UFlex Granted Patent in India for Aseptic Liquid Packaging Machine
UFlex has been granted an Indian patent for its high-speed twin aseptic pack packaging machine designed to fill and seal liquid food products. The invention, protected under the Patents Act of 1970, features a continuous vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) setup with unique design elements aimed at improving output efficiency while reducing space and energy consumption. The patented system includes multiple frames, strip applicator units, and induction sealing for cross-sealing. It also incorporates PLC and HMI panels to enable centralized control over operations. The machine is designed to produce aseptic sealed packs from packaging laminate without interruption. This follows another patent secured in July 2026 for reclosable large bags with tamper-evident features. In addition, UFlex recently launched its first woven polypropylene bag manufacturing plant outside India in Altamira, Mexico, as part of the company's international expansion strategy.
