Falcon Nostromo "End-of-Line Pouch Packing Machine (Pre-made Bags) 95x140 mm
EUROPE (Western and Northern)
Falcon Nostromo
Custom-Made Pouch Packing Machine
1. General Description
The Nostromo is a custom-engineered, fully automated pouch packing system designed
for high-speed, multi-line production with full traceability and minimal operator intervention.
It is built as a modular platform consisting of three integrated units:
1. Main Module – Core pouch handling, quality control, and communication unit
2. Box Forming Module – Automatic forming and preparation of boxes
3. Box Collector Module – Final box handling and palletizing unit
The modular design allows flexible configuration and scalability for different production
environments. The Main Module is easily movable and can be re-deployed across multiple
converter or packing lines within the facility.
The module’s mobility system and quick-connect interfaces are designed so that a single
operator can safely and independently perform relocation and setup without the need for
technical support or additional lifting equipment. This ensures maximum flexibility and utilization
of the Nostromo system across production lines.
