Product Features

This machine integrates state-of-the-art engineering to deliver unmatched performance and reliability. Its core advantages are built around speed, accuracy, and versatility.

High-Speed Multi-Lane Operation: The machine features multiple parallel lanes, allowing for the simultaneous production of several stick packs per cycle. This multi-lane design dramatically increases output, making it ideal for large-scale production runs where maximizing throughput is essential.

Precision Dosing System: Equipped with advanced servo-driven auger fillers or volumetric cup fillers, the machine ensures exceptional weighing accuracy and consistency for each stick pack. This eliminates product giveaway and maintains strict portion control, which is crucial for cost management and consumer satisfaction.

Versatile Packaging Material Compatibility: It is engineered to work seamlessly with a wide range of heat-sealable laminates, including PET/AL/PE, PET/PE, and other composite films. This flexibility allows brands to choose materials that best suit their product’s barrier requirements for freshness, aroma, and shelf life.

User-Friendly PLC Control System: The entire operation is managed by an intuitive programmable logic controller (PLC) with a color touchscreen HMI (Human-Machine Interface). Operators can easily set parameters, monitor production in real-time, and access diagnostic information, simplifying changeovers and minimizing downtime.

Robust and Hygienic Construction: Built with food-grade stainless steel (SUS304) in all product contact areas, the machine guarantees durability, easy cleaning, and compliance with international food safety standards (e.g., FDA, CE).

Key features include:

• Multi-track design for unparalleled production capacity.
• Servo motor-driven systems for precise motion control and energy efficiency.
• Automatic film feeding, forming, filling, sealing, and cutting processes.
• Integrated safety guards and fault alarm systems for operator protection.
• Optional accessories like date coders, batch printers, and nitrogen flushing systems for enhanced functionality.
