Packaging Machinery by Process

Choose a route, then define the configuration

LINEVO’s engineering team selects the machine platform, dosing system and supporting equipment around your product, finished pack and production target. Use this directory to choose the process, then develop the configuration with us.

Each family page presents our equipment configurations, application photographs and published parameters. Send your product and pack details for an application-specific specification, including output, utilities and format tooling.

Find the route from the finished pack

If you already know what the finished pack looks like, it usually points to one family. If you are still deciding on the pack, compare two or three routes with the product in mind.

• A bag formed from roll film, such as a pillow, gusseted or quad-seal bag: vertical form fill seal machines
• A long, narrow single-serve pack: stick pack machines
• A small flat pack sealed on three or four sides: sachet packing machines
• A stand-up, zipper, flat or spouted pouch bought ready-made: premade pouch filling machines
• A single product, group or tray wrapped horizontally in a pillow pack: flow wrapping machines
• A cup, cap cavity or other container dosed and sealed: filling machines
• A carton or box wrapped in clear film with folded ends: cellophane overwrapping machines
• Products, pouches, blisters or bottles loaded into a folding carton: cartoning machines
• A label applied to bottles, jars, cans, vials or boxes: labeling machines
• A filled can closed with its lid, in air, under vacuum or with nitrogen: can seaming machines

Food packaging runs on every one of these families, from coffee, snacks and sauces to frozen products and confectionery. The same families also pack detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and chemical products; for those, the product-contact materials, dust control and any electrical requirements are confirmed for the product. If you know your product but not the pack, the packaging routes by product page starts from the material instead.

When one product passes through several machines

Many finished products need more than one of these families. Stick packs or sachets are counted into a carton, the carton may then be overwrapped in film, and bottles filled on one machine are labeled on another. The catalog includes configurations built around such combinations.

Read the engineering configuration

LV-400BF and LV-250B/D identify machine platforms in our portfolio. Configurations can share a platform while using different dosing units, tooling, feeding equipment or accessories for the application.

Published speeds, power, weights and dimensions apply to the configuration shown. Our engineering review checks the product, pack size, packaging material and utilities before specifying the build for your project.

Start a packaging machine project

A project moves from a family to a confirmed configuration in three steps:

• Send the brief: the product, the finished pack, the fill per pack, the good output you need and your site details. The project brief checklist lists them, and anything not yet decided can be marked as open.
• Review: the team checks which family and configuration fit, and whether your product should be tested first. Sample testing preparation explains what to send and what a test can settle.
• Proposal: you receive a proposed configuration with the conditions behind its listed figures, as the basis for a quotation.

Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines

Form bags from roll film, dose by multihead weigher, auger or cup, and seal them vertically for snacks, coffee, frozen food, grains and powders.

• Film unwinding and tension control, with a registration sensor when the film is printed
• Forming shoulder and forming tube, which set the bag width
• Longitudinal back seal made as a fin or lap seal
• Film pulling by belts, with servo drives on selected configurations
• Product discharge from the weigher or filler into the forming tube
• Transverse jaws that seal the top of one bag and the bottom of the next, with a knife to separate them
• Optional devices such as gas flushing, date coding, hole punching, gusseting or a degassing valve applicator
• Discharge conveyor to checkweighing, metal detection or secondary packaging

Stick Pack Machines

Stick pack machines for powders, granules and liquids. Compare multi-lane configurations, dosing, pack sizes and quotation requirements.

Sachet Packing Machines

Sachet packaging machines for powders, granules, sauces and personal care products. Compare dosing and seal formats, then send your pack and fill requirements.

Premade Pouch Filling Machines

Open, fill and seal ready-made stand-up, zipper and spout pouches for snacks, fruit, sauces, beverages and detergents, set up around your pouch sample.

Flow Wrapping Machines

Horizontal flow wrappers for food, household items and fixed kits, with feeding matched to your product.

Filling Machines

Cup and cap-cavity filling machines for sauces, honey and powders.

Cellophane Overwrapping Machines

3D overwrapping machines that fold BOPP or cellophane film around perfume, cosmetic, tea, pharmaceutical and card boxes, with optional tear tape.

Automatic Cartoning Machines

Automatic cartoning machines for tea bags, coffee pods, bars, cosmetics and blister packs. Compare configurations and discuss your product and carton.

Automatic Labeling Machines

Automatic labeling machines for bottles, jars, vials, cans and cartons. Compare container handling, label formats and standalone or integrated lines.

Can Seaming Machines

Can seaming machines that close filled cans with their lids: semi-automatic and automatic seamers, with or without vacuum or nitrogen filling.

• Semi-automatic seamers loaded by hand, in air or under vacuum
• Automatic conveyor-fed seamers with a servo-driven indexing table
• Automatic vacuum seaming with a water-ring pump and buffer tank
• Vacuum nitrogen seaming for residual oxygen below 3%
