Automated Multi-Lane Packaging System for Precise Tea Powder Sachets and Stick Packs

Automated Multi-Lane Packaging System for Precise Tea Powder Sachets and Stick Packs

Packmate (GuangDong) Co., Ltd. introduces its advanced Automated Multi-Lane Packaging System, a pinnacle of engineering designed specifically for the high-volume, high-precision packaging of tea powders into sachets and stick packs. This system represents the culmination of over three decades of specialized expertise in pouch packaging technology, now applied to meet the exacting standards of the global tea industry. It is a fully integrated, turnkey solution that automates the entire packaging process from bulk powder feeding to the final output of perfectly sealed, coded, and counted pouches. By minimizing manual intervention and maximizing throughput, this line is engineered to deliver unmatched production efficiency, consistent product quality, and significant operational cost savings, making it the ideal cornerstone for scalable and reliable packaging operations for producers of all sizes.

Product Features

The Automated Multi-Lane Packaging System is built upon a foundation of precision, speed, and adaptability. Every component is designed to work in seamless harmony, ensuring reliable performance 24/7 under demanding production schedules.

• High-Speed Multi-Lane Production: Engineered with multiple independent, parallel packaging lanes that operate simultaneously, this system exponentially increases output compared to traditional single-lane machines, making it perfect for fulfilling large-scale orders without compromise on speed or precision.
• Exceptional Dosing Accuracy: Incorporates highly precise auger fillers or volumetric cup dispensers controlled by advanced servo systems. This guarantees that every single sachet or stick pack contains the exact, pre-set weight of tea powder, ensuring strict portion control, regulatory compliance, and consistent customer experience.
• Format Versatility and Flexibility: Easily configurable to produce a variety of pouch styles, including flat-bottom stand-up stick packs and flat or gusseted sachets. It handles a wide range of high-barrier laminate materials, such as aluminum foil composites, to provide optimal protection against moisture, oxygen, and light, preserving product freshness and aroma.
• End-to-End Automation: The system features complete automation from powder feeding and de-aeration, through film forming, precise filling, hermetic sealing, date/batch coding, to final counting and collation. This integrated approach drastically reduces labor requirements, minimizes product handling for enhanced hygiene, and ensures a smooth, continuous workflow.
• Intelligent Control and Monitoring: Centrally controlled by a user-friendly, multi-language touch-screen HMI (Human-Machine Interface). Operators can manage recipes, monitor real-time production data (speed, output, efficiency), perform diagnostics, and execute quick changeovers between different tea blends and pack sizes with minimal downtime.
• Robust and Sanitary Construction: Built with durability and food safety as priorities. Critical product contact parts are constructed from food-grade stainless steel (SS304/SS316), featuring a smooth, sanitary design that is easy to clean and maintain, ensuring full compliance with international standards like FDA and CE.
• Integrated Quality Assurance: Equipped with sophisticated sensors and optional vision inspection systems. These automatically detect and reject defective pouches—such as those with incomplete seals, incorrect fill weight, or printing errors—ensuring that only flawless packages proceed to the final collection stage, guaranteeing zero-defect output.
