High-speed pouch filling and sealing system for food and dairy

Achieve precise spouted pouch filling with minimal waste and high efficiency, ideal for liquid formulations requiring stringent hygiene and leak-proof sealing in fast-paced production environments.

Fills and Seals Spouted Pouches for Liquids

Ermetika from IMA Group is a high-speed rotary pouch filling machine designed for food and dairy producers looking to streamline their packaging processes. This equipment excels in efficiently filling and sealing spouted pouches with liquid formulations such as yogurt, cheese sauce, and vitamin-enriched shakes. Utilizing a continuous motion rotary system, Ermetika supports multiple models with varying throughput capacities, from 120 to 480 pouches per minute, accommodating different production scales.

The machine integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, with the “filling through the spout” technology ensuring full pouch capacity and material savings. This system is engineered with a patent-pending leaking test to verify pouch integrity, enhancing product safety and reducing waste. Its fully washable design promotes top hygiene standards, crucial for maintaining the quality of sensitive products like infant formula and aseptic fruit purees.

Ermetika is adaptable, handling a variety of pouch configurations and materials provided by different suppliers, and offers extended and continuous welding times for robust seals. Available in both standard and aseptic versions, it supports stringent industry requirements, offering food and beverage manufacturers a versatile, reliable, and efficient packaging solution.
