SM+: a revolutionary pouching platform

Volpak redefines the concepts of modularity and innovation in an “all in one” horizontal fill seal machine dedicated to pouch packaging.

Volpak’s legacy of innovation continues with the SM+, a state-of-the-art packaging platform designed to address the evolving needs of modern manufacturers. Built to offer maximum modularity, the SM+ is engineered to adapt seamlessly to varying production requirements.

Whether switching pouch sizes, adjusting closure types, or managing different pouch formats, the SM+ is an all-in-one solution. Its unique ability to handle both reel-fed and pre-made pouches within a single machine sets it apart, allowing manufacturers to optimize their operations and reduce the need for multiple systems.

Ground-breaking pouching solutions

At the heart of the SM+ is its commitment to innovation. Designed to meet the demands of today’s fast-paced production environments, the SM+ offers a highly modular and versatile approach to packaging. Its ability to quickly adjust between various pouch formats, styles and sizes makes it ideal for companies looking to diversify their product offerings without compromising on speed or efficiency. The SM+ goes beyond traditional packaging solutions by integrating advanced technologies that allow for customizable pouch closures, such as zippers, caps, and labels, giving manufacturers a competitive edge in product differentiation.

Scalability to meet market needs

The SM+ isn’t just versatile; it’s also scalable. Its modular design enables manufacturers to modify the machine configuration according to production demands, whether for large-scale, high-speed operations or more specialized, small-batch productions. This flexibility allows companies to remain agile in the face of shifting market demands, ensuring they can easily scale up or down based on current needs. With the ability to activate or deactivate machine stations on demand, the SM+ delivers unparalleled operational control, ensuring it can adapt to future production changes without requiring significant change-overs.

Late customization and efficiency

In an era where quick adaptation is critical, the SM+ excels in offering late-stage customization capabilities. The machine can efficiently manage small production runs, enabling manufacturers to switch between different SKUs with minimal downtime and waste. This flexibility is particularly valuable for businesses that need to frequently shift between products or offer customized packaging solutions on short notice. By streamlining transitions between product formats, the SM+ helps reduce lead times and enhances overall productivity, making it an ideal solution for companies competing in dynamic markets.

Compatibility with sustainable materials

While the primary focus of the SM+ is on innovation and operational flexibility, it is also equipped to work with 100% recyclable materials. This capability allows manufacturers to meet increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions without sacrificing performance. However, sustainability is not the primary message of the SM+. The real strength of the platform lies in its ability to push the boundaries of packaging innovation, offering advanced features that keep manufacturers at the forefront of the industry.
