Product Features

This automated filling system incorporates cutting-edge engineering to deliver superior performance, reliability, and flexibility throughout the packaging process.

• Multi-Lane, High-Speed Volumetric Filling: The system’s core is a precision-engineered multi-lane volumetric filling mechanism. It enables simultaneous, high-speed packaging across multiple lanes, dramatically increasing production throughput. The system maintains exceptional filling accuracy within a tolerance of ±1%, ensuring every single sachet or stick pack contains the exact specified amount of product, which is critical for cost control and consumer satisfaction.
• Dual-Format Versatility with Quick Changeover: Designed for maximum flexibility, the system seamlessly handles both flat sachet and upright stick pack formats. It features quick-change tooling and components, allowing producers to switch between different packet styles and sizes with minimal downtime. This adaptability enables manufacturers to respond swiftly to varied market demands and manage diverse product lines on a single, efficient platform.
• Advanced Sealing and Film Control Technology: Utilizing a servo-driven film feeding system, the line ensures precise material registration and consistent tension control for optimal packaging material usage. The integrated sealing jaws employ advanced temperature control technology, creating strong, hermetic, and leak-proof seals even with challenging viscous products like ketchup. This guarantees ultimate product integrity, prevents spoilage, and extends shelf life.
• Intelligent PLC Control with User-Friendly HMI: The entire operation is centralized through an intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI) powered by a robust programmable logic controller (PLC). This system allows for easy setup of all operational parameters, real-time monitoring of production speed, output counts, and system diagnostics. It facilitates straightforward operation, reduces training time, and simplifies maintenance procedures.
• Hygienic Stainless Steel Construction: Constructed with food-grade stainless steel (SUS304) at all product contact points, the system adheres to the highest international sanitary standards. Its streamlined design features smooth, polished surfaces and minimal crevices, enabling fast, thorough, and effective cleaning and sanitization to comply with strict food safety and hygiene protocols.
• Integrated Quality Assurance Systems: The line can be equipped with integrated quality inspection modules, such as vision systems or checkweighers. These systems continuously monitor critical parameters like fill level, seal integrity, and print registration. Any substandard packets are automatically identified and ejected from the production line, ensuring that only perfect, consistent products proceed to final packaging, safeguarding brand reputation.
