Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Stick Pack Machine

Definition
A stick pack machine is a multi-lane vertical packaging machine used in food manufacturing to produce narrow, tube-shaped sachets, commonly called sticks. It slits a film web into multiple narrow lanes, forms each lane into a slim tube, and fills single-serve doses of products such as coffee, sugar, electrolyte powders, sauces, or pharmaceutical granules before cross-sealing and cutting. Machines typically run 4 to 12 lanes, producing up to roughly 1,500 sticks per minute total, with auger dosing for powders and piston pumps for liquids. The stick format uses 30 to 40 percent less film than pillow sachets for the same dose, which drives adoption in instant beverage and nutraceutical lines. The machine is constructed with a stainless steel 304 frame and contact parts, PTFE-coated sealing jaws, food-grade auger and hopper assemblies, hardened slitting knives, and servo drives with PLC/HMI. Key parameters include bag length from 30 to 150 mm, bag width from 16 to 60 mm, filling volume from 0.5 to 50 ml, production speed from 30 to 120 bags per minute per lane, filling accuracy of ±1 to ±2 percent, film width from 200 to 600 mm, film thickness from 0.02 to 0.15 mm, sealing temperature from 120 to 180 °C, air consumption from 0.3 to 0.8 m³/min, power supply of 220–380 V AC, installed power from 3 to 8 kW, machine weight from 800 to 2000 kg, and dimensions ranging from 2500×1200×1800 to 4000×1800×2200 mm. The machine is designed to comply with CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EN 415-3 for packaging machine safety, and GB 16798 for food machinery hygiene, but these standards are listed as references for verification, not as proof of certification. Always confirm model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier.
Working Principle
A wide film reel is slit into lanes; each lane wraps around a forming tube where a vertical seal creates the tube shape. Dosing units above each tube release the measured product between cross-seal cycles, and heated horizontal jaws seal, emboss, and cut the sticks, which drop to a takeaway conveyor or counting collator.

Risk, maintenance & compliance

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Cross-seal contamination leaks
Cause: Powder dust falling during jaw closure embeds in the weld, creating channels; inadequate dosing timing or absent seal-zone air purge accelerates the defect.
Lane width drift
Cause: Slitting knife wear or film tension imbalance makes lanes wander on the forming tubes, producing skewed seals and jam cascades across adjacent lanes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What products can be packaged with a stick pack machine?

Stick pack machines are designed for single-dose powders and liquids, such as coffee, sugar, electrolyte powders, sauces, and pharmaceutical granules. The filling system must match the product type: auger dosing for powders and piston pumps for liquids.

How many lanes can a stick pack machine have?

The number of lanes typically ranges from 4 to 12, depending on the model. More lanes increase production rate, but the total output is the product of lanes and per-lane speed, which is typically 30 to 120 bags per minute per lane.

What is the typical filling accuracy?

Filling accuracy is typically ±1 to ±2 percent, depending on product characteristics and the filler type. For precise dosing, the auger or pump must be calibrated for the specific product.

What standards should be verified before purchasing?

The machine may be designed to meet CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EN 415-3 for packaging machine safety, and GB 16798 for food machinery hygiene. However, these are reference standards; you must confirm compliance with the legal manufacturer or supplier for the specific model.
