Reliable vertical packaging for high‑viscosity dairy products, compatible with hot‑fill applications
The Vertical Viscous Liquid Packaging Machine is a vertical form‑fill‑seal (VFFS) system engineered for the packaging of high‑viscosity products such as cottage cheese, cream cheese, sauces, and dairy creams, in institutional formats of 6.6–17.6 lb (3–8 kg) as well as individual consumer packs.
The machine automatically forms pillow‑type bags from a flat film roll, providing a significant reduction in unit packaging cost compared to rigid pre‑formed containers such as buckets or tubs. Its vertical architecture leverages gravity‑assisted product flow, facilitating the handling of dense and heavy products while maintaining stable filling conditions.
Product dosing is adapted to the rheological behavior of each formulation. Pneumatic piston fillers are used for viscous products with particulates, while mass‑flow metering systems ensure precise dosing of homogeneous products such as cream cheese or smooth dairy spreads. The system supports hot‑fill operation and performs immediate hermetic sealing, ensuring microbiological safety and allowing controlled cooling without risk of cross‑contamination.
Designed for the institutional and food‑service channel, this solution optimizes packaging efficiency, logistics, and hygiene for high‑viscosity dairy products.
Key benefits
• Replaces rigid buckets with flexible, high‑strength bags
• Reduces packaging material storage volume by up to 80%
• Optimizes logistics for food‑service and institutional distribution
• Eliminates reverse logistics of rigid containers
• Ensures exact portioning with robust, hermetic seals
The Vertical Viscous Liquid Packaging Machine delivers accurate dosing, safe hot‑fill packaging, and reduced total cost of ownership, making it an ideal solution for modern dairy and cheese‑processing plants.
Main Features and Advantages
Continuous vertical VFFS system: Continuous vertical form-fill-seal architecture from reel, optimized for efficient high-throughput packaging of liquids and viscous products.
High-precision volumetric dosing: Volumetric doser calibrated for viscous products guarantees accuracy in fill volume per bag, minimizing weight variation and reducing product waste.
Hermetic sealing for viscous fluids: Longitudinal and transverse sealing system designed to operate with high-barrier multilayer films, ensuring the hermeticity required for dairy sauces, creams and gels.
Compatible with sauces, cream cheese and gels: Sanitary design with AISI 316 stainless steel contact surfaces and CIP access for fast cleaning between product changes, meeting dairy hygiene regulations.
