Evolution of Packaging Machines
You might wonder why most online resources discuss vertical form fill seal machines and flow wrapping machines, but there is less information on horizontal premade pouch packing machines. The reason is simple: this type of packaging machine is a recent invention. It incorporates modern technology and innovation, making it a popular and widely used choice.
Development of Horizontal Premade Pouch Packing Machines
In recent years, horizontal premade pouch packing machines have developed rapidly in the packaging machinery industry. Manufacturers continuously innovate and integrate new technologies. Our new mini model has received positive market feedback, indicating a bright future for horizontal premade pouch packing machines in the industry.
Mini Type Premade Pouch Packing Machine
As an automatic pouch packing machine, do you know how the premade pouch packing machine packages products? What types of bags is it suitable for? Today, we’ll explain the jerky packing machine, which is the most common customer case in our factory, and how it works.
What is the Horizontal Premade Pouch Packing Machine?
From the literal meaning, you may understand “premade pouch” as a pre-manufactured bag. This machine is a horizontal pouch packing machine, meaning that the bags it uses are already made and do not need the machine to create them before packing the product. This is ideal for customers who have specific requirements for their packaging bags, as they can have the pre-designed bags produced in advance.
Unlike vertical packaging machines, this machine completes the main steps of opening the bag, filling it, and sealing it without the need to form the bag itself. Additionally, this machine can perform multiple filling processes.
Types of the Horizontal Premade Pouch Packing Machine
Categorized by Product Type
You can easily categorize products into three main types: granules, powders, and liquids. The first step in choosing the right packing machine is to select the appropriate filling device for your specific product.
Granular Products: If you need to pack granular products, start by informing the manufacturer about the size of the granules. It’s best to send samples to the manufacturer for accurate assessment. Once the size is known, the manufacturer will need to know the dimensions of your packaging bags (length and width) to design the bag placement, opening, and sealing mechanisms. Also, specify the weight of each package and whether additional devices are needed to manage the weight during the packing process. Common granular products include jerky, dried fruits, nuts, peanuts, toys, tea, candies, frozen foods, chocolate, coffee beans, pasta, etc.
Powder Products: For powder products, inform the manufacturer about the desired accuracy and the flowability of the powder. Also, provide the packaging weight. Common powder products include milk tea powder, coffee powder, spices, chocolate powder, flour, lotus root powder, baking soda, chili powder, milk powder, protein powder, etc.
Liquid Products: When packing liquid products, consider the viscosity, as it affects the filling speed. Check if the liquid contains granules and whether stirring or heating is required. The best approach is to describe your product clearly so the manufacturer can simulate and test the packaging process. Common liquid products include laundry detergent, juice, disinfectant, etc.
Granule-Liquid Mixtures: Using multiple filling devices for granules and liquids. For example, if you want to pack face masks with both a mask sheet and essence, the machine will be designed with separate filling devices for the granules and liquids, allowing for orderly operation.
Advanced Horizontal Pouch Packing Machines
We have also developed a series of advanced horizontal form fill seal machines capable of packing multiple bags at once. These include machines that can simultaneously pack two, three, or four bags. They are especially popular for liquid products, such as new types of small pouch drinks, significantly improving production efficiency. If your product is small-pouch packaging, feel free to contact us to discuss these new multi-bag horizontal pouch packing machines.

Structure and Components
When you purchase a horizontal pouch packing machine, it’s important to understand the function of its different stations and the additional features that can be integrated. Generally, the horizontal pouch packing machine has three main stations: pouch opening, filling, and sealing. Additional components include feeding and weighing systems.
Main Body and Frame:
Made of durable 304 stainless steel, providing strong support for daily packaging needs.
Feeding System:
The hopper and conveyor are selected based on the type of product. The feeding system for powders, granules, and liquids includes: Auger fillers, Volumetric fillers, Liquid fillers
For more information on feeding equipment, click on “Packaging Equipment” to quickly identify the right system for your needs.
Pouch Opening System:
Opens your pre-made pouches for filling. This system is adjusted based on the type of pouch. For instance, if your pouch has a zipper, the suction cups’ strength is increased to open the pouch properly for filling.
Suction Cups and Mechanical Arms:
These components play a crucial role in transferring the pouches and conveying them post-filling.
Filling System:
Fill the pouches with the product after weighing. You can adjust the filling system according to your weight requirements. If you need to remove air, a vacuum device can be added. To reduce oxidation, a nitrogen filling device can also be integrated at this stage.
Sealing System:
Once the product is filled, it moves to the sealing system, primarily using heat sealing. For special films, we can modify the system based on customer requirements.
Heat Sealing Bars and Pressure Mechanisms: After filling, certain pouch types may need an additional step to arrange the seal area neatly before sealing, ensuring the finished product looks aesthetically pleasing.
Coding and Labeling System:
Usually completed before filling since the pouch opening system has ample space to accommodate a coder.
Control Panel and User Interface:
You can choose from our partner brands like Siemens, or opt for cost-effective alternatives based on customer feedback. The user interface supports multiple languages, allowing customers worldwide to learn quickly.
By understanding these components and their functions, you can ensure that you choose the right configuration for your packaging needs.

The Benefit of the Horizontal Premade Pouch Packing Machine to Pack Beef Jerky
Why Choose the Horizontal Premade Pouch Packing Machine to Pack Beef Jerky
Why should we choose premade pouches to pack beef jerky? There are various packaging options for beef jerky on the market, such as stand-up pouches, individual vacuum packs, zipper stand-up pouches, shaped pouches, back-seal bags, and more attractive pouch types. These pouches fall within the packaging range of the horizontal premade pouch packing machine. The machine’s pouch placement stations are adjustable, allowing you to change pouch sizes within a certain range. However, it’s essential to consult with the factory first.
Since beef jerky is a snack food, customers often recommend adding desiccants or antioxidants. This step requires a secondary filling, which is a significant advantage of the horizontal premade pouch packing machine as it can handle multiple fillings.
If you choose to use zipper pouches, the machine includes a pouch opening device that can be adjusted pneumatically to meet the requirements of opening the zipper, offering versatility in pouch types.
