Vertical Form-Fill-Seal System
QuickPouch Vertical by RND Automation
A vertical form-fill-seal (FFS) machine that forms a four-sided sealed pouch from rollstock and is explicitly designed for the medical device and IVD industries.
Overview
The QuickPouch Vertical is a compact, economical, customizable pouch form/fill/seal machine designed to fit almost any need. It is a cycle-on-demand system that uses a hot die to form pouches from rollstock, leaving the top of the pouch open for loading, and then sealing the pouch during the next cycle.
The Vertical lets you control key sealing parameters—time, temperature, and pressure—to support consistent, repeatable seal conditions. For validation projects, additional monitoring and documentation packages are available. Built for cleanroom use, it features a fully interlocked Lexan® enclosure that helps control airflow over pouches and parts while protecting the operator.
RND Automation now designs, builds, and supports the QuickPouch Vertical as part of the QuickPouch product family, providing OEM parts, upgrades, and lifecycle services for both new and legacy machines.
Key Features
Designed for Medical & IVD Packaging
Engineered for high-integrity, high-quality packaging in medical device and diagnostic applications, where seal quality and pouch consistency are critical.
Four-Side Sealed Pouches from Rollstock
Forms four-side sealed pouches from dual webs, starting with a single roll of flexible material for better control over pouch format.
Cleanroom-Oriented Design
Fully interlocked Lexan enclosure helps control airflow over pouches and parts, protecting operators and making it suitable for cleanroom environments.
Manual or Automatic Loading
Successfully used as a hand-loaded system and in fully automatic configurations when integrated with feeders or assembly systems.

How It Works
Load Material
Mount roll of material and route through web path into forming section
Form the Pouch
Dual webs create side and bottom seals to define the pouch
Load Product
Place device or component into the open pouch
Seal and Cut
Top seal is applied and pouch is cut to length
Discharge
Pouches discharge to collection or downstream process
