Spout Pouch Filling Machine HMS160 — Form, Fill, Spout-Weld & Cap in One Line
The INMAYPACK HMS160 is a horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) spout pouch filling machine that makes top-spout doypacks directly from roll film, then fills, welds the spout and caps — running liquids, sauces and pastes up to 1,000 ml at up to 40 pouches/min.
What Is a Spout Pouch Filling Machine?
A spout pouch filling machine is packaging equipment that fills liquid, sauce or paste products into flexible pouches fitted with a plastic pour spout and screw cap. The INMAYPACK HMS160 is a horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) type: it forms top-spout doypacks directly from roll film, fills up to 1,000 ml per pouch, ultrasonically positions and heat-welds the spout, then caps — completing the entire spouted pouch in a single pass at up to 40 pouches per minute. Because pouches are formed from reel film instead of purchased premade bags, HFFS spout pouch lines typically cut packaging material cost by 30–50% compared with premade pouch machines.

Why the HMS160 Leads in Spout Pouch Filling & Capping
Six engineering advantages that turn roll film into finished, capped spout pouches — with fewer operators, lower film cost and tighter seal quality than premade-pouch alternatives.
Automatic Spout Inserting, Welding & Capping
The integrated spout station positions, heat-welds and caps each spout in-line. Paired with the SPF-1 spout feeder (10,000 pcs/h), spouts auto-feed from a 50 L SUS304 hopper — no manual loading, food-safe throughout.
Top-Spout & Corner-Spout Flexibility
Change tooling to run top-spout doypacks, corner-spout pouches or spouted flat bags on one platform. Bag length is adjusted on the touch screen via servo film pulling — no mechanical re-timing between formats.
Form Pouches from Roll Film — Cut Material Cost 30–50%
HFFS forming from reel film eliminates premade-bag purchasing. Servo web correction keeps the film centered automatically; a no-film alarm and photocell registration prevent misprinted or empty cycles.
4-Jaw Sealing + Active Cooling for Leak-Proof Pouches
Four sets of vertical sealing jaws raise seal pressure for flat, cosmetic-grade seams, while dedicated cooling bars set the seal instantly — preventing film shrink-back that causes leakers on liquid products.
Dual-Finger Servo Transport — No Dropped Pouches
Each station grips with two independent pinch-bag fingers on dual-axis linear rails, so pouches never slip or tilt during filling. Key points are auto-lubricated — no daily manual greasing required.
SR60 Servo Rotor Pump — 0–5,000 cPs, CIP-Ready
Pulsation-free servo rotor pumps dose water-thin juices through thick mayonnaise with 316L contact parts and CIP automatic cleaning. Discharge volume is set digitally by rotor revolutions — repeatable to the milliliter.
HFFS vs Premade Pouch vs Semi-Automatic: Which Spout Pouch Machine to Choose?
The three common ways to fill spouted pouches, compared on the factors that actually decide total cost per pouch. Figures are typical industry ranges; HMS160 column reflects verified factory data.
| Decision Factor | HFFS Spout Pouch Machine (HMS160) | Rotary Premade Pouch Machine | Semi-Automatic Spout Filler + Capper |
|---|---|---|---|
| How pouches are supplied | Formed in-line from roll film; spout welded and capped on the machine | Purchased premade spouted pouches, loaded by magazine | Purchased premade spouted pouches, placed by hand |
| Packaging material cost | Project-specific — compare the confirmed roll-film structure, converter price, tooling, startup scrap, labor, changeover loss and accepted output against the quoted premade-pouch route | Highest — each premade spouted pouch carries converter margin | High — same premade pouch cost, plus labor |
| Typical output | Up to 40 pouches/min (≤1,000 ml) | 30–60 pouches/min depending on stations | 5–15 pouches/min, operator-limited |
| Labor required | 1 operator; automatic spout feeding (SPF-1, 10,000 pcs/h) | 1–2 operators for pouch magazine loading | 2–4 operators for placing, filling, capping |
| Changeover | Bag size adjusted on touch screen via servo film pulling; tooling change for spout position | Fast between pouch sizes within gripper range | Minimal machine changeover, everything is manual |
| Upfront investment | Medium-high; pays back through film savings at medium-high volumes | Medium-high | Lowest |
| Best fit | Brands running steady volumes who want the lowest cost per pouch and full in-line spout welding & capping | Frequent SKU changes with short runs on many pouch designs | Startups validating a product below ~500 pouches/day |
Bottom line: if you fill more than roughly 3,000–5,000 spout pouches per day, an HFFS machine like the HMS160 usually delivers the lowest total cost per pouch, because forming from roll film removes the premade-bag premium on every single unit. For short multi-SKU runs, compare with a rotary premade pouch packing machine; for pre-launch validation, start semi-automatic and upgrade later.
What Can the HMS160 Spout Pouch Machine Fill?
From free-flowing juice to 5,000 cPs sauces, one platform packages liquids, pastes and semi-solids into resealable spouted doypacks — the fastest-growing flexible format in food, beverage and personal care.
Juice & Beverages
Fruit juice, coconut water, energy gels — pulsation-free filling keeps foaming and drips under control.
Ketchup & Mayonnaise
High-viscosity condiments dose cleanly through the SR60 rotor pump with 316L contact parts.
Hummus & Purées
Proven line configuration: 100 ml at ~35–40 ppm and 1,000 ml family packs at ~20 ppm.
Jam, Honey & Syrup
Sticky products fill without stringing thanks to controlled cutoff and heated-hopper options.
Baby Food & Yogurt
Food-safe SS304/316L path with CIP cleaning supports dairy and infant purée hygiene standards.
Detergent, Shampoo & Lotion
Refill-pouch economics: spouted doypacks use up to 75% less plastic than rigid bottles.

Spout Pouch Filling Machine — Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers from INMAYPACK's engineering team on the HMS160.
The HMS160 runs up to 40 pouches per minute. Actual output depends on fill volume and product: around 35–40 pouches/min for 100 ml portions and around 20 pouches/min for 1,000 ml family-size spout pouches. Final speed is confirmed during Factory Acceptance Testing with your product and film.
With the SR60 servo rotor pump, the HMS160 handles liquids and pastes from 0 to 5,000 cPs viscosity — juice, purée, hummus, ketchup, mayonnaise, jam, honey, yogurt, baby food, liquid detergent, shampoo and lotion. Product-contact parts are 316L stainless steel and support CIP automatic cleaning.
The HMS160 is a horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machine: it forms doypacks directly from roll film, then fills, welds the spout and caps in one continuous line. Forming from reel film typically reduces packaging material cost by 30–50% compared with buying premade spouted pouches, which matters most at medium and high volumes.
The HMS160 produces top-spout doypacks, corner-spout pouches, zipper doypacks and spouted flat bags from 80×120 mm up to 160×280 mm. The optional SPF-1 spout feeder automatically supplies up to 10,000 spouts per hour from a 50 L stainless steel hopper, and an in-line capping station tightens caps after filling.
Pricing depends on configuration — pouch size range, metering system, spout feeder, mixing tank and conveyor options all affect the final quotation. INMAYPACK provides a detailed engineered proposal based on your product, dose and pouch specification. Projects proceed with an initial deposit, after which we run sample testing and a documented Factory Acceptance Test with your product and film before the balance payment and shipment.
