Stand-up Pouch Machine for Powders

Pouches (or Doypacks) are earning lots of popularity in the packaging world. Their convenience is particularly appreciated due to lower material consumption, ease of customization, wide room for graphics, ease of transportation, durability, as compared to other types of packaging. Stand up pouches stand on their own and may come with spouts to facilitate pouring.

Universal Pack designs and builds a wide range of custom-built premade pouch packaging machines. Specifically, our horizontal intermittent-motion stand up pouch machines can handle all kinds of powders with micrometric precision thanks to our auger dosing system.

Which dosing systems are suitable for packaging powders?

Auger guarantees our customers to dose dry, dusty and powdery, free- and non free-flowing products with high filling accuracy, according to their needs. At the same time, auger is suitable for any product containing components that make them lumpy and sticky. Therefore, it is possible to micrometrically vary the rotational speed and number of turns of the screws. This action allows fast and simple adjustments of the operational parameters.

Our pouch machines for powders guarantee the most reliable and accurate dosing and the highest production quality. Moreover, our user-friendly and modular pouch machines allow our customers to reduce downtime and fulfill their increasingly high production demands.

Universal Pack pouch machines are suitable for a wide range of doses and packaging styles. For example, we can dose from just few grams up to kilograms of all kinds of powders & granules in a pouch, the dimensions and style of which vary depending on your marketing goals, nature of the products and production requirements.

Universal Pack pouch machines for powders can process all typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene), PET-ALU-PE (polyethene terephthalate – aluminium – polyethene) and cold sealable materials. Our machines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethene), and more on request.

Our non-stop research in reducing the packaging industry carbon footprint resulted in streamlined machinery design for packing recycled, recyclable and compostable laminates. LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is used to measure the environmental impact of our products and identify optimal ways to reduce it. It is a 360° analysis that goes beyond the mere packaging produced and involves every step of the packaging machinery production process. We develop our solutions shoulder-to-shoulder with the main global film suppliers and test them in agreement with major multinational companies in order to provide them with a turnkey solution able to produce eco-packages.
