Artistick Stickpack 2 lane

• Packaging granular products such as instant coffee, sugar, salt, and spices into individual stick packs.
• Forming and filling liquid or paste products like sauces, honey, and pharmaceutical gels into narrow sachets.
• Creating single-serve portions of powdered drinks, supplements, or nutritional products.
• Packaging small confectionery items or snack components for convenience and portion control.
• Producing individual servings of non-food items such as small hardware components or cosmetic samples.

Typical throughput

For a two-lane stickpack machine of this class, output commonly ranges from 60 to 120 sticks per minute, depending on product and film.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on heaters and motors.

Pack width

Stickpack machines are generally configured for a specific pack width, often between 15mm and 50mm, with change parts required for different sizes.

Film material

These machines commonly utilise heat-sealable laminated film rolls, suitable for the product being packed and offering barrier properties.

Footprint

The footprint for a two-lane stickpack machine typically ranges from 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width, excluding ancillary equipment.

Dosing system

Common dosing systems for stickpack machines include volumetric fillers for granules/powders or piston pumps for liquids/pastes.

• What kind of products can this machine pack?

  This type of machine is primarily designed for free-flowing granular products, powders, and liquids/pastes, depending on the specific dosing system installed.

• Can the pack size be changed?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• What film materials are compatible?

• Is installation complex for a used machine?

Form-fill-seal machines hold strong reputations in food packaging for reliability and consistent output. Buyers typically prioritise machines with clear maintenance histories and verified production specifications. Key strengths include versatility across film types and product formats, alongside relatively straightforward operation. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine seal quality consistency, film tracking accuracy, and the condition of heating elements. Machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence. Downtime for repairs is a common concern, so availability of spare parts and technical support merits careful consideration before acquisition.
