Many products use stand-up pouches for packaging, including food and nonfood items. However, many companies that want to set up a new packaging system search for new machinery, believing it to be a more worthwhile purchase than used equipment. What many businesses may not know is that they can save money and receive additional services by purchasing used stand-up pouch machines from a reliable reseller without any reduction in quality.
We carry used equipment from some of the top stand-up pouch machine manufacturers, giving your production line the means to meet your expectations consistently. With a system of used machinery in your facility from a company like High Performance Packaging, you’ll benefit from a production line that gives you the results you want for many years.
What Types of Products Utilize Stand-Up Pouch Machines?
Stand-up pouches provide efficient and customer-friendly packaging for many different products, including foods and many other types of items such as:
- Cereal
- Nuts
- Popcorn
- Candy
- Grains
- Dried fruit
- Fertilizer
- Pet food
- Chips and crackers
- Ready meals
These products use stand-up pouches because of their reliability and ability to save storage space on shelves and racks in stores. There are several kinds of machines that are used for filling products in stand-up pouch bags.
Vertical Form, Fill, and Seal Machinery for Stand-Up Pouches
Vertical form, fill, and seal (VFFS) machines are typically used to fill and seal stand-up pouches, and used equipment is available to install in facilities for pouches of various heights and widths, fulfilling simple or complex orders that require consistent levels of efficiency. VFFS machines can handle custom packaging with unique brands and images. Depending on the needs of the application, VFFS machines are available in various forms including piston fillers, liquid pump fillers, auger fillers, net weight fillers, volumetric cup fillers, and tablet counters.
Checkweighers for Stand-Up Pouches
Another common piece of equipment used in stand-up pouch applications is a checkweigher. The checkweigher makes sure that packages are filled at the accurate levels prior to the final steps of the packaging process.
Packaging Conveyor Systems
Along with VFFS machinery and checkweighers, conveyors are important to include in a packaging system. Many resellers such as High Performance Packaging carry conveyor models with fully programmable settings that make it easy to customize them according to application. Conveyors are available for both bulk product systems and smaller applications, carrying products from one station at custom speed settings.
Purchasing used equipment, including VFFS, checkweighing, and conveying equipment can help businesses remain productive while saving them a lot of money on production line installation.
Added Benefits of Buying Used Machinery
Lowered costs might be the most apparent benefit of purchasing used stand-up pouch machines, but with the right company there won’t be any decrease in quality when installing them in your production line. Reliable resellers have technicians who are trained to identify any potential mechanical issues in new equipment and address them. Once technicians determine that the equipment is in working condition, it’s ready for implementation in production lines. Leading stand-up pouch machine manufacturers use materials in their equipment that makes them ideal for reuse.
Services for Used Packaging Machinery
Another huge benefit you may otherwise miss out on with new packaging machinery is the numerous services that certain companies like High Performance Packaging offer. Packaging services can include pouch machine operator training to make sure your staff are equipped with the knowledge and experience to handle newly implemented machinery, preventative maintenance scheduling, troubleshooting, performance improvement, and OEE programs.
