Ajinomoto Selects Reclosable Stand-up Pouch from Ampac

To facilitate filling, the spout’s base has been engineered with a patent pending, molded feature that allows the pouch to slide onto parallel rails positioned on either side of the fitment. This allows the flat, flexible pouches to be moved through the filling process easily and efficiently.

After the pouches are assembled at Ampac’s Minneapolis facility, they are then transferred from stainless steel rails used for in-plant assembly to plastic rails, which are used to transport the packages to Jel Sert for filling. At Jel Sert, an attendant removes the empty, rail-mounted pouches from the Gaylord container and uses the same rails to mount them onto the Hensen filler’s conveying system. The continuous-motion unit then fills each Amino Vital pouch at a rate of up to 200 per minute.
