Triangle and JDD Packaging Introduce the Triangle/JDD Rotary Pouch Machine for Automated Pouch Filling and Sealing

CHICAGO – For food packagers and others looking for an automated filling and sealing solution for pre-made pouches, Triangle Package Machinery Company, together with JDD Packaging Ltd., are excited to introduce the Triangle/JDD Rotary Pouch Filler. The Rotary Pouch Filler is designed to fill 3-sided seal, flat pouches and Stand-Up Pouches (SUP) at speeds up to 50 pouches per minute (ppm). The Rotary Pouch Machine is available in two models: Model JRPM-8812 and JRPM-81215.

Depending on the type of product being filled, the Triangle/JDD Rotary Pouch Machine is paired with a Triangle InLine Combination Weigher or other scale or auger to fill product into pouches. The system includes a series of stations to pick, open, fill, and seal the pre-made pouch. Other stations include a horizontal infeed belt to handle all pouch styles and a pouch outfeed conveyor. Standard features also include a pouch shaker to help settle product, as well as a Markem date coder. 

Key features and benefits include:

  • No fill – no seal. If a bag does not open, product will not be dispensed. Bags not filled will pass through the sealing station without sealing, saving product and wasted bags.
  • Clean, open design for ease of sanitation and maintenance.
  • Stainless steel frame (painted cast frame enclosed).
  • Ease of operation.
  • Superior service and support.

Pouch sizes range from a minimum of 4″ wide to 12″ wide, depending on model, while pouch heights range from 4″ to 15″. The rotary pouch filler is suitable for a variety of markets, including granola, snacks, confectionery, dried fruit, and nuts, as well as  powders such as spices, sugars, baking mixes, and more.
