Italy-based packaging machinery manufacturer Sacmi, which is represented in Oceania by HBM Packaging Technologies, has a new BIB and Pouch Filler.
The filler has Ultra-Clean Filling Valves capable of handling Stand-up Pouch and Bag-in-box formats of between 1.5L and 25L.
The machine is compact, productive, and offers nitrogen injection and steam sterilisation along with contamination and product leakage prevention ensures oxygen absorption of less than 0.4 PPM and a filling precision of 0.3 per cent.
The filler offers a solution for wine, beverages, dairy, syrups, edible oils and detergents in either package format.
Stand-up pouches are made from films which have excellent oxygen barrier properties to preserve the liquid inside and protect the content from the external environment.
The product inside the pouches is dispensed through a plastic non-return valve, preventing air entering the packaging during dispensing.
The pouch/ valve system works together to prolong the shelf life before and after the pack is opened. Pouches are unbreakable, lightweight, and have a low carbon footprint compared to glass and PET bottle packaging.
