Rychiger was the first company in the world to commercially build filling & sealing machines for hot-fill and retortable products in the food, pet food and pharmaceutical industries. This was in the early 1960s, when the sealing window defined by the available materials and sealants was very narrow, and achieving highest seal integrity, combined with easy peelability, was a demanding challenge.

It’s a matter of fact: cutting & sealing technology and membrane material handling have always been Rychiger’s core business.

Our process approach of short dwell times, high pressure and low temperature gives proven and sustainable results in seal integrity and easy peelability that no other process approach can achieve.

A Rychiger machine with its innovative technology is as precise as a Swiss watch.
All movements are constantly and positively guided, with all process parameters being monitored at all times.

It is the experience achieved over many years, and in the hundreds of machines built, combined with ongoing developments and extensive knowledge about modern packaging materials, that give us the leading edge in filling & sealing technology.
