Overview

Automatic premade-pouch packaging in one integrated cycle

The Horizontal Bag Feeder is a premade-pouch (给袋式) packaging machine that automates the entire bag-fill-seal workflow. Unlike form-fill-seal machines that start from roll film, this system works with pre-formed bags — picking them from a magazine, opening them, filling product, and heat-sealing in a continuous rotary cycle.

Available in two frame sizes, the ZB-OC-160 for small-to-medium pouches (10g–500g) and the ZB-OC-260 for larger volumes (over 2000ml), this machine adapts to a wide range of products. The number of filling and sealing stations (cylinder positions) can be increased or decreased based on your specific product and throughput requirements.

Workflow

6-step automatic packaging process

Each cycle runs automatically from bag pick-up to finished product discharge. Station count is adjustable based on product requirements.

1

Take the bag from magazine

2

Pick up bag & print date code

3

Open bag top & bottom

4

Fill product into bag

5

First heat seal

6

Second heat seal & discharge

Engineering

Key features & build quality

📦

Premade Pouch Design

Works with pre-formed stand-up pouches, flat bags, three-side-seal bags, and zipper pouches — eliminating the complexity of roll-film bag forming.

⚙️

Modular Station Layout

Cylinder positions for filling, coding, and sealing can be added or removed to match your exact product and speed requirements.

🔄

Continuous Rotary Cycle

Bag pick-up, opening, filling, and dual heat-sealing happen in one uninterrupted rotary motion for consistent throughput.

📏

Two Frame Sizes

ZB-OC-160 for small pouches (80–160mm width, up to 500g) and ZB-OC-260 for larger bags (140–260mm width, over 2000ml).

🌡️

Dual Heat Sealing

Two-stage heat sealing ensures strong, consistent seal integrity across different pouch materials and fill weights.

Questions buyers ask

Frequently asked questions

It handles granules, powders, liquids, pastes, sauces, snacks, nuts, dried fruit, candy, pet food, seeds, and small hardware items — essentially anything that fits into a premade pouch.
The ZB-OC-160 handles bag widths of 80–160mm at 10–50 bags/min and is suited for smaller pouches (10g–500g). The ZB-OC-260 handles wider bags (140–260mm) at 25–45 bags/min and accommodates volumes over 2000ml.
Yes, this is a premade-pouch machine. It picks up pre-formed bags from a magazine, opens them, fills, and seals. It does not form bags from roll film — for that you would need a form-fill-seal machine.
Yes, the number of cylinder positions (filling and sealing stations) can be increased or reduced according to your product requirements, desired output speed, and floor space.
