Pillow Pouch Packing Machine
Nine horizontal flow wrap (HFFS) configurations — same pillow pouch output, different product feeding systems and film paths. Forms pouches from rollstock film, wraps around your product, seals and cuts — all in continuous motion. 20–1,200 pcs/min across candy, snack, bakery, preserved fruit, frozen, and liquid applications.

Which Pillow Packing Machine Fits Your Product?
Nine machines, one principle: form a pillow pouch from rollstock film around your product, seal both ends, and cut. The difference is how the product reaches the film (manual, chain conveyor, candy turnplate, turntable, tidying belt, or liquid pump) and how the film reaches the product (top, under, or rear). Choose by your product type and production line needs below.
General Purpose Flow Wrappers
Versatile pillow wrappers for biscuits, bread, bars, soap, hardware, and semi-soft products. Differentiated by film path — top, under, or rear — which determines how delicately the product can be handled.
SW-350A / 450A / 550A
Multifunctional Pillow Wrapper
Biscuits, bread, candy bars, soap, hardware, dried dates, noodle cakes. Three frame sizes cover products up to 350, 450, or 550 mm wide. Standard top-film path — the workhorse of the pillow pouch catalogue.
- Film Path
- Standard top-film
- Speed
- 20–200 bags/min
- Best For
- General solid products, 3 sizes
SW-350B / 450B
Under-Film Pillow Wrapper
Candy, cookies, snack bars, small hardware, stationery. Film arrives from below the conveyor so product is placed directly onto it — compact footprint and gentler on delicate items than top-film.
- Film Path
- Under-film (below conveyor)
- Speed
- 40–230 bags/min
- Best For
- Compact footprint, small items
SW-150
Rear-Film Pillow Wrapper
Preserved fruit, hawthorn flakes, mochi, jelly candy, moon cake. Film descends from behind the machine onto the product, so the belt stays clean — the solution for sticky or soft items that would otherwise drag on film.
- Film Path
- Rear-film (from above)
- Speed
- 40–230 bags/min
- Best For
- Sticky, soft, or delicate items
Candy & Confectionery Lines
Integrated candy infeed + pillow wrapper combinations for hard candy, toffee, gummy, nougat, and chocolate. Turnplate or sorting-tray feeders replace manual placement for fully automatic throughput.
SW-1000A
Single Candy Turnplate
Hard candy, toffee, chocolate, individually wrapped sweets. A rotary candy turnplate with mold cavities orients each piece before the wrapper — the entry point to automatic candy pillow wrapping.
- Film Path
- Turnplate + top-film
- Speed
- 50–500 bags/min
- Best For
- Single-type candy wrapping
SW-1000B
Dual Candy Turnplate
Two candy types in one pouch — toffee + hard candy, chocolate + gummy, or any mixed assortment. Two synchronized turnplates feed the same wrapper so each finished pouch contains both types in precise ratios.
- Film Path
- Dual turnplates + top-film
- Speed
- 50–400 bags/min
- Best For
- Mixed-content candy packs
SW-300A
Turntable Packaging Line
Candy, nougat, rice bars, regular-shape snacks. A motorized turntable bulk-feeds product from tote bins or upstream equipment into the wrapper — a complete unattended production line rather than a stand-alone wrapper.
- Film Path
- Turntable feeder + top-film
- Speed
- 50–800 bags/min
- Best For
- Full auto candy production line
SW-1200
Three-Servo High Speed
Individual candy, gummy, hard sweet, small chocolate. An 840 mm sorting tray combined with triple-servo film pull and seal jaws produces the catalogue's highest throughput — up to 1,200 pieces per minute.
- Film Path
- Sorting tray + 3-servo
- Speed
- 50–1,200 pcs/min
- Best For
- Highest speed, servo precision
Specialty Packaging Lines
Dedicated configurations for applications the general-purpose and candy platforms cannot handle — auto-sorted bars and cubes, and room-temperature liquid filling straight into pillow pouches.
SW-300B
Tidying Feeding Line
Chocolate bars, chicken stock cubes, nougat bars, shaqima, rice cakes. A six-servo tidying belt aligns bars and cubes end-to-end before the wrapper — fully automatic orientation for products the turnplate cannot handle.
- Film Path
- 6-servo tidying belt + top-film
- Speed
- 50–1,200 bags/min
- Best For
- Bar & block auto-sorting
SW-100
Ice Pop Liquid Filler
Ice pop, sugar water, jelly stick, fruit juice. A volumetric pump doses liquid directly into the pillow pouch — no solid product infeed. The only liquid-capable machine in the pillow pouch catalogue.
- Film Path
- Volumetric pump dosing
- Speed
- 20–200 bags/min
- Best For
- Room-temperature liquid

Select By Pouch Type
Every pillow packing machine produces the same finished format — a pillow pouch with a longitudinal fin seal down the back and transverse end seals at each end. The film wraps horizontally around the product; the seal pattern is inherent to the HFFS process.
Fin Seal Pillow
Back Seal Pillow
Need 3-side seal sachets, stick packs, or 4-side sachets? Those formats are made on vertical machines — see our Collar Type Packing Machine or Full Automatic Vertical Packing Machine categories. For doypack / zipper / spout pouches, see Premade Bag Packing Machine.
Select By Industry
Configurations for confectionery, bakery, snack, frozen dessert, preserved fruit, fresh produce, and personal care industries.

All nine machines share the same four-step horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) cycle. The variable is how product enters the wrapper and how the film reaches the product — top-film, under-film, or rear-film.
01
Film Unwind & Feeding
Rollstock film (OPP/CPP, OPP/PE, PET/PE, BOPP, or composite laminate) mounts on a film shaft at the rear of the machine. A servo motor pulls the film through tension rollers that maintain consistent web tension. A photoelectric eye tracks print-registration marks on the film so that branded graphics, barcodes, and batch panels land in the correct position on every pouch — no manual film adjustment during the run.
02
Product Infeed & Film Forming
Product enters the machine on a belt conveyor, chain conveyor, or automatic feeding system (candy turnplate, turntable, tidying belt — depending on model). The flat film passes over a forming shoulder that wraps it into a continuous tube around the product. On standard top-film models the film arrives from above; on the SW-350B it arrives from below; on the SW-150 it descends from behind. Regardless of path, the film tube encases each product before any sealing begins.
03
Longitudinal (Center) Seal
Heated center-seal rollers press the overlapping film edges together along the length of the tube, forming the continuous back seam — the fin seal that gives the pillow pouch its name. Temperature and pressure are independently adjustable from the HMI touch screen so the same machine handles thin OPP/CPP for candy and thicker PET/PE for fresh produce without retooling.
04
End Seal, Cut & Discharge
Rotary or box-motion end-seal jaws clamp across the tube, sealing the front of one pouch and the rear of the next simultaneously. A built-in knife severs the two pouches. An optional date coder prints batch number and expiry on the seal. Finished pillow pouches discharge onto the output conveyor for collection, weight check, or downstream case packing. The HMI stores up to 100 product recipes for fast changeover.
