The D-Series is a complete range of fully Servo controlled horizontal stand-up pouch packaging machines designed by PFM to cover all the needs for an extremely fast and flexible packaging 

The D-Series is simple because all functions and operations are precisely controlled,
parameterized and repeatable, including:

  • Automatic film stretch control & compensation.
  • Sealing parameters are material driven, not speed dependent.
  • Format change takes 20 minutes on average.
  • Low-tension film transport.
  • Indicates time left before the end of the reel.
  • The machine is easily accessible, can be sanitized and inspected.

The D-Series is sustainable because:  It uses 100% recyclable mono-film PE, PP, and laminated paper (up to 80% paper predominance).

Each D-Series base machine features 3 areas that can be set-up independently during the format change: Forming Area takes the material from the reel, forming the pouch up to the cutting stage; in other words, until the pouches are separated. In the Filling Area, product is dosed, filling the pouches. The Sealing Area transports the pouch without releasing it until the packaging process is completed.

The pouch is opened, checked, filled with product, gas flushed (if necessary), sealed and cooled.

The machine can be enhanced by integrating the following modules: Check-weigher, Metal detector, X-Ray, Secondary Packaging. The open architecture offers plug & play installation of additional functionality such as zip, applicators, shaped pouches etc., future-proofing the investment for an ever-changing world.
