Filling machines - Sachet filling machines(69)

Sachet filling machines consist in filling with liquid, semi-liquid (sometimes viscous) or powder products a bag that is sealed on 3 or 4 sides depending on the format chosen. The sachet filling machine can be horizontal or vertical. Some machines can handle both liquid products and powder products. When the machine has to deal with powders, the sachet filling machines has a 316L stainless steel hopper, a powder stirrer and a motorized dosing auger for consistent and precise dosing. For liquid products, the dosing unit consists of a stainless steel hopper, a pneumatic rotating valve, a dosing piston and a nozzle with pneumatic closure. In addition to filling and sealing, the sachet filling machines are usually equipped with a marking system. The filled, sealed and marked sachets are then delivered on a motorized outfeed conveyor belt which take them to the cartoner in order to be packed inside cartons. The speed of the sachet filling machines depends on the size of the bags and on the product to be dosed (viscous liquid product, non-sliding powder...).
