Pouching & Cartoning Systems for Powder Packaging

Bartelt Packaging provides versatile solutions for a wide variety of powder pouch packaging applications. For high-speed, small pouch styles, the Bartelt IM Series has been the industry leader since its creation in 1949.

The single leading-edge bag clamp design maximizes pouch opening for filling, enabling diverse small-packaging options. With speeds up to 100 cycles per minute, the IM efficiently produces high‑quality pouches filled by auger fillers, and it can also run in tandem to double production speeds. Optional zipper closures support multi‑use packaging. The IM can produce 3‑ and 4‑side seal sachets, stand‑up pouches, bottom‑gusset pouches, and many other configurations for complex applications. For powdered products, Bartelt offers dust‑control features such as filling‑area barriers, chain covers, top‑seal cleaners, and vacuum control.

For larger pouch sizes and heavier fill weights, Bartelt is the North American master distributor of Umbra Packaging's large-format bagging solutions. Umbra specializes in automated filling, sealing, and handling of large bags from 2–20 kg (40–50 lb), with the precision and control needed for powders, granular materials, and dusty products. Their machines deliver dependable throughput and exceptional sealing accuracy.

FLtècnics provides a wide range of solutions to package powders into flat, stand-up, or gusseted flexible pouches to fulfill specific customer requirements. The MC Series high-speed machines feature a servo-driven reel unwinder and film pulling design. They are available in simplex, duplex, triplex, and quadruplex configurations, depending on the required production volume, for both small and large pouch sizes

The FLtècnics carrousel series supports larger pouches that can hold up to 7 liters of product. These systems offer features such as quick changeover, high speeds, and precision performance. This machine is ideal for heavier, club-store-style applications, such as protein powders or large drink mix containers.

For multi-packs of powdered drink mixes, spices, and supplements, the Bartelt BIC-L (formerly IMC) and Bartelt BCC-L (formerly CMC) cartoners are ideal for a wide range of speeds and configurations. Key features of these cartoners include extreme flexibility, precise control, and operating speeds of up to 400 cycles per minute.
