ABOUT TOPACK
About Topack
Solving packaging challenges with technology.
Nearly all Topack packaging machines are made to order. With technologies honed as a team of engineers, we design each machine to suit the customer's product and production site.
Technology is people. Unique technologies honed by a team of engineers.
A packaging machine is a mass of technical know-how, and it is people who create that know-how and refine its precision. Since our founding, Topack has remained a company of engineers, bringing ultra-high-speed automatic filling and packaging machines to the world.
- 11971: 300 pouches/min
Successfully prototyped a high-speed 3-side seal automatic filling and packaging machine, named the R-type.
- 21973: 500 pouches/min
Improved the R-type to achieve filling and packaging at 500 pouches/min. Delivered the first unit.
- 31996: 1,000 pouches/min
Developed the SR-66 rotary ultra-high-speed 3-side seal machine.
Solving seal-quality problems by isolating their causes.
Film edge breaks, seal wrinkles, sagging packages. We design and control our packaging machines so that the seal-quality issues troubling many customers can be isolated by cause and resolved.
Vertical and horizontal seals are adjusted independently to address a wide range of defects.
An adjustable filling angle delivers both faster filling and reliable product drop.
From our large selection of chutes, we propose the best one for the characteristics of your powder.
Hopper angle, shape and material are also optimized based on our experience.
Research that anticipates social change, and development that makes custom design possible.
Packaging machines are highly sensitive to changes in society. As a team in which one-third of employees are engineers, we keep researching and developing what packaging machines can do for a sustainable society.
- 1Research addressing environmental issues
With an eye on the problem of ocean plastic waste, we are co-developing new sealing technologies for sustainable packaging with packaging material manufacturers.
- 2Next-generation packaging innovation
To prepare for labor shortages, we are researching fundamental technologies that make packaging lines more efficient and less labor-intensive, such as AI-based predictive maintenance.
- 3Packaging development for new products
Our designers visit customers from the development stage, creating packaging together to suit the forms of new food and pharmaceutical products.
Quality is built by inspecting even the smallest parts, one by one.
A packaging machine can contain more than 10,000 parts. We inspect them to the same standards as our partner companies, and complete assembly and adjustment while sharing information with the customer.
- 1Same inspection standards as our partners
We created guidelines to standardize inspections at partner companies, and we share problems and countermeasures with them.
- 2Double inspection in our QC room
Delivered parts are inspected one by one to the same standards.
- 3Pre-shipment quality judgment
Everyone involved checks appearance, specifications and functions before the machine is delivered.
Many patented technologies, born from solving problems.
Topack's technology always starts with solving a problem. The products we have developed have given rise to many patented technologies.
- 157Japanese patents
- 4Japanese utility models
- 15Japanese design registrations
- 7Overseas patents
- 4Overseas design registrations
