Select from our specialized line of high-grade automatic sachet, stick-pack, and pouch sealing equipment optimized for fruit jams, tomato paste, chili sauces, and viscous food liquids.
Colombia’s agro-industrial sector is undergoing a rapid modernization phase. Regions such as Valle del Cauca, Antioquia, Cundinamarca, and Santander are experiencing unprecedented demand for localized packaging of single-serve fruit pulps, artisan jams (mora, guayaba, maracuyá, uchuva), caramel spreads (arequipe), and condiments like tomato ketchup and hot chili sauces. As food service channels (HORECA) and quick-service restaurant (QSR) chains across Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali transition from bulk containers to hygienic, single-use 10g to 50g sachets, industrial jam producers require robust machinery designed to overcome distinct non-Newtonian fluid behaviors.
When dosing viscous fruit products, manufacturers face challenges such as non-uniform brix levels, particulate fibers, high sugar adhesion, and thermal sensitivity. Standard liquid filling lines often struggle with volume deviation, stringing, and seal contamination. China's leading packaging factories have engineered specialized Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) and Multi-Lane Stick Pack Machines featuring pneumatic rotary valve piston pumps, insulated double-jacketed heating hoppers, and anti-drip cut-off nozzles. These systems maintain high dosing precision (within ±0.5%) even when handling high-viscosity media (up to 50,000 cPs) at hot-filling temperatures of 85°C to 90°C.
| Dosing Mechanism | Recommended Viscosity Range | Particulate Tolerance | Filling Accuracy | Primary Colombian Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piston Pump (Servo/Pneumatic) | 5,000 – 50,000 cPs | High (Up to 5mm seeds/pulp) | ± 0.5% | Bocadillo paste, Guava Jam, Arequipe, Mayo |
| Peristaltic / Rotary Lobe Pump | 1,000 – 20,000 cPs | Medium (Fine fruit puree) | ± 1.0% | Passiflora (Maracuyá) Syrup, Concentrates |
| Gravity Liquid Valve | 1 – 1,000 cPs | Zero (Clear liquids) | ± 1.5% | Vinegar, Liquid Juices, Water sachets |
| Multi-Lane Servo Piston | 2,000 – 35,000 cPs | Medium (Smooth ketchup & sauce) | ± 0.5% | High-speed QSR Sachet Lines (6-12 Lanes) |
Combining European tier-1 components with cost-effective Chinese precision manufacturing to deliver maximum operational Reliability (OEE) for South American buyers.
Every machine features standard Siemens PLC touchscreens, Festo pneumatic solenoid valves, SICK optical sensor eyes, and Schneider electrical safety contactors to ensure easy local spare part sourcing in Colombia.
All product contact zones comply fully with food-grade sanitary requirements, utilizing polished Stainless Steel 316L. Easily dismountable tri-clamp joints allow seamless CIP (Clean-In-Place) flushing.
Extensive export experience into major Colombian ports including Puerto de Buenaventura (Pacific access) and Cartagena / Barranquilla (Atlantic access), with custom-built export seaworthy wooden crate packaging.
Custom pneumatic pressure and thermal sealing jaws tuned for high-elevation operational environments (such as Bogotá at 2,640m AMSL) to guarantee atmospheric pressure seal stability.
Factory configured for Colombia’s local electrical grids: 220V 60Hz 3-Phase or 110V 60Hz Single-Phase options, fully wire-coded to prevent installation faults upon arrival.
Siemens touch panels come pre-installed with bilingual (Spanish/English) operator menus. Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) video verification provided prior to dispatch.
1. Rise of Sustainable Laminated Films: Colombian legislation is increasingly favoring recyclable mono-material films (such as PE-PP laminates). Our filling machinery incorporates advanced digital PID temperature controllers and servo-driven sealing jaws capable of sealing eco-friendly barrier films without burn-through or micro-channel leaks.
2. Convenient Portion Control in HORECA: Major retail supermarket chains in Colombia (such as Éxito, Jumbo, and Ara) are expanding white-label single-serve jam and sauce lines. Small-format stick packs (10g–20g) significantly reduce food waste in hotels and airlines while offering 100% hygienic portion security.
3. Shaped & Stand-Up Pouches for Artisanal Preserves: Custom die-cut shaped sachets (such as fruit-contoured pouches for mora or passiflora jams) allow small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in Colombia to stand out on retail shelves against traditional glass jars, reducing transportation freight costs by up to 65%.
