Expanding a Mexican Sauce Manufacturer with YILONG’s High-Viscosity Rotary Pouch Packaging System
Background
A well-known sauce manufacturer in Mexico produces a wide range of traditional sauces, including:
Tomato sauce
Spicy chili sauce
Salsa roja
BBQ sauce
Taco marinade
As demand from restaurant chains and retail stores increased, the manufacturer needed a more efficient packaging solution—especially one capable of handling high-viscosity, chunky, or hot-filled sauces.
This led them to partner with YILONG.
Challenges Before Automation
1. Frequent Pump Clogging
High-viscosity sauces with seeds, fibers, or chili flakes clogged their piston filling pumps—causing:
Downtime
Production delays
Inconsistent filling
2. Multi-Size SKU Requirements
The manufacturer needed flexible production for:
30g sample pouches
80g restaurant takeaway pouches
300g–500g retail spout pouches
Their old system could not switch sizes quickly.
3. Inconsistent Filling Accuracy
Sticky sauces caused inaccurate dosing and visible pouch deformities.
4. Inefficient for Hot-Filling
Sauces at 70–85°C caused sealing issues and premature machine wear.
5. Desire for Modern Packaging Formats
They wanted to launch premium spout pouches, which required precise sealing and positioning.
