Automated. Precise. Reliable.
Automated. Precise. Reliable.
Zippack Serie | Their flexible and reliable design ensures high process safety and consistent performance.
The Zippack machines can efficiently handle a wide variety of bag types — such as Doypacks, stand-up pouches, side-gusset bags, and flat pouches — in various sizes, with or without zipper closures.
Operating Principle
The Zippack machines operate fully automatically, ensuring a highly precise and efficient packaging process in eight steps:
In the first step the machine automatically picks the pre-made bags from the integrated magazine and aligns them with exact precision. The bags are then opened in a two-stage process.
Next a specially designed lowering chute descends a few centimetres into the opened bag, allowing for precise and controlled product filling. Depending on customer requirements, the Zippack machines can be flexibly combined with various dosing or filling systems. They are fully compatible with all leading brands of multihead weighers, auger fillers, linear weighers, and liquid fillers.
For special applications, our engineers also design custom feeding systems that are not available as standard solutions on the market.
After filling, each bag is securely sealed and then transferred via a rotary table or conveyor belt for further processing or packaging.
Guiding Principle
The concept of our Zippack Series is based on a modular system design. The core models of the series form the central foundation, providing a solid base for a wide range of configurations.
With customizable equipment options, we offer machines that are precisely tailored to the specific applications and requirements of our customers — ensuring reliability, efficiency, and above all, cost-effectiveness.
In principle, our experts supply the machines in their standard configuration, complemented only by those additional components necessary for your packaging process.
However, we recommend taking a look at the options list, which includes numerous special functions designed to further optimize the packaging process.
Areas of Application
Whether for exclusive small batches, niche products, or the entry into mass production – the Zippack Series offers an economical and precise packaging solution.
Developed through many years of experience, our machines stand for reliability, quality, and efficiency.
Proven by the large number of systems that have been operating successfully for years in renowned companies:
The machines of the Zippack Series are well-established solutions, trusted by leading manufacturers in the food, pet food, nutritional supplement, and chemical industries.
Comparison overview
The Zippack Series offers solutions for a wide range of applications. Depending on the packaging size, operating mode, output capacity, and bag type, the machines are divided into four main categories, which are described in more detail below.
Zippack
MB8-200S/SW
The Zippack MB 8-200 is our base model, designed to handle small pouch formats ranging from 90 to 200 mm in width and 90 to 380 mm in length.
In its standard configuration, the machine processes pouch weights of up to 2,000 g, achieving an output of up to 50 pouches per minute.
The operating principle corresponds to the process described above, ensuring precise filling, reliable sealing, and consistent product quality.
Available versions:
Zippack MB8-200S – for dry applications
Zippack MB8-200SW – for wet and dusty applications
Zippack
MB8-300S/SW
This model is designed for medium to large pouch formats, with widths ranging from 150 to 300 mm and lengths from 170 to 420 mm. This model provides a flexible and versatile solution, enabling you to adapt production quickly and efficiently to the most common pouch sizes.
In its standard configuration, the machine handles large-volume products or pouches weighing up to 3,000 g, with an output of up to 50 pouches per minute.
The operating principle is identical to that of the smaller model, offering the same reliability and precision at higher capacity.
Available versions:
Zippack MB8-300S – for dry applications
Zippack MB8-300SW – for wet and dusty applications
Zippack
MB8-140TW/TWW
The Zippack MB 8-140TW represents maximum efficiency and high performance. It is designed for the high-speed filling of small pouches, with formats ranging from 70 to 140 mm in width and 90 to 300 mm in length.
Developed for the cost-effective processing of medium to large production volumes, its duplex operating mode enables almost double the output. In its standard configuration, the machine handles pouch weights of up to 2,000 g, achieving an output of up to 80 pouches per minute.
The operating principle differs from both classic models described previously. Unlike the other models in the Zippack Series, the Duplex MB 8-140TW processes two pouches simultaneously. The system automatically picks two pre-made pouches from the integrated magazine, aligns them precisely, and opens them in a two-stage process. Two lowering chutes then descend accurately into the pouches, allowing for precise and parallel product filling. After filling, the pouches are sealed simultaneously above the zipper and automatically transferred to the conveyor belt for further processing.
Available versions:
Zippack MB8-140TW – for dry applications
Zippack MB8-140TWW – for wet and dusty applications
Zippack
MB8-150M/MW
This model has been especially developed to fill different types of pouches. These typically feature an inner (side) gusset, a block bottom, and a front zipper. The pouch formats range from 100 to 150 mm in width and 100 to 350 mm in length.
In its standard configuration, the machine handles pouch weights of up to 1,500 g, achieving an output of up to 30 pouches per minute.
The operating principle of this model also differs from that of the classic Zippack Doypack machine. Here, the pre-made pouch is likewise automatically picked from the magazine, but the opening and filling preparation follow a different technical process. After the product is accurately transferred through the filling chute, the pouch is sealed, maintaining its original shape.
This pouch style, once filled, provides a user-friendly format for convenient product storage.
