Introducing IMPAK's Automatic Pouch Opener

custom metal pouch opener for tabletop

Fast, easy, hands-free package filling is here

Already an acknowledged leader in flexible packaging and sealing machines, IMPAK has taken our commitment to saving customers time and money one step further. We are proud to introduce our new Automatic Pouch Opener, a device created by our Machine Engineering team in our Los Angeles, California facility that represents another bold step forward in helping customers to process high volumes of packaging quickly.

Our bench-top pouch opener increases throughput by eliminating manual pouch opening in product loading applications. Pouches are inserted into an adjustable magazine, the activated unit picks and opens them individually for hands-free loading, and it then releases each filled pouch for separate heat sealing. The unit picks, opens, and releases pouches at an automated rate or can be operated by foot pedal. When rapid deployment is crucial for your product, our Automatic Pouch Opener will potentially double or triple your operational efficiency.

Rapid Sealer

PrintRapid™ Band Sealer with InkJet Printing

The Pouch Opener can be used in a variety of applications, including medical testing devices, clean room environments, electronic parts, food products, adhesives, toys, and much more. The unit is portable and designed to be used on a bench top, and can thereby be integrated into any number of production situations. The standard unit accomodates pouches up to 9", but the machine can be customized to work with practically any size of pouch.

In order to take full advantage of how this machine can improve efficiency and throughput, we recommend using a RapidSealer™ continuous rotary band sealer that can keep up with the speed of your filled pouches. IMPAK offers a wide variety of these units to fit your unique workflow, with options that include horizontal, vertical, left-to-right or right-to-left configuration, vacuum seal, gas flush, and InkJet pouch printing.

Can be hand operated or integrated into a larger system. Utilizing an Allen-Bradley Control System, we can help you maximize your productivity per workseat.
