SM+: Volpak’s breakthrough in pouch packaging

At Volpak, we don’t just follow market trends — we shape them. With the launch of SM+, our latest modular platform, we are redefining pouch packaging by addressing today’s most pressing manufacturing challenges: flexibility, scalability, and sustainability. 

Designed for both Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal (HFFS) and pre-made pouch applications, SM+ integrates cutting-edge mechatronic technology, magnetic drive systems, and advanced automation and it’s designed to meet the demand of industries such as dry pet food, oils and sauces, home care, and snacks.

SM+: Turning Complexity into Opportunities 

In a market shaped by e-commerce growth and sustainability priorities, SM+ provides the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency needed to adapt to multichannel distribution while minimizing environmental impact.

Key features that set SM+ apart include: 

• Dual Compatibility: Operates seamlessly with reel-fed, pre-made pouches, or a hybrid set-up, accommodating speeds from 50 to 240 ppm.

• Wide range of formats: Supports a broad range of pouch sizes (50 ml to 4.000 ml), including stand-up, flat, gusseted, regular, or shaped pouches.

• Customizable Pouch Features: Easily fits pouch options (e.g., caps, zippers, labels) in modular functional stations independently driven, allowing switching from different pouch styles by recipe through the HMI, or enabling increasing capacity at any time as demand grows.

• Automated efficiency: Fast, HMI-driven changeovers reduce downtime and maximize productivity.

• Multiple Dosing Options: Allows filling different products simultaneously and switching combinations during the same run.

• Sustainability: Minimizes waste and energy consumption, while supporting eco-friendly materials like mono-material films.
