01
Broken grains
Long drops and hard transfers crack rice grains. Broken grains lower the grade of the pack.
What we do · Drop heights and transfer points are set for your rice and confirmed in the test.
Rice Packaging
Choose the package first, then match conveying, weighing and output to your rice. Our Wide-Spout pouch fillers, SVC260, VP and VGT baggers and both pendulum bucket conveyors are used for rice.
Packages: 1–5 kg spouted pouches, pillow and gusset bags or quad-seal bags
Rice Packaging Challenges
Six points that decide whether a rice line runs well.
02
Dust and fines
Rice carries dust and bran fines. They build up in buckets and hoppers and can reach the seal or the spout.
What we do · Fines are checked on the conveyor, the filler and the bagger with your product.
03
Volume against weight
Bucket conveyors are rated by volume and packing lines by weight. Rice varieties differ in bulk density.
What we do · We convert the conveyor capacity to kg/h with your actual bulk density.
04
Large fill weights
Packs of 1–5 kg take longer to fill and need a steady feed so the weight stays on target.
What we do · The filler model and the feed are chosen for your target weight and output.
05
Spout, cap and pouch loading
Spouted pouches need the right spout, cap and pouch loading, or the line stops.
What we do · The 33 mm spout, your cap and the pouch loading mode are checked with your pouch and cap samples.
06
Keeping rice fresh
Some rice packs are flushed with nitrogen or evacuated, and some caps are induction-sealed.
What we do · Nitrogen, air evacuation and induction sealing are options on the Wide-Spout fillers.
Recommended Packaging Route
The same conveying feeds whichever packaging machine your package needs.
- 01
Pendulum Bucket Conveyor
Hygienic or Standard model lifts the rice to the filler or weigher
- 02
Weighing
Built into the Wide-Spout filler; a multihead weigher for the baggers
- 03
Packaging Machine
Wide-Spout, SVC260, VP or VGT, chosen by the package
- 04
Inspection
Checkweighing and contaminant checks
- 05
Case Packing and Palletizing
Packs into cases, cases onto pallets
Wide-Spout fillers weigh, fill and cap in one machine. The SVC260, VP and VGT take their dose from a multihead weigher.
LINYOPACK machines
Modules Matched to the Product
Start from the package: each packaging machine below is labelled with the pouches or bags it makes. Handling, weighing, inspection and end-of-line modules complete the line.
Packaging machines
Wide-Spout Pouch Filling and Capping
Listed for rice. 33 mm angled spout. Three models: 450–700, 1000–1200 and 1200–1400 pouches/hour.*
SVC260 Continuous-Motion VFFS
Continuous motion for higher outputs. Bags up to 260 mm wide and 400 mm long, up to 160 bags/min.*
VP Series Compact VFFS
Compact baggers for lower outputs. 20–90 bags/min,* film up to 520 mm wide.
VGT Series Quad-Seal VFFS
Front panel up to 300 mm wide, up to 80 bags/min.*
*Machine references. Actual output depends on product, fill weight, package and film.
Around the packaging machine
Pendulum Bucket Conveyors
Hygienic and Standard models, both listed for rice, seeds and pulses. 10–20 m³/h and up to 25 m lift, in Z-type and C-type layouts. We check the capacity in kg/h with your bulk density.
Multihead Weighing
For the SVC260, VP and VGT. Configured around the grain, the bulk density, the target weight and the dose rate the bagger needs.
Inspection
Checkweighing, metal detection, combined units, or X-ray where the application calls for it. The method is chosen once the product and package are known.
Case Packing and Palletizing
Robotic case packing and palletizing, integrated around the finished pouch or bag, the case pattern, the case rate and the pallet pattern.
Define Sustainable Good Output
A rice line runs at the pace of its slowest stage. The conveyor is rated in m³/h, so we convert it to kg/h with your bulk density and compare it with what the packing line needs.
Conveyor supplykg/h = m³/h × Bulk densityLine demandkg/h = Good packs per hour × Fill weight
Supply must stay above demand. We set the final line target from product tests and agreed FAT conditions.

The machines, industry, package format and full system behind this application.
Which LINYOPACK machines are used for rice?
The Wide-Spout pouch fillers, the SVC260, VP and VGT baggers and both pendulum bucket conveyors.
Which packaging machine should I choose?
Start from the package. 1–5 kg spouted pouches: Wide-Spout. Pillow and side gusset bags: the SVC260 for higher outputs or the VP series for a compact line. Quad-seal bags: the VGT series.
What fill weights does the Wide-Spout family cover?
1–5 kg, in stand-up pouches with a 33 mm angled spout.
Which Wide-Spout model has the highest output?
The SPFC-1200R, with a machine reference of 1200–1400 pouches per hour. The line output is set from your rice, pouch, loading mode and downstream scope.
Can nitrogen or induction sealing be added?
Yes. Nitrogen or air evacuation and induction sealing are options on the Wide-Spout fillers, chosen for your product and pouch.
Can the bag line run 160 bags/min with rice?
160 bags/min is the SVC260's machine maximum. The output of a rice line is set from the actual product, weighing, bag and line conditions.
How is the conveyor matched to the packing line?
We convert the conveyor m³/h to kg/h with your actual bulk density, then compare it with the line demand: good packs per hour × fill weight.
Can inspection, case packing and palletizing be added?
Yes. Checkweighing, metal detection, robotic case packing and palletizing can be integrated around the pouch or bag, the case and the pallet.
