Product Features

This automated stick pack line incorporates a suite of advanced technologies engineered for peak performance and gentle product handling in demanding snack production environments.

• Ultra-High-Speed Multi-Lane Operation: Engineered with multiple configurable parallel lanes, the system dramatically increases output, capable of producing thousands of stick packs per hour to meet the most demanding production schedules and market peaks.
• Gentle and Precise Product Handling: The line features specialized vibratory feeders, bucket elevators, and precision-guided channels designed to transport and orient fragile potato chips and snacks gently, minimizing breakage and preserving product integrity, appearance, and quality.
• Integrated Nitrogen Flushing System: An advanced gas flushing system is incorporated to displace oxygen within each stick pack immediately before sealing. This critical technology significantly extends product shelf life, maintains crispness, and ensures freshness from the production line to the end consumer.
• High-Accuracy Weighing & Filling: Utilizing precision multi-head weighers or volumetric fillers, the system guarantees consistent and accurate fill weights for every single stick pack. This ensures strict compliance with regulatory standards and minimizes product giveaway, directly improving profitability.
• Robust Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) Technology: At the heart of the line are durable and high-speed FFS machines. These units reliably form the stick pack from roll film, accurately fill it with product, and apply a hermetic, tamper-evident seal, ensuring package integrity and consumer safety.
• Complete End-to-End Automation: The line offers full synchronization, integrating automatic carton erectors, collators for grouping stick packs, and case packers. This enables a seamless, continuous flow from primary packaging to secondary packaging with minimal manual intervention, reducing labor costs and bottlenecks.
• Intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI) Control: The entire system is centrally managed via a user-friendly HMI panel. This allows for straightforward operation, rapid changeovers between different pack sizes or product types, and real-time monitoring of production data, efficiency metrics, and machine diagnostics for proactive maintenance.
