Whole garlic, pickled cloves, garlic powder, and garlic paste each need a different way to measure, fill, and pack. Vicanpack garlic packing machines cover net bags, vacuum premade pouches, sachets, doypacks, bottles, and jars for these different garlic products.

A garlic filling machine can handle paste in bottles or jars, powder in rigid containers, or pickled garlic by weight. For flexible packs, a garlic paste packing machine can fill sachets and premade pouches for retail or foodservice portions. Vicanpack offers separate machines and connected lines based on the garlic form, pack size, filling weight or volume, container type, and planned production rate.

Garlic changes form before it reaches the packing line. Fresh bulbs need weighing and bagging, peeled or pickled cloves need controlled portioning, while garlic paste needs a pump that can handle a dense product with fine garlic particles.

Vicanpack supplies garlic packing machines for pouches, sachets, bottles and jars. The machine choice starts with the form of the garlic, then the filling weight and package.

Garlic paste and ginger garlic paste need a different machine from whole cloves.

The paste may contain fine garlic pieces, oil, water or other ingredients. These affect product flow and the size of the filling passage.

For bottles and jars, a line can run:

Container Feeding → Garlic Paste Filling → Capping → Labeling → Coding

Wide-mouth jars give thick paste more room to enter. Narrow bottle openings may need a smaller nozzle and longer filling time.

A garlic filling machine can use several filling heads when the required bottle output increases.

Small garlic paste portions can use roll-film sachet or VFFS machines.

The machine forms the bag, doses the paste and seals the pack. This format works for condiment portions and smaller retail packs.

For stand-up pouches, zipper bags or Doypack, a premade pouch machine handles the finished empty bag.

A garlic paste packing machine needs enough clearance around the filling outlet so garlic pieces do not collect near the seal.

If the recipe contains visible pieces, send the maximum particle size before choosing the pump and nozzle.

Pickled garlic cloves behave more like a solid product than a paste.

A weighing system can portion the cloves before they enter a pouch, bottle or jar. For products packed with brine or another liquid, the project may need separate dosing for the garlic and liquid.

For example:

Garlic Clove Weighing → Jar Filling → Liquid Addition → Capping → Labeling

This gives better control than trying to dose cloves and liquid through one standard paste filler.

Premade pouches can also hold peeled or pickled garlic. A linear or multihead weigher measures the cloves before the pouch machine fills and seals the bag.

Fresh garlic bulbs need a larger product path.

Net bags work well when the package needs ventilation and customers want to see the product. The machine weighs the required portion and loads the garlic into netting before closing the pack.

Larger pouch machines can also pack garlic bulbs or cloves when the product size fits the bag and filling opening.

For whole garlic, tell Vicanpack the bulb diameter as well as the target bag weight. A machine that handles 1 kg of small cloves may not have enough clearance for the same weight of large bulbs.

Do not choose a machine from the word “garlic” alone.

Whole garlic: weighing + net bag or large pouch packing

Peeled garlic cloves: weighing + premade pouch, bottle or jar filling

Pickled garlic: weighing + bottle/jar or pouch packing, with liquid dosing when required

Garlic paste: pump filling + bottle, jar, sachet or pouch

Garlic powder: auger filling or powder sachet packing

These products can come from the same factory but need different dosing systems.

For garlic paste, viscosity and filling amount control much of the filling time.

For peeled garlic, product size and weighing speed matter more. Whole garlic needs enough time to move through the larger feeding path without bridging.

Other factors include:

• Package dimensions
• Filling weight
• Garlic piece size
• Number of filling heads
• Number of packing lanes
• Pouch or bottle opening
• Sealing or capping time

Vicanpack checks the complete packing process rather than using one speed figure for every garlic product.

Send us:

• Garlic form: whole, peeled, pickled or paste
• Product dimensions or particle size
• Filling weight
• Bottle, jar, sachet or pouch size
• Required packs per minute
• Liquid content for pickled garlic
• Filling temperature for garlic paste, when relevant

Product photos are useful, but a short video often shows much more about how the garlic feeds or flows.

What machine is used for garlic paste?

Garlic paste commonly uses a pump or piston-type filling system. Bottles and jars can connect with capping and labeling equipment, while sachet and pouch machines handle flexible packs.

Can a garlic filling machine handle garlic pieces?

A paste filler can handle small pieces when the pump, valve and nozzle provide enough clearance. Whole cloves need weighing and solid-product feeding equipment instead.

What machine packs peeled garlic into pouches?

A weigher can portion peeled garlic cloves before a premade pouch machine fills and seals the bag. The weighing setup depends on clove size and target weight.

Can Vicanpack pack both garlic paste and garlic powder?

Yes, but they require different filling systems. Garlic paste uses liquid/paste dosing equipment, while garlic powder normally uses an auger filler.
