Product Features

The machine distinguishes itself through a suite of advanced features that guarantee reliability and superior packaging quality.

• High-Speed Multi-Lane Operation: Capable of running multiple lanes simultaneously, the machine dramatically increases production throughput compared to single-lane units, making it ideal for fulfilling large-scale orders efficiently.
• Precision Volumetric or Weighing Filling System: Equipped with highly accurate servo-driven fillers, it ensures each stick pack receives the exact pre-set amount of product, crucial for cost control and compliance with net content regulations, especially for valuable mixed fruit blends.
• Excellent Sealing Integrity: Utilizes robust thermal sealing jaws that create strong, hermetic seals on various laminates, including metallized films. This effectively locks in freshness, prevents contamination, and extends the shelf life of the dried fruits.
• User-Friendly PLC Touchscreen Interface: The intuitive control panel allows for quick parameter setup, recipe storage, and real-time monitoring of production speed, count, and diagnostics, simplifying operation and changeovers.
• Flexible Packaging Compatibility: Designed to handle a wide range of roll-fed packaging materials, enabling customization for different pack sizes, shapes, and print designs to meet specific branding needs.
• Hygienic Stainless Steel Construction: Built with food-grade 304 stainless steel on all contact surfaces, the machine meets stringent sanitary standards and is easy to clean and maintain.
• Integrated Date Coding & Batch Printing: An inline printer can be incorporated to automatically imprint expiration dates, lot codes, or barcodes onto each pack, ensuring traceability.
