A stand-up pouch filling and sealing machine automates the process of packaging products into flexible, self-standing pouches. These machines are widely used in beverages, nutraceuticals, and household products due to their efficiency and versatility.
Key Components and Process
Pouch Loading
Pre-made stand-up pouches are manually placed or automatically fed into the machine’s magazine. The system then picks and positions each pouch for the next steps.
Pouch Opening
The machine uses vacuum suction cups and, in some cases, mechanical grippers to open the pouches, ensuring proper alignment for filling.
Filling
The product whether liquid, powder, or solid is dispensed into the pouch using a filling system suited to the product type, such as:
- Auger fillers for powders
- Liquid pumps for beverages and sauces
- Volumetric fillers for granules and dry goods
Sealing
After filling, the machine heat-seals the top of the pouch, ensuring product freshness and contamination prevention.
Discharge
The sealed pouches are then discharged, and ready for labeling, storage, or distribution.
