Automatic pouch filling and sealing machines are revolutionizing packaging across industries, delivering high-speed, reliable solutions for products like coffee, snacks, and pharmaceuticals. These machines streamline the process of filling premade pouches with precise quantities and sealing them for shelf-ready presentation, achieving speeds up to 60 pouches per minute. As a leading packaging machinery manufacturer, HIJPACK Machine at https://www.hijcoffeepack.com/ offers advanced packaging machines tailored for diverse applications. This article provides a step-by-step guide to how these machines operate, their key features, and why HIJPACK Machine is the trusted choice for global brands.
Automatic pouch filling and sealing machines transform premade pouches into finished products by filling them with solids, liquids, or powders and sealing them hermetically. Designed for efficiency, these packaging machines support formats like stand-up pouches, flat sachets, and zipper bags, with capacities from 5g to 5kg. HIJPACK Machine’s systems, such as the Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) Machine and Premade Pouch Packing Machine, offer ±0.5g filling accuracy and 99.9% sealing reliability, ideal for high-value products like coffee and protein powders.
Unlike inline layouts, rotary designs dominate due to their compact footprint and ergonomic operation. HIJPACK Machine’s rotary systems feature 6–8 stations, handling single or dual lanes for outputs of 3,000–7,200 pouches per hour. This article focuses on the rotary process, highlighting how packaging machinery ensures precision and quality.
The workflow of packaging machines like HIJPACK Machine’s Premade Pouch Packing Machine follows a precise sequence, optimized for speed and consistency:
The process starts with loading premade pouches into a magazine. HIJPACK Machine’s systems use a servo-driven roller to feed pouches (50–300mm wide) to the rotary unit. For high-volume operations, our optional robotic infeed employs vacuum suction to automate loading, reducing labor by 80% and ensuring consistent shingling. This step supports applications like coffee pouch packaging, minimizing downtime.
Once loaded, pouches are detected by proximity sensors and transferred to stainless steel grippers. These grippers, capable of supporting up to 5kg, hold pouches securely as they rotate through stations. HIJPACK Machine’s packaging machines feature SS304 gripper arms, designed for 20,000+ hours of operation, ensuring stability for heavy fills like pet food.
Optional printing or embossing stations apply date, lot, or QR codes. HIJPACK Machine integrates inkjet printers for high-resolution coding (300 DPI) or thermal embossers for raised seals, meeting traceability requirements in pharmaceuticals and food. This step enhances brand visibility for packaging machinery applications in snack packaging.
To prepare for filling, pouches are opened using vacuum suction pads and air blowers. For zipper pouches, opening jaws ensure full access, while sensors verify correct positioning. If a pouch is misaligned, HIJPACK Machine’s systems skip filling to prevent waste, achieving 98% pouch utilization in coffee capsule packaging.
Filling is tailored to product type:
Solids: Multi-head weighers dispense snacks or pet food with ±1g accuracy.
Powders: Auger fillers, standard in HIJPACK Machine’s VFFS Machines, dose coffee or spices with ±0.5g precision.
Liquids: Nozzle fillers pump sauces or beverages, supporting 10–500ml fills.
Our packaging machines offer gas flushing (nitrogen) to displace oxygen, extending shelf life by 30% for products like cheese. Dust hoods minimize airborne particulates during powder filling, ensuring hygiene.
For loose or bulky products, a settling station vibrates pouches to compact contents, optimizing space and seal quality. HIJPACK Machine’s systems support optional second filling stations for mixed products (e.g., cereal with dried fruit) or load shelves for fills exceeding 5kg, reducing gripper strain.
Deflator plates remove excess air, ensuring tight seals. Heated seal bars (150–200°C) bond pouch layers, creating airtight seams with 99.9% integrity. HIJPACK Machine’s packaging machinery supports biodegradable films like PLA, aligning with sustainability trends in Europe and Asia.
A cooling bar strengthens seals by lowering seam temperatures, ensuring durability for e-commerce shipping. Finished pouches are discharged onto conveyors for downstream processes like checkweighing or cartoning. HIJPACK Machine’s systems achieve outputs of 4,800 pouches per hour, ideal for high-volume snack production.
HIJPACK Machine’s packaging machines are engineered for reliability and versatility:
PLC Control: 10-inch touchscreens enable real-time adjustments, supporting multilingual interfaces for global clients.
Modular Design: Tool-free changeovers reduce setup time by 50%, accommodating pouch sizes from 50–300mm.
Hygiene Standards: SS304 construction and IP65-rated enclosures meet HACCP and GMP requirements for food and pharmaceuticals.
