THE PROBLEM
MOST MACHINES ARE BOUGHT THE WRONG WAY AROUND.
The most advanced-looking system often comes with unseen costs: lengthy onboarding, higher reject rates, complex diagnostics, and expensive imported components.
- Complex ‘one station does everything’ designs
- Long lead times waiting for imported machines
- Slow support across time zones
- Expensive proprietary spare parts
- Downtime, stress, and missed targets

WHAT WE BUILD
Three core product lines designed for specific filling needs.
Spouted Pouch Filler
Ideal for: Baby food, yoghurt, dairy, sauces.
Output: ~20 to 80 pouches/min
Output: ~20 to 80 pouches/min
- 1 Head: ~20/min
- 2 Head: ~40/min
- 4 Head: ~70–80/min
Premade Stand-up Filler
Load → Open → Fill → Seal system for standard pouches.
Ideal for: Sauces, dressings, liquids, spices.
Process: Fully automated rotary or linear pick & place.
Simple, mechanical cam-driven reliability.
Bag-in-Box Filler
For larger format bag systems and “battle packs”.
Ideal for: Bulk liquids, wine, chemicals.
Focus: Reliable filling accuracy and seal integrity.
Robust construction for heavy-duty cycles.
WHY OUR MACHINES WIN
The Outcome You Want
Consistent pouch output, day after day.
01
Speedy Results
Build lead time typically 16–20 weeks. Install & commission designed to be fast and practical.
02
Less Effort & Sacrifice
Tool-less changeovers, clear station separation, and predictable service intervals.
03

Changeover
Tool-less Design
MODULAR BY DESIGN
Many imported machines combine steps to shrink footprint. That sounds good… until there’s an issue. With our approach, loading is loading, filling is filling, and sealing is sealing.
Faster troubleshooting. Less downtime. Easier training.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
Real feedback from manufacturers running APFILL machines on their production lines.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why not rollstock?
Rollstock can make sense at massive scale, but it adds major complexity, cost, and learning curve. Premade pouches are often the smarter move for SMBs who want predictable output and lower risk.
How fast can you run?
Depends on pouch size, fill volume, and viscosity. We’ll estimate speed based on your product, but generally range from 20 to 80+ pouches per minute.
How often does it need servicing?
Routine wear parts (like piston seals) are typically serviced every 6–12 months. Your operators can be trained to do this easily.
Do you support outside South Africa?
Yes. Machines are designed to be serviceable and supportable remotely, and we work with agents/integrators where local support is critical.
What kind of pouches do you fill?
We fill spouted pouches, premade stand-up pouches (doy packs), and bag-in-box formats. Whether it’s a 100ml sachet or a 20L bag-in-box, we have a machine to suit.
What kind of product can you fill?
Our machines handle a wide range of products including water, juices, sauces, oils, dairy, personal care products, and industrial liquids. From thin liquids to thick pastes, we configure the filling system to match your product’s viscosity.
Do you fill chemicals?
Yes. We can build machines with chemical-resistant wetted parts (such as stainless steel 316L, PTFE seals, and chemical-grade tubing) suitable for detergents, cleaning products, agricultural chemicals, and other corrosive or hazardous liquids.
What are the machines made out of?
Our machines are built with food-grade stainless steel (304 or 316L depending on application), hardened steel mechanical components, and quality pneumatic and electrical parts from brands like Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Festo. Everything is designed for durability and easy cleaning.
