Foodline Machinery successfully exported 1 standing pouch filling machine to Mexico. This paste packing machine is a suitable packaging solution for refried beans in 500 g premade bags.
Understanding the Customer’s Packaging Requirements
Our team communicated with the Mexican customer to understand the application requirements and discuss the appropriate equipment solution.
- The customer planned to pack refried beans in printed, laminated premade pouches, with a target filling weight of 500 g per bag.
- The specified pouch size was 16.5 × 21 cm, approximately 6.5 × 8.3 inches, with 350-gauge packaging material.
- Refried beans have a thick, paste-like consistency. The filling system therefore needs to suit the product’s flow characteristics and deliver the required quantity into each pouch.
- The customer also emphasized easy cleaning and disinfection. The dosing system needed to be easy to dismantle, and its connections had to match the existing hopper and feeding arrangement.
Choosing the right packaging machine requires more than comparing equipment prices. The machine must match the customer’s product, bag type, production requirements, and available factory conditions.
This helped both sides clarify the project details before moving forward.
Premade Bag Filling and Packaging Solution
Foodline team propose a premade pouch packaging system that combines an automatic pouch-feeding machine with a liquid and paste dosing unit.
It is designed for products such as tomato ketchup, chili sauce, fruit jam, soy sauce, and broad bean paste.
A liquid agitation system helps prevent fine particles from settling, while a liquid level control device supports stable material supply. These features are useful when the product formulation requires agitation to maintain consistency.
The machine uses heat sealing and supports various premade pouch formats, including stand-up pouches, zipper pouches, and flat pouches. The final pouch format must be confirmed against the customer’s packaging requirements.
For food applications, the product-contact components uses food-grade materials to support hygienic processing.

How To Choose a Packaging Machine for Refried Beans
When selecting a refried beans packaging machine, food manufacturers should consider more than the required bag weight.
Key factors include:
- Filling performance: Confirm that the dosing system can handle the product’s thickness and any solid particles.
- Filling accuracy: Test the machine with the actual product to verify the target weight.
- Pouch compatibility: Check the pouch dimensions, material, opening, and sealing requirements.
- Hygienic design: Confirm that product-contact parts can be accessed and cleaned effectively.
- Production speed: Evaluate the achievable output at the required 500 g filling weight.
- Installation requirements: Check hopper connections, compressed air supply, and electrical requirements.
Confirming these details before ordering can help you select equipment that better matches their production needs.
