Liquid Pouch Squeezing & Recovery Machine — DS3003 / DS4005

Sealed pouches of liquid and semi-liquid products — shampoo, hair dye, juice, puree and similar FMCG, cosmetic, pharma and food items. Typical feeds are production rejects, expired stock and damaged or returned lots. The DS3003 platform takes pouches up to its 300 mm feed width; the DS4005 extends that to 400 mm. If your pouch or product is unusual, bring samples for a trial — viscosity decides recovery more than pouch shape does.

60–95%, depending on the viscosity of the product. Thin liquids like juice squeeze out at the high end; thick pastes and purees retain more in the wrapper. The recovered product drains into collection vessels — SS304 30-litre vessels on standard variants — where you decide its fate: treatment, disposal or reuse under your own control.

It leaves the machine shredded and drained, separated from the product. Drained wrapper material can go to controlled disposal or into a recycling stream — multilayer laminate wrappers follow the same routes as other laminate waste, typically co-processing or energy recovery, while mono-material wrappers can be recycled conventionally. Either way, branded packaging never leaves your plant intact.

SS304 is the standard food-grade choice and suits most shampoo, juice and detergent streams. Step up to SS316 when the product is aggressive — acidic juices, salty or chemically active formulations — or when your quality system specifies 316 for product-contact surfaces. The DS4005 MID splits the difference: SS316 on contact parts where it matters, SS304 elsewhere. Tell us your product and we will recommend honestly.

The DS3003ECO keeps the same squeeze-and-shred process, cutting grade and safety interlocking, but runs a 5 HP squeezing motor instead of 7.5 HP — 40–50 kg/hr instead of 60–90 — and collects into plastic bins instead of SS304 vessels. It is the budget entry point for plants with modest reject volumes; the full DS3003 and DS4005 earn their premium on throughput and collection hygiene.

Work in kilograms per shift. A DS3003 at 60–90 kg/hr clears roughly 500–700 kg across an 8-hour shift; the DS4005 at 100–120 kg/hr handles 800–1,000 kg. Count your monthly reject and expiry volumes, divide by working days, and size with headroom — destruction jobs arrive in batches, not evenly. Send us your numbers and we will recommend the platform and variant.

It depends on the platform (DS3003 vs DS4005), the steel grade (SS304, SS316 or the ECO build) and accessories like the feeding platform — so we quote against your specification rather than publish one number. Send your product type and volumes through the enquiry form and our team replies within one working day with a firm quotation.

Yes — bring your actual pouches to our works in Andheri East, Mumbai, and watch them processed on the machine you are considering. A trial settles recovery percentage, throughput and output-handling questions better than any brochure, especially for unusual viscosities.
