Gallant Engineering USA’s Li-Pack 360D is now available. The automation firm provides integrated packaging and palletizing machinery for the food and consumer goods sectors.

The company says its Li-Pack 360D is a patented linear dual-lane packaging machine that doubles throughput while maintaining competitive pricing. First debuted in 2023 with successful pilot implementations, the system achieves 90 pouches per minute, according to the company.

The patented mirror-image dual-lane design runs two synchronized packaging lines in parallel. Gallant Engineering says its linear architecture delivers a minimal footprint. Other features include single weigher operation; modular station configuration for cold seal, vacuum, and nitrogen flushing; automated HMI changeover; and more.

“The Li-Pack 360D emerged from a simple question: Why should manufacturers pay double for doubled capacity?” says Abhijit Salpe, CEO and founder of Gallant Engineering. “By rethinking the fundamental architecture of pouch packaging lines, we’ve engineered a solution that delivers enterprise-level throughput at an accessible price point for mid-market manufacturers.”

The Li-Pack 360D serves manufacturers across snacks, dried fruits, nuts and more. Gallant Engineering says the system has proven effective in fresh produce packaging, filling pouches for fresh dates faster than competing equipment, with customized solutions under development for grapes and tomatoes.

The company says the system is in full production with delivery and installation within 15 weeks.
