Pouch Machine M7
Paper-based alternatives to plastics are available in all sorts of pack types, and Pouch Machine was showing the Canadian-manufactured M7 range of equipment, recently used to seal pre-made coated paper pouches for dry products including confectionery.
Fitting into floorspace of just 2 square metres, the M7 is capable of sealing up to 40 packs a minute, depending on pouch size.
Alongside plastics laminate pouches created on the machine, the company’s stand was showing the Earthpouch, sourced from Sirane, featuring a bio-coating to provide both barrier and a heatseal function. New converts to Sirane’s material include meringue manufacturer Flower & White.
