Product Features

This advanced packaging line incorporates a suite of innovative features designed for peak performance, unwavering reliability, and stringent hygiene.

• High-Speed Multi-Lane Production: Engineered with a multi-lane configuration, the line simultaneously produces a high volume of stick packs or sachets, dramatically boosting output to meet large-scale commercial demands.
• Precision Dosing System: Equipped with ultra-accurate auger or cup filler technology, it guarantees each pouch receives the exact, pre-set weight of powder. This minimizes product giveaway and ensures critical consistency in portion control for nutritional supplements.
• Full Automation & Intelligent Control: The entire process—from film unwinding and forming, precise filling, and hermetic sealing to cutting and final counting—is fully automated. Operation is managed via a user-friendly PLC touchscreen interface, allowing for easy monitoring, recipe management, and rapid changeovers between different pack sizes or formats.
• Superior Seal Integrity: Utilizes advanced sealing technology with precise temperature control to create strong, hermetic, and leak-proof seals on both stick packs and sachets. This is essential for protecting hygroscopic protein powders from moisture and contamination, thereby extending product shelf life.
• Hygienic & Easy-Clean Design: Constructed with food-grade stainless steel (SUS304/316) at all critical product contact points. The design emphasizes smooth surfaces, open frameworks, and quick-disconnect components to facilitate thorough cleaning and maintenance, ensuring compliance with GMP and other stringent hygiene standards.
• Flexible Packaging Compatibility: The line is easily configured to produce both sleek, portable stick packs and larger, single-serve sachets. It handles a wide range of laminate films, including high-barrier metallized materials, enabling attractive, brand-differentiating packaging.
• Integrated Quality Assurance (Optional): Can be seamlessly equipped with inline checkweighers to automatically reject under or overweight packs and metal detectors to ensure final product safety, adding a robust layer of quality control.
