High-speed liquid pouch filler

IF SPEED is important in packaging your liquid or paste products, the ZERO 1 machine from Sanko Machinery is one of the options available on the market. This liquid pouch machine is said to run at speeds of over 2,300-2,400 packages per minute, and delivers over twice the output rate of traditional form-fill-seal pouch filling systems without leakers.

The model is made for single use products such as food condiments and salad dressings. It is equipped with a proprietary process in the sealing rolls that makes for convenient packaging of liquids such as oil and vinegar that tend to bubble during the form-fill-seal process. This process provides repeatable and robust seals. Because there are minimal fluctuations of sealing temperature, the ZERO 1 is able to maintain seal integrity at high speeds.

One of the best features of this machine is its fast and easy change over to accommodate different package sizes. Simple operator commands on an LCD touch panel will change package length, filling volume, perforation and cut position.

The ZERO 1 can run registered film, a splice detector, an end of film sensor, a broken film sensor, an I-Notch device, air expelling guide rollers, automatic film tracking, safety interlocks, and a double roller sealing system. Options available on the machine include: CIP, a perforation cutter, saw tooth end cut pattern, a divider of packages by preset number, a film path enclosure, four-side sealing, a system to accumulate packages by preset number, intricate top seal patterns, and clearance adjusting knobs for vertical and second horizontal sealers. A web splice feature that eliminates the need to stop production when changing rolls is an optional feature.
