BEST IN CLASS
SOLUTIONS AT
PACKAGING INNOVATIONS
AND EMPACK 2026
Autopack will showcase a range of its automated and semi-automated equipment at
Packaging Innovations and Empack 2026. Visitors are welcome to visit stand V132 to find
the right solution for their packaging formats and materials.

EXHIBITING A RANGE OF INNOVATIVE EQUIPMENT
There will be wide variety of products on display, including:
An SV30-USD Sealer; A100 VFFS with four-head Mini Weigher; A DV1100 Depositor
operating with a gated conveyor; a Semi-Automatic Bucket Machine; and a Mini Auger.

The SV30-USD is a semi-automatic vertical continuous band sealer. An operator feeds bags
or pouches into the band mechanism which draws the pack through sealing jaws, hermetically
sealing the pack using heat and pressure. The semi-automatic machine can operate at speeds
of 15 metres per minute and will operate in a twin head configuration at the show.

The A100 Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) is the simplest and most compact of Autopack’s
VFFS range, designed for small-medium pillow packs. Compatible with all product types it
is used in every sector but is most commonly used in the food industry to pack coffee, flour,
chocolates, cereals and grains. This will be displayed with a four-head Mini Weigher.

A DV1100 will be running, which is a depositor incorporating a
volumetric piston filler with a range of 70ml to 1100ml. With food
grade seals, and stainless-steel construction, this depositor is perfect
for filling liquids for all industries including the food and beverage
sector. It will run with a gated conveyor for glass jars at the show.

The Semi-Automatic Bucket Machine drives efficiency for customers
in food, household, pet food, chemical, pharmaceutical
and personal care. It also lowers the initial cost
compared to a fully automatic system.

Rounding off the machinery is a Mini Auger machine
designed for the accurate and efficient packing of
powders and granular materials.
