Pouching Solutions
The IM Series Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal Poucher, when paired with one or more auger fillers, is ideal for three- or four-side seal pouches (including tandem or stand-up pouches) to package cereal, grains, flour, and similar products. For products with particulates, a volumetric cup filler can be used to add bits of dried fruit, mini marshmallows, etc. Pouches can be filled in simplex or duplex mode.
The K-Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal Pouching Machine features precision in each application that is ideal in this industry. With pre-programmed recipe settings and servo-driven technology, the K-Series allows fast, repeatable, and reliable product and size changeovers. Used for items with heavier weight pouches, the K-Series is reliable and efficient across a range of pouch sizes and styles.
The RPM Series Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal Poucher's rotary turret is ideal for packaging heavier fill weights and larger pouch sizes, while accommodating a variety of pouch styles.
Our high-performance machines are designed to handle products of varying sizes and weights to be packaged quickly, safely, and reliably.
