Liquid Pouch Squeezing & Recovery Machines

A liquid pouch recovery machine recovers the liquid or semi-liquid product from sealed pouches a plant cannot sell, such as production rejects, expired stock and damaged or returned lots, and shreds the wrapper in the same pass. The product drains into collection vessels for treatment, disposal or reuse, and the wrapper goes to controlled disposal or recycling. FMCG, cosmetics, pharma and food plants use it so that branded packs never leave the plant intact.

Sealed pouches of liquid and semi-liquid products, such as 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 and DS3003 ECO take pouches up to their 300 mm feed width, and the DS4005 extends that to 400 mm. If your pouch or product is unusual, bring samples for a trial, because 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, 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.

Work in kilograms per shift. The DS3003 ECO at 40–50 kg/hr clears roughly 300–400 kg in an 8-hour shift, the DS3003 at 60–90 kg/hr roughly 500–700 kg, and the DS4005 at 100–120 kg/hr roughly 800–1,000 kg. Count your monthly reject and expiry volumes, divide by working days, and size with headroom, because destruction jobs arrive in batches, not evenly.

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

It depends on the model, the steel grade and accessories such as 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 with a firm quotation.

Yes. Bring your actual pouches for a trial on the machine you are considering. A trial settles recovery percentage, throughput and output-handling questions better than any brochure, especially for unusual viscosities.
