Applications & Use Cases

• Packaging pharmaceutical powders into individual sachets for precise dosing.
• Portioning food ingredients like spices, sugar, or coffee into single-serve packets.
• Creating sample packs or travel-sized portions of cosmetic powders or personal care products.
• Packaging chemical additives or small components in controlled, sealed sachets.
• Distributing nutritional supplements or health products in convenient, pre-measured doses.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 50 to 300 sachets per minute, depending on the number of lanes and product characteristics.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required, often with pneumatic connections for machine operation.

Sachet size range

Sachet machines are typically configurable to produce various sachet dimensions, often accommodating widths from 30mm to 150mm and lengths from 40mm to 200mm.

Filling accuracy

High precision is standard for pharmaceutical applications, with typical filling accuracy often within ±1-2% of the target weight.

Product contact materials

Components in contact with the product are commonly made from food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) to ensure hygiene and prevent contamination.

Dosing mechanism

For powder products, volumetric auger fillers are typically employed, offering precise and consistent dosing.

Footprint

The physical footprint of these machines varies significantly, but a typical multi-lane unit might require an area of 2m x 1.5m, plus space for material handling.
