PACRAFT Pre-made pouch packing machines for dry products

This Pacraft pouch packing machine is a rotary system providing core filling and sealing functions with many model options for handling different product types or different pre-made pouch designs.

There are multiple options for additional stations to provide extra filling, sealing or inspection functions. Duplex models offer opportunities to increase outputs and production efficiencies. The versatility of this pouch packer provides an excellent solution to smaller food manufacturers who produce multiple products, packed in a variety of pre-made pouch types. It also makes this machine a smart choice for contract packers who wish to offer a wide variety of pack and product options.

POUCH MACHINE APPLICATIONS

Multiple pre-made pouch types
Pacraft handle a wide range of pre-made pouch types:

• Flat or stand-up pouches including doypacks and flat-bottomed pouches laminated pouches, retortable pouches, stand-up pouches, pouches with press-to-close and zipper, PE pouches.
• Floating gusset pouches with single/ double layer film.
• Pouches with re-sealable closures to extend shelf life such as press-to-close or zippers.

Dry product applications
There are various models with different fill options for many dry food formats:

• Solid products
• Powdered products - free-flowing and non-free-flowing
• Granular products
• Forming the outer packaging for pre-wrapped products like stick packs, tea bags.

Typically, this range of pouch machines pack products from the food, pet food or household chemicals industries. Examples include:

• Powdered foods (e.g. milk powder, coffee, tea, protein powders, herbs and spices, sugar, salt)
• Snackfoods (e.g. dried fruits, nuts)
• Granular foods (eg dry grains, rice, coffee beans)
• Pasta and dry noodles
• Cereals and museli
• Baked goods (e.g. biscuits and cookies)
• Confectionery (e.g. wrapped or unwrapped candy)
• Frozen foods (e.g. berries, mango, dumplings)
• Dry pet foods (e.g. kibble)
• Household chemicals (e.g. soap powders, cleaning agents)

COMPACT POUCH MACHINE DESIGNED FOR VERSATILITY

Modular design for versatile applications
Customised solutions to suit your pouch size and type and the product characteristics of the product to be packed. Add extra stations for additional filling, sealing and product inspection functions.

Production efficiencies
Duplex models maximise production efficiencies with increased output.

Designed for long-life and durability

• Well thought-out machine design for speedy product changeovers.
• All-round machine access for easy cleaning and maintenance.
• Robust construction for durability and long machine life.
• Compact, rotary design to minimise factory floor space requirements.

Sanitary design
Sanitary design to meet food safety regulations.

Fast 10-15 minute changeover
Changeovers can be done easily between pouch sizes in 10-15 minute. Ideal for companies that manufacture multiple products who prefer not to have multiple packing machines, or contract packers.

KEY POUCH FILLING AND SEALING FEATURES

High-precision pouch feeding method
Over many years, Pacraft has developed and refined a highly-efficient pouch loading system. It ensures that only one pouch is collected and fed into the machine at one time, preventing feed congestion:

• A 3-point pouch pick-up design automatically senses and picks up individual pre-made pouches from a conveyor-style pouch feeder and aligns them, ready for opening and filling.
• Conveyors are extendable for large pouches and longer autonomous operation.
• No separate feed tooling, tool adjustments or changeover required for handling different flat or stand-up pouch designs.

Range of diving funnels or nozzles for different bag sizes and product types
A range of diving nozzle designs for different product types ensure fast and efficient pouch filling without spillage or congestions. Custom funnels and nozzles ensure very accurate, repeatable fill volumes for every production run to reduce under/overfill rejects and unnecessary product wastage:

• Different shape and surface designs accommodate a wide range of product formats.
• A product tamping device ensures product is filled well into the bag before sealing.

High seal integrity on pouches
A high quality seal prevents leakage of air or product through capillary channels, maintaining product freshness.

• Pacraft's 2-stage pouch sealing process (Heat+Cool) ensures strong seal integrity.
• A range of flat, ridged or straight-line sealing profiles to suit different pouch materials or designs ensures wrinkle-free, channel-free seals to protect seal integrity.A poorly sealed pouch with wrinkles or channels allows the ingress of moisture or air, affecting product quality and potentially causing pouch leakage.
