Horizontal Premade Bag Packing Machine
Automated magazine-fed pick, fill, and seal systems (SPM-160 / 210 / 260) designed for doypacks, zipper bags, side-gusset pouches, and liquid spout formats.
High-Precision Pouch Handling & Automated Dosing
Designed specifically for pre-formed bags, the SPM series horizontal host automatically loads pouches from a magazine, opens the bag mouth, presents it for precise dosing, and executes two-stage thermal sealing.
System Capabilities & Fit Criteria
Unlike vertical rollstock equipment, horizontal premade bag machines preserve printed pouch graphics and support complex pouch geometries such as stand-up doypacks, press-to-close zippers, and liquid spouts.
- Primary Application Fit
- Premade bags requiring magazine-fed pick-and-place operation across powder, granular, solid, liquid, or paste products.
- Compatible Dosing Systems
- Auger fillers, multihead weighers, volumetric cup fillers, and pneumatic piston liquid pumps.
- Essential Engineering Inputs
- Physical pouch samples, dimensional drawings, bulk density/viscosity, target fill weight, and required line output.
1. Define Product Behavior
Flow characteristics, particle size, bulk density, dust generation, or viscosity dictate the appropriate filling unit choice.
2. Verify Pouch Specification
Pouch width, length, film material structure, bottom gusset depth, and zipper configuration govern gripper tooling.
3. Confirm Production Goals
Target operating speed (bags/min), required coding, gas flushing, and downstream inspection define overall line scope.

* Production speeds are subject to pouch dimensions, film seal layer composition, zipper type, and dosing cycle duration.
Sequential 6-Station Operation Cycle
Each pouch passes through six synchronized stations, ensuring reliable pouch opening, precise material filling, and hermetic sealing.
Pouch Infeed Magazine
Pneumatic vacuum arms pick pre-printed bags from the adjustable feeding magazine and position them into heavy-duty mechanical grippers.
Date Coding & Inspection
Thermal transfer, hot-stamp, or inkjet coders print batch details. Sensors verify pouch presence prior to downstream execution.
Pouch Opening & Inflation
Vacuum suction cups separate the pouch walls while a top air jet inflates the bag body. Zipper opener blades disengage re-closeable seals.
Automated Dosing
Dosing nozzle descends into the pouch opening. Interlocked controls ensure zero product discharge if no pouch is detected.
Thermal Heat Sealing
First-stage heat seal bars compress the pouch mouth. A secondary cooling or cold-press bar solidifies the seal for maximum strength.
Outfeed Conveying
Finished sealed pouches release onto an outfeed belt for transfer to checkweighers, metal detectors, or case packing stations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common engineering and procurement queries regarding horizontal premade pouch machinery.
Can a horizontal premade bag packing machine run my product and pack format?
Yes. Provided your pouch is a pre-formed bag (stand-up doypack, side gusset, or flat sachet) suitable for magazine feeding. Dosing feasibility depends on product flow, dust level, and viscosity. Spartan Machine Co., Ltd. conducts sample testing to verify pouch opening and sealing integrity before confirming machine build.
Is the listed production speed of a horizontal premade bag packing machine guaranteed?
Mechanical dry-cycle speed reaches up to 50–60 pouches per minute. Actual production output depends on fill weight, product de-aeration time, pouch mouth width, zipper opener requirements, and heat-seal dwell times. All output specifications quoted by Spartan Machine Co., Ltd. state exact operating conditions.
How do I choose between SPM-160, SPM-210, and SPM-260?
Select the model primarily based on maximum pouch width across your product line. SPM-160 handles pouches up to 160 mm wide, SPM-210 handles up to 210 mm, and SPM-260 handles up to 260 mm. If you run multiple pouch sizes, select the frame size that accommodates your largest pouch format.
What is included in a complete horizontal packaging machine quotation?
Our standard quotations itemize the base horizontal host, selected dosing unit (auger, multihead, or pump), infeed elevator, discharge conveyor, coders, and optional inspection equipment separately. Exclusions (such as compressed air drops, external utilities, and film stock) are explicitly listed for transparent evaluation.
How is after-sales service handled for international orders?
All equipment comes with a 12-month warranty from receipt date. Initial troubleshooting and operator training are conducted remotely via video consultation and detailed technical manuals. Standard replacement components are dispatched via international express, and onsite commissioning engineers can be scheduled under agreed project terms.
