QuickPouch Micro Automated Pouch Opener

The Second Generation QuickPouch Micro Automated Pouch Opener for Pre-made Pouches

Like the original version, the updated Micro is portable, weighing less than 25 lbs and requiring minimal air and power. The magazine capacity has increased by approximately 50% for standard pouches, with even greater improvements for zipper and gusset pouches. The magazine automatically retracts when the new clamshell-style guarding is opened, leaving the operator's hands free and allowing greater access during pouch reloading. This results in an average reload time of just a few seconds.
Machine Specifications

The Micro acts like an extra set of hands for the operator, presenting and opening the pouch to allow the product to be loaded with minimal human contact and effort, keeping the operator's fingers outside of the pouch at all times. The system can operate in either automatic mode (machine-paced) or manual mode (operator-paced) at speeds of up to 30 pouches per minute. Fewer and faster reloads with the updated magazine mean more time opening pouches and less time reloading the machine. After the product has been inserted into the pouch, the unit releases it, allowing it to be sealed with a separate heat sealer.
Features and Options

The Micro is ideal for the rapid deployment of new products, such as new medical tests or treatments that cannot wait months for a fully automated or custom packaging solution. With short lead times and minimal operator training required, the Micro is one of the fastest ways to significantly increase production capabilities. By potentially doubling or tripling the efficiency of operators, more pouches can be loaded with fewer people in less time.
