• Reduced set up time: by -75%
• 4 times less material waste at setup
• Reduced changeover time: by -30%/-50%
• Increased output by +10%/+15%
FLEXIBLE: THE SUSTAINABLE
PACKAGING
Flexible packaging provides great environmental benefits to
manufacturers, distributors and consumers throughout the
package’s life cycle.
The flexible packaging produces less CO2 compared to
most of the packages in the market and it significantly
improves the product/packaging ratio, thus becoming the
most sustainable packaging.
The minimum volume of waste, once it has been
consumed, represents a considerable saving in the waste
collection process.

BENEFITS OF FLEXIBLE
PACKAGING
• Attractive brand presentation: different forms & shapes.
It can be tailored to fit your needs
• Long shelf life thanks to preservation of flavour, texture
minerals and vitamins, through use of barrier materials
• Easy to carry thanks to flexible and lightweight
characteristics
• Less waste volume
• Recloseable and reusable. Features such as zip
locks, spouts, and resealable seals make usage more
convenient
• Convenient
POUCH RANGE
SI-280
VERSATILE & RELIABLE
Is the ideal machine for stand up pouches of up to 600 ml
capacity offering flexibility in the change of format, with the
added capability to produce big pouches for up to 2,5 lit.
Compactness and reliability are also two of the
characteristics that best define the SI-280 model.
The new SI-280 turns changing format into a controlled
process by guiding the operator and leaving no room for
improvisation.

SI-360
FLEXIBILITY & SPEED
The SI line has been designed for customers who require
high production levels without forgoing flexibility that will
allow them to operate with different formats. A SI-360 may
therefore be equipped to work in quadruplex at production
rates of 240 pouches per minute and with format change
thereafter to operate in triplex with a larger format.
The SI-360 Duplex version provides the option of working
with pouches of up to 1500 cc at a production rate of
around 100 pouches per minute.
