Description

Beverage spout pouch manufacturing system {Beverage spout pouch manufacturing system}

The present invention relates to a beverage spout pouch manufacturing system, and more specifically, to a beverage spout pouch manufacturing system implemented to continuously manufacture beverage spout pouches by combining a spout with a beverage pouch.

The spout through which discharge takes place is fused to the flexible packaging film constituting the pouch, and the cap on one end of the spout has a structure that is easily detached.

The spout of the conventional pouch has a fused portion formed at one end of a container made of a synthetic resin film or a metal film, and a shoulder that serves as a passage for filling and discharging the contents is formed in the fused portion, and the shoulder has a neck and a cap. This is combined. In addition, a sealing portion is provided at one end of the spout pouch composed of the shoulder, neck, and cap to improve watertightness and prevent contents from being discharged during transportation or handling.

In the case of the conventional pouch spout coupling device, the structure was complicated due to structural problems in the manufacturing device, and as manufacturing time increased, the manufacturing efficiency of the spout pouch was reduced and the manufacturing cost was high.

Meanwhile, the above-mentioned background technology is technical information that the inventor possessed for deriving the present invention or acquired in the process of deriving the present invention, and cannot necessarily be said to be known technology disclosed to the general public before filing the application for the present invention. .
