en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish flexible packaging solutions provider Mespack has unveiled its latest HKE series horizontal packaging platform, specifically designed for high-speed flexible pouch packaging, supporting both rollstock and premade pouch configurations. The equipment will make its debut at interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany (Hall 6, Stand B73).
At the core of the HKE series is an electronically controlled vertical carousel system that securely grips and controls each pouch throughout the entire production cycle. According to Mespack, this architecture helps enhance speed while ensuring precision, seal quality, and product integrity. The horizontal packaging platform is designed for continuous rollstock production, utilizing a vertical electronic carousel with asynchronous motion to achieve consistent pouch positioning in duplex, triplex, and quadruplex configurations. Depending on the configuration, the premade pouch version (HKE SC) can reach speeds of up to 225 pouches per minute, while the rollstock version can achieve 240 pouches per minute. An integrated electrical cabinet and optimized station layout also reduce the equipment's footprint.
The HKE series enables automatic adjustments through a human-machine interface and Mespack's Athena software platform, supporting fast, repeatable changeovers. Parameter modifications can be completed with minimal operator input: changeover time for the premade pouch configuration takes only 5 minutes, while format changes for the rollstock configuration take approximately 20 minutes. The horizontal packaging platform is available in rollstock, premade pouch, or combined configurations, accommodating various product types such as powders, granules, liquids, solids, and capsules, and supports recyclable materials, hygienic design, and washdown options. It can also integrate process control options like intelligent digital sealing and in-line thermal imaging inspection.
The HKE series is built on Mespack's Athena digital ecosystem, featuring recipe management, data monitoring, remote assistance, and preventive maintenance capabilities. Guillem Lloret, Innovation Director at Mespack, stated: "The key innovation behind the HKE series is the electronic vertical carousel with asynchronous motion. By decoupling the transport, filling, and sealing movements, we can optimize each station independently, rather than forcing the entire machine to run at the same rhythm. This synchronization allows us to combine higher speeds with superior pouch stability, even in continuous rollstock production."
