Filling Lines

A filling line is the sequence of equipment and processes used to fill empty packaging with product, seal it, and prepare it for distribution. Gualapack filling lines ensure accurate dosing, hygienic handling and consistent sealing of premade spouted pouches.

Pre-made spouted pouches require precise handling of the pouch body, spout and cap interface during filling and sealing. Gualapack filling lines are engineered to fill the pouch through the spout and apply consistent capping conditions.

Flexible packaging filling lines can handle liquids, semi-liquids, pastes, purees, sauces, beverages, dairy products, baby food, cosmetics, personal care products, and certain pharmaceutical liquids, depending on the line configuration and filling technology.

Yes. Gualapack filling lines are designed to handle multiple sizes and formats of spouted pouches. The equipment allows for fast and straightforward changeovers, helping reduce downtime while maintaining consistent filling accuracy and sealing performance across different pouch configurations.

Hygiene is ensured through sanitary equipment design, the use of food-grade components, closed and controlled product pathways, and automated cleaning cycles (CIP) where required. In addition, Gualapack offers pasteurization tunnels that can be integrated downstream of the filling process, enabling effective thermal treatment of filled spouted pouches to enhance product safety, shelf life, and regulatory compliance.

A Gualapack filling line is engineered as a fully integrated system in which pouch geometry, spout and cap design, filling technology and sealing parameters are developed to work together as a single process. This integration ensures precise pouch handling, accurate dosing and reliable sealing performance across production runs. The compact machine layout results in a reduced footprint compared to alternative technologies, optimizing line efficiency and floor space usage. Tooling and format adjustments are designed for simplicity and repeatability, enabling stable operation with minimal setup time and virtually no material or product scrap during normal production.
