How Does the RS-4 Handle Different Liquid Viscosities Accurately?

Unified Flex RS-4 rotary filling machine maintaining accurate liquid filling across different viscosities in a high-speed production environment for medical and pharmaceutical packaging
Switching from thin juices to thick sauces or lotions throws most fillers off balance — drifting weights, product giveaway, and constant tweaks follow. The RS-4 Spouted Pouch Filler & Capper from Unified Flex handles this range with servo-controlled pistons that adjust stroke, speed, and motion to match each liquid’s flow. Four independent filling heads deliver up to 80 pouches per minute while maintaining tight volumetric accuracy for beverages, shampoos, detergents, and even particulate-laden products. Precision rotary indexing, “No Pouch – No Fill” logic, and quick tooling changes keep waste low and OEE high across multiple SKUs on one machine.

How Does the AP-180 Maintain Sterile Packaging at High Speeds?

Unified Flex AP-180 automatic pouch filling machine maintaining sterile integrity while packaging medical devices like syringes at high speed in a cleanroom environment
Sterile barrier failures hit hard in medical device lines — recalls, downtime, and patient risk follow. The AP-180 Auto Pouch Bagger from Unified Flex tackles this with rotatable horizontal seal jaws that maintain even pressure and dwell time across every cycle. Full form-fill-seal automation reduces manual handling and contamination points, while stainless steel contact parts simplify sanitation. Tool-less changeovers and stable PLC control keep seals consistent at up to 40 pouches per minute for syringes, diagnostic kits, IV components, and more. Built for repeatable sterile integrity, not just speed.
