responding quickly to these demands with new technical resources to meet the strict hygienic conditions of food production. Automation of the packaging process plays an important role in ensuring the efficiency and productivity of production. In this project, an automated control system for the process of packaging flour products is considered. The article examines the process of decontamination of Flow-Pack packaging in the production of flour products and the operation of the automatic control system were studied, the specification of the production equipment used in the packaging process was given, and without changing the basic functionality of the equipment, a package decontamination module was added, including a controller, a phototag sensor, path sensor, injector. The phototag sensor is necessary to receive a signal about the start of counting the length of the package, the path sensor is necessary to control the length of the package and determine the injection site of the antiseptic mixture.
