Pouch Loaders Overview

When a food processor moves from processing cans and jars to processing retortable flexible packages, material handling becomes a whole new ballgame. Pouches have a unique "personality." They don't behave like cans or jars. They must be put in lanes and controlled from the time that they are filled and sealed. Pouches cannot handle backpressure.

The Allpax Pouch Loader controls the pouches from the filler, then stages the pouches into the most efficient row / column pattern for consolidation. The pouches are then accurately picked and placed into the receiving tray by a servo driven pick and place head. The trays are then stacked and conveyed to the retort for processing.
