Automatic Packing of 2L Cooking Oil Pouches: A Case from the Indonesian Market

In the highly competitive Indonesian cooking oil industry, manufacturers face increasing demands for packaging efficiency, hygiene compliance, and product integrity. With the growing popularity of flexible pouch formats for minyak goreng (cooking oil), especially in 2-liter sizes, producers must tackle challenges such as sealing strength, leakage prevention, and reliable date coding.

This article showcases a real packaging solution implemented for an Indonesian client using our rotary premade pouch packing machine, optimized for the local market's operational needs and regulatory standards including halal certification and SNI requirements.

Packaging Specifications Overview

Common Challenges in Indonesian Cooking Oil Packaging

Manufacturers in Indonesia often encounter the following production issues:

• Oil residue contaminating the seal area, leading to leakage during transport or display

• Manual filling and top-down methods causing oil spillage, inconsistency, and hygiene concerns

• Difficulty ensuring a clear and permanent expiry date, especially with ink-based coding in humid conditions

• Labor-intensive processes resulting in low output and high manpower costs

• Lack of compliance with halal production requirements and SNI packaging standards

YASHICUN Solution: Rotary Premade Pouch Packing Machine

To address these issues, YASHICUN supplied a fully automated rotary pouch packing system designed specifically for 2L edible oil packaging. The machine integrates pouch pickup, liquid filling, sealing, and steel stamp coding into one continuous process.

Workflow Overview

1. Automatic Pouch Feeding
The machine handles large, flexible pouches precisely using vacuum pick-up arms, eliminating the need for manual loading.

2. Bottom-Up Liquid Filling
Using a servo-controlled diving nozzle, the machine fills oil from the bottom of the pouch upward. This reduces foaming, eliminates trapped air, and prevents splashing or dripping.

3. Heat Sealing and Cold Pressing
The filled pouch undergoes a double heat sealing process followed by a cold press to flatten the seal. This creates a robust closure that supports the weight and viscosity of palm oil.

4. Steel Stamp Date Coding
During sealing, a steel stamp mechanism automatically embosses the manufacturing and expiry dates directly into the seal. The marking is clean, permanent, and smudge-proof—ideal for Indonesia’s humid climate.

5. Finished Product Discharge
Sealed and dated pouches exit the machine neatly aligned for carton boxing or further processing.

Benefits for Indonesian Edible Oil Producers

• Leak-free packaging even with large-volume liquid content

• Consistent fill accuracy (±0.5%) ensuring compliance and cost control

• Hygienic stainless-steel design meeting food safety and halal production requirements

• Clear, permanent date marking for retail and export compliance

• Improved productivity with up to 40 pouches per minute for 2L formats

• Support for local standards, including integration of SNI-compliant materials and processes

Conclusion

The demand for high-speed, reliable, and hygienic minyak goreng pouch packing solutions continues to grow in Indonesia. By adopting an automatic rotary premade pouch machine, oil producers can significantly reduce manual labor, enhance packaging consistency, and meet increasingly strict halal and food safety regulations.
