FLtècnics offers horizontal form-fill-seal pouch making technology in both carrousel and walking-beam styles. These servo-controlled machines are capable of speeds of up to 400 units per minute for liquids, powders, and granules. Formats include zipper, Velcro, three sided pouches, and more.
On display at Pack Expo will be an FLtècnics machine that forms, fills, and seals both top- and corner-spout pouches on one machine. Sales, service, and spare parts will be handled from the Matrix Packaging Machinery facility in Saukville, Wisconsin. Through the recent acquisition by Pro Mach of Benchmark Automation, the Flexible Packaging Group now offers Benchmark’s horizontal form-fill-seal pouch machines, including zippered pouch solutions. These rugged machines are ideal for small to mid-sized companies looking for production speeds of up to 70 pouches per minute.

Importantly, customers receive Pro Mach ProCustomer support, one of the most thorough and comprehensive after sales support programs available.”
