-Horizontal Premade Pouch Packing Machine & Rotary Premade Pouch Packing Machine
With the development of time and a rich historical background, a new model of premade pouch packaging machine has been developed. Structurally, it stands upright, forms opens, and then fills and seals. However, with continuous innovation in packaging machines, two new models have been developed: the horizontal premade pouch packing machine and the rotary packing machine. What are their similarities and differences? By reading this article carefully, you will gain a lot of knowledge and understand which one might be suitable for packaging your own products.
The Main Structure is Different
First, from the perspective of understanding the words, you can interpret “rotary” as meaning rotating and “horizontal” as meaning level. Next, let’s take a direct look at their structures. Below are their working principle diagrams.

It’s not hard to see that their working stations have different shapes, which is their main difference. You will find that the horizontal premade pouch packing machine has easily observable stations for the feeding method, generally divided into three stations: bag opening, filling, and sealing. Coding can be automatically done during the bag opening process by adding a coder at the bag opening position.
The rotary pouch filling machine completes packaging and output on a circular plate with 6 to 8 stations, including bag loading, coding, bag opening, filling, material pushing, heat sealing, and shaping output. Each position has its own function.
The rotary packing machine is compact with a complex transmission, while the horizontal packing machine is simple and straightforward. The rotary machine occupies less floor space than the horizontal machine, which is an advantage if you have limited factory space.
Speed
The speed of the two machines is determined by the weight of the material and the selected functions. In other words, if your product requires vacuuming and secondary filling, the packaging machine needs to add a vacuum device and a pushing device. Its speed will definitely be slower than a packaging machine that only performs secondary filling because each function takes time to complete.
However, based on our data measurements, under the same weight and function conditions, the horizontal packaging machine is slightly faster.
Filling Volume
For the feeding devices, you can choose based on your specific material.
Granular Products: If you have granular products like nuts, puffed foods, or metal parts, you can choose between a Z-type elevator, bucket elevator, or chain conveyor for your feeding device.
Powder Products: For powder products such as milk powder or protein powder, you can choose between a screw conveyor or a vacuum feeder. Due to the different flow properties of powders, it is recommended to send your material to the factory for analysis. The factory can then provide a detailed report to help you choose the correct powder feeding device.
Liquid Products: For liquid products like sauces, juices, or jellies, you can choose from liquid weighing equipment, injection pumps, or rotary pumps. Depending on the viscosity of your liquid product, you may need to add mixing or heating functions, which should be further confirmed with the factory.
Both horizontal premade pouch packing machines and rotary packing machines generally use combination weighing scales or 2/4/6 linear balance weighing devices. The best and most accurate option is usually a multi-head weigher, though it is more expensive. Simply provide your budget and desired accuracy to the factory, and they will recommend the appropriate electronic weighing equipment for you.
Pouch Type
These two types of machines can handle the same types of bags, including three-side seal bags, stand-up pouches, four-side seal bags, zipper bags, stand-up zipper bags, back seal bags, back seal gusset bags, side-seal flat-bottom bags, eight-side seal bags, eight-side seal zipper bags, inserted foot bags, shaped bags, and stand-up pouches with spouts.

Tips: If your packaging bag is a stand-up pouch with a spout in the center, you need to choose the rotary pouch filling machine, as the horizontal premade pouch packing machine is not suitable for bags with a center spout.
Price
Under the same configuration, the price of a rotary premade pouch packing machine is higher than that of a horizontal premade pouch packing machine. This is due to the rotary machine’s compactness, advanced technology, and higher design costs.
Repair & Maintenance
Both machines are made of durable and strong 304 stainless steel.
As you can see from the pictures, the horizontal premade pouch packing machine has a simple structure with ample space for easy cleaning. Each station can be cleaned manually.
The rotary premade pouch packing machine is compact, which may require more time for cleaning compared to the horizontal machine.
Both machines are pre-programmed at the factory, so you don’t need to worry. We provide instructional videos and manuals in different languages, along with excellent after-sales service to ensure customer satisfaction.
Application
The application range for both the horizontal premade pouch packing machine and the rotary premade pouch packing machine is mostly the same, except for the previously mentioned center spout stand-up pouches.
For the same machine models, they can be equipped with various devices. Their application range includes:
Food Industry: Various snacks, chips, biscuits, dried fruits, beef jerky, pork jerky, noodles, etc.
Hardware Industry: Parts, rubber strips, etc.
Medical Industry: Individual medical tool packaging, cotton pads, etc.
Frozen Industry: Processed foods, fresh products, chicken breasts, pre-cooked meals, etc.
Toy Industry: Block packaging, small toys, etc.
Cannabis Industry: Various cannabis related products.
