What the Machine Does

• Forms, fills, and seals stick packs or flat sachets of instant beverage powders.

• Runs on 4 or 8 parallel lanes to multiply output while keeping a compact footprint.

• Uses an auger filler with servo control to keep fill weights precise for free-flowing powders.

---

Who It’s For

• Tea & coffee brands launching instant lines or scaling existing SKUs.

• Co-packers needing flexible lane counts and fast changeovers.

• R&D and private label teams piloting multiple pack sizes without product loss.

---

Key Product Highlights

• Speed: up to 65 sachets per lane per minute (application-dependent).

  • 4 lanes ≈ 260 sachets/min; 8 lanes ≈ 520 sachets/min.

• Accuracy: ±0.5–1.0 g with servo-driven auger and real-time feedback.

• Versatility: handles instant green tea, coffee, matcha blends, premix latte/cappuccino powders, and functional beverage mixes.

• Reliability: industrial PLC + HMI touchscreen, recipe storage, production counters, alarm logs.

• Hygiene: food-grade SS304 contact parts standard; SS316L available for corrosive/acidic blends.

Technical Specifications (Typical Range)

• Lanes: 4 or 8 (modular, upgradable).

• Sachet Size: width 30–80 mm, length 40–140 mm (format-set dependent).

• Fill Range: 2–25 g (other ranges configurable with auger change parts).

• Film Types: OPP/CPP, PET/PE, paper/PE, aluminum-laminated; heat-seal or cold-seal per spec.

• Film Roll Width: up to 600 mm (varies by lane count and format).

• Sealing: vertical + horizontal heat seals; optional euroslot, tear notch, code window.

• Controls: PLC + 7–10" HMI, servo auger, PID temperature control, photocell for eye-mark tracking.

• Utilities: 3-phase 380–415V, 50/60Hz; power 7–12 kW; compressed air 0.6 MPa, 300–500 L/min.

• Construction: SS304 frame & guards; IP ratings per zone; dust-containment covers.

• Footprint: approx. (L) 1.6–2.4 m × (W) 1.2–1.8 m × (H) 1.8–2.2 m (by format and options).

Pouch Formats & Materials

• Stick packs (narrow, on-the-go dose) or flat sachets (rectangular).

• Plastic laminates optimized for powder flow, oxygen barrier, and seal integrity.

• Supports registered printing with eye-mark, matte/gloss finishes, and recyclable film trials where compatible.

---

Integration & Optional Upgrades

• Nitrogen flushing for freshness and shelf-life.

• Dust extraction & de-aeration near the auger to improve seal quality.

• Automatic film splicer to reduce roll-change downtime.

• Date/batch coder (TTO/inkjet/emboss).

• Checkweigher + reject to verify net content compliance.

• Metal detector for HACCP.

• Remote diagnostics/IIoT gateway for uptime visibility and OEE dashboards.

• Quick-change forming sets for fast size changeovers (<30–45 min with trained crew).

---

Hygiene, Safety & Compliance

• Food-contact design: smooth welds, radiused corners, tool-less disassembly of contact parts.

• Standards: CE-compliant design; supports HACCP, GMP, and FDA-aligned materials.

• Operator safety: interlocked guards, e-stops, hot-zone shielding, UL/CE electrical components.

---

Throughput & Accuracy: A Practical Snapshot

• Product: instant coffee 10 g stick pack

• Setup: 8 lanes, 50 sachets/lane/min

• Line Rate: 400 sachets/min (24,000/hour)

• Giveaway Control: ±0.5–1.0 g typical with servo auger and stable bulk density.
  Result: high output with controlled product giveaway to protect margins.

---

Cost & ROI Example (Illustrative)

• Labor savings: multi-lane vs. single-lane can reduce operators per 100k sachets by 30–50%.

• Material savings: tighter weight control can cut product overfill by 0.3–0.8 g per sachet.

• At 0.5 g saved on a 10 g fill and 200,000 sachets/month, that’s 100 kg powder retained monthly—material value quickly offsets change-parts and payback timelines (exact ROI varies by COGS and utilization).

---

Installation, Training & Support

• Commissioning: format setup, recipe tuning, and FAT/SAT checklists.

• Training: operators + maintenance with quick-reference SOPs.

• Spares: forming sets, seal bars, auger screws, jaws, and sensors stocked for uptime.

• Service: remote diagnostics and scheduled PM kits keep OEE high.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one machine run both tea and coffee powders?
Yes—by storing separate recipes and using appropriate auger and format sets.

What about dusty matcha or fine coffee?
Dust extraction, proper venting, and anti-static measures help maintain seals and clarity.

How fast are size changeovers?
With trained personnel and quick-change kits, 30–45 minutes is typical for lane/forming changes.

Are recyclable films possible?
Trials with mono-PE or PP laminates are feasible; sealing windows and stiffness must be validated.
