AZCO Corp. has announced the launch of the Securus VS 610 Vertical Pouch Making Machine, a flexible, USA-made packaging solution designed to support medical device manufacturers and healthcare suppliers seeking greater control over pouch production, faster changeovers and seamless integration into automated packaging lines

As manufacturers across medical, industrial, electronics and specialty product markets face increasing pressure to reduce lead times, manage packaging costs and respond quickly to changing product requirements, the VS 610 offers an alternative to relying on premade pouches. The machine allows users to produce secure, sealed pouches on demand using rollstock materials such as Tyvek®, poly films and foils, eliminating the need to stock multiple pouch sizes and materials. This reduces long lead times and costs while increasing flexibility for manufacturers.

Designed for Flexible Packaging Environments

In the present manufacturing environment providers need to be able to support a wide range of packaging applications where flexibility, repeatability and reliable sealing performance are critical. Having a compact vertical machine simplifies your operations while maintaining consistent pouch quality across materials and formats.

The system supports pouch sizes ranging from 2" x 2" up to 6" x 10", making it suitable for a variety of products, kits and components. Proven sealing technology with built-in validation outputs ensures package integrity, while optional inspection features are available for applications that require additional process control.

Quick-Change Tooling for High-Mix, Low-Volume Production

Many medical device manufacturers operate in high-mix, low-to-medium-volume production environments where frequent changeovers are unavoidable. This challenge is overcome with tool-less quick-changeovers that allow operators to switch pouch sizes in under a minute.

Setup is straightforward: slot in the right tool, enter the bag length, and begin production. This rapid changeover capability minimizes downtime and makes it practical to run multiple products or SKUs on a single machine without sacrificing efficiency.

Built for Automation and Line Integration

In addition to standalone operation, the VS 610 has been designed to integrate easily into automated packaging lines. The system can be paired with robotic loading, scale feeders, conveyors, and downstream equipment, allowing manufacturers to build scalable, semi-automated, or fully automated solutions.

Optional configurations include horizontal feed arrangements, infeed and takeaway conveyors, and reject handling systems. These capabilities make the VS 610 well-suited for manufacturers looking to incrementally automate packaging operations without investing in large, inflexible machinery.

Reducing Costs and Improving Responsiveness

By producing pouches on demand, manufacturers can significantly reduce reliance on premade pouch inventory. This approach eliminates long lead times, lowers material waste, reduces storage requirements, reduces labor costs to load and seal and helps prevent obsolescence when product specifications change.

A simple-to-use machine provides a cost-effective path to bringing pouch production in-house, particularly for medical device companies balancing flexibility and time.

Manufactured in the United States and backed by AZCO Corp.'s 40+ years of engineering expertise, the VS 610 is designed to be safe, reliable, and serviceable.
