Vertical packaging machines

Sachet and stick packaging machine

The sachet and stick packaging machine forms, fills and closes single-dose sachets from a film reel, in versions with 1 to 12 lanes and up to 300 sticks per minute. It is designed specifically for these packs and handles powder, liquids, granules or solids from 3 to 50 ml depending on the dosing unit fitted: auger filler, liquid pump or others.

Three-roller sealing

Vertical sealing roller, horizontal sealing roller and cooling roller, with reinforced anti-leak points on the seals.

One machine for any product

Liquid, granules, powder or solid. The dosing unit is chosen to suit the product, for example an auger filler for powder or a pump for liquids.

Choice of easy-open

Straight-line easy-open notch or micro-perforation, and different jaw finishes depending on the pack.

Hygiene and cleaning

Structure in 304 stainless steel and product-contact parts in 304 stainless steel and engineering plastic. Hygienic version for demanding environments.

How it works

Unwinding
A single film reel feeds the machine; the film is slit into as many strips as the machine has lanes. Optional automatic film splicing.
Multi-lane forming
Each strip is wrapped around its own forming tube to make the stick, or folded and sealed to form the sachet.
Dosing
One dosing unit per lane deposits the 3 to 50 ml dose: an auger filler for powder, a pump for liquids or others depending on the product.
Roller sealing
Vertical sealing roller, horizontal sealing roller and cooling roller, with PID temperature control from the screen and reinforced anti-leak points.
Cutting and easy-open
The jaws cut the packs on each lane and mark the easy-open notch, straight-line or micro-perforated.
Outfeed
The sticks or sachets leave on a conveyor; an optional collator groups them for subsequent cartoning.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a stick and a sachet?

A stick is a narrow, elongated tube, 11 to 45 mm wide and 30 to 180 mm long. A sachet is a flat 3-side or 4-side seal pack, 40 to 85 mm wide and 40 to 160 mm long. Both hold 3 to 50 ml.

What speed does it reach?

For sticks, 50 packs per minute per lane, up to 300 per minute on the 12-lane version. For sachets, 40 to 60 per minute.

How many lanes can the machine have?

From 1 to 12. The usual versions have 1, 6 and 12 lanes; more lanes means more output from a single film reel.

What products can it pack?

Powder, liquids, granules and solids. The dosing unit is chosen to suit the product, for example an auger filler for powder or a pump for liquids.

How is the pack sealed?

With three rollers, one for vertical sealing, one for horizontal sealing and one for cooling, and seals with reinforced anti-leak points. The temperature is PID-controlled from the screen.

Can it include easy-open and coding?

Yes. The easy-open notch can be straight-line or micro-perforated, and laser, TTO or inkjet coders can be integrated to customer choice.

Is it suitable for demanding environments?

Yes. The structure and product-contact parts are 304 stainless steel and there is a hygienic version for demanding environments.

Is this the right machine for your product?

Tell us what you pack, in which format and at what speed. An engineer will reply with a proposal.
