Pouch and Cartoning Systems for Fruit and Vegetable Packaging

Bartelt provides a wide range of equipment designed to package both dried and canned fruits and vegetables, as well as baby food products. For dried fruits, pouch packaging is ideal for maintaining shelf life and freshness. Reclosable zipper options allow for multiple uses while preserving product quality.

For pureed baby foods, FLtècnics pouching machines offer both rollstock and pre-made pouch capabilities. These machines can produce a variety of pouch formats, including spouted, shaped, stand-up, and zippered, using a single spout applicator for maximum flexibility.

The MAG Series, the BRS Series, and the RPM Series horizontal form fill seal machines provide reliable and efficient pouching solutions for dried fruits and vegetables. These machines fill and seal product on a single system and offer pre-programmed recipe settings for fast and repeatable changeovers.

The MAG Series is designed to produce large, high-quality pouches at high speeds, all on a single system. It supports a wide range of pouch formats and includes advanced features such as quick changeover, an independent seal drive system, and magnetic linear motion-controlled pouch clamps. These capabilities ensure fast transitions between formats and deliver consistent, repeatable performance for high-volume production environments.

One of the standout features of the Bartelt MAG Series is the bag maintenance loop, which allows pouch clamps to be cleaned and maintained without stopping the machine. This is especially beneficial for products with sticky or sugary textures that may cause buildup over time. Combined with the MAG Series FFS's optional IP69-rated filling area, this feature ensures maximum efficiency, cleanliness, and uninterrupted operation.

BRS Series machines deliver precision and speed, producing up to 100 pouches per minute. They are ideal for heavier fill weights and zippered stand-up pouch formats.

RPM Series machines offer rotary turret horizontal form-fill-seal functionality, available in simplex or duplex configurations. Designed for heavier fill weights and larger pouch sizes, they support a wide range of pouch styles and sizes with intermittent motion.

The BIC-L Cartoner is ideal for packaging multipacks of pouches, such as dried fruits or baby food, into hood-style end-panel opening cartons. It features a multi-head rotary carton feeder, a servo-driven product inserter, a servo rotary flap tuckers, and it can reach speeds of up to 60 cycles per minute.
