Filling bags with the cap: simple, clean and efficient

Objective: Understand spouted pouch filling technology in a few minutes. Easy to read and understand language (EAUL).

In short

  • The spouted pouch has a spout welded to the top or corner.
  • The product is filled through the spout , then the cap is tightly closed .
  • Hygienic , fast, CIP/SIP compatible process .
  • Formats from 60 ml to 3–5 L depending on machines and recipes.

Goal: to provide clear , useful and rapid information for your packaging choices.

Principle of filling through the cap

What is a spouted pouch?

A flexible pouch with a spout (top center or corner). Ideal for liquids , semi-viscous and pasty (juices, sauces, gels, cosmetics, detergents).

Key points: precise dosage, easy opening, practical format for the user.

How is the filling done?

  1. The nozzle is introduced into the dosing station.
  2. The product is dosed automatically via pump (lobe, peristaltic, gear).
  3. The cap is fitted and sealed (torque check).

The process is hygienic , fast and CIP/SIP compatible .

Difference from top filling

  • No bag opening, no final sealing → time saving .
  • Less risk of contamination.
  • More stable finished product and consistent appearance.

Technical and environmental advantages

A cleaner and safer process

  • Less human handling → hygiene .
  • Less residual air → better conservation .
  • Compatible with ultra-clean environments (foaming recipes included).

Great industrial flexibility

  • Formats from 60 ml to 5 L (up to 5 L depending on the machine).
  • Wide product spectrum: liquids , semi-viscous , foaming , pasty .
  • Machines modulaires : NeoFill PilotNeoFill Expert.

More sustainable packaging

  • Less plastic than a rigid bottle.
  • More energy-efficient transport and storage .
  • Mono-material compatibility to facilitate recycling.

Integration on production line

Cleaning and maintenance

  • Surfaces inox 304/316 easy-clean.
  • CIP (Cleaning in Place) and SIP (Sterilization).
  • Simple and secure interface for operators.

Compatibility and automation

  • Integration with filling-sealing , encapsulation , secondary packaging .
  • Touch control, industrial connectivity , recipe profiles.

Lobe for sensitive/viscous products, peristaltic for hygiene and quick changes, gear for precision on fluid liquids.

What speeds can be achieved?

Depending on formats/recipes, ~ 20 to 30 ppm on 1–2 heads. Actual flow rates depend on viscosity and volume .

Is the process CIP/SIP compatible?

Yes. The NeoFill range is designed for CIP and SIP (depending on configuration), with 304/316 stainless steel surfaces and easy-clean zones.

What volumes and types of caps?

60 ml to 3 L (up to 5 L depending on the machine). Standard spout caps (top center/corner), sealing with torque control.

What products can be refilled?

Juices , sauces , purees , cosmetics , detergents , gels … Foaming version available.

Is the spout bag durable?
