What does a spout pouch filling and capping machine do?
It handles premade pouches that already have a spout, meters the product through that spout, performs the agreed cleaning step where configured, feeds and applies a cap, then discharges the finished pouch.
Should I choose 6, 8 or 12 filling heads?
Choose from the required accepted output, dose range, product behavior, pouch and cap, refill rate, cleaning cycle, format changes and site constraints. The documented 6-head platform covers 30–500 mL, the 8-head reference covers 30–1500 mL, and the 12-head reference covers 30–300 mL with a higher published output at 100 mL.
What products can the series fill?
The source documents describe liquids and medium-viscosity pastes for food, beverage, personal-care and home-care discussions. Final suitability requires review of viscosity, density, temperature, particles, foam, stringing, product-contact compatibility and cleaning.
Can the machine run both center-spout and corner-spout pouches?
The 6- and 12-head documents include separate reference windows for center- and corner-spout pouches; the 8-head document gives a general width and length range. Every SKU still needs drawing review, physical samples and the correct carrier or change parts.
Is CIP and high-pressure rinsing standard?
No. The supplied 6- and 12-head reference configurations include cleaning or rinsing elements, but the final quotation must define circuits, media, flow, drainage, verification and what is included. Do not assume that every series configuration has the same cleaning scope.
How should the published speed figures be used?
Use them only as planning references under their stated fill conditions. Accepted output must be tested with the actual product, pouch, cap, operator basis, replenishment method, rejects and run duration.
What samples are needed before quotation and FAT?
Provide representative product, controlled pouch/spout/cap drawings, physical packaging samples, the SKU matrix, fill targets, cleaning requirements and proposed acceptance checks. Agree FAT quantities and duration before manufacture.
What should the quotation separate?
Separate the base machine, metering path, pouch and cap change parts, cleaning or rinsing scope, coding and inspection, utilities, line interfaces, documentation, FAT, training, service, spares, exclusions and acceptance basis.
