Sachet Machine for Powders

Universal Pack designs and builds a wide range of custom-built sachet packaging machines. Specifically, our vertical continuous-motion sachet machines can handle all kinds of powders with micrometric precision thanks to our auger dosing system.

Which dosing systems are suitable for packaging powders?

Auger guarantees our customers to dose dry, dusty and powdery, free and non free-flowing products with high filling accuracy, according to their needs. At the same time, auger is suitable for any product containing components that make them lumpy and sticky. Therefore, it is possible to micrometrically vary the rotational speed and number of turns of the screws. This action allows fast and simple adjustments of the operational parameters.

Our sachet machines for powders guarantee a compact solution combining the highest output with a small footprint. These solutions include many advantages such as great dose accuracy, minor wrapping material waste, easy handling and cleaning. Moreover, our user-friendly and modular sachet machines allow our customers to reduce downtime and fulfill their increasingly high production demands.

Universal Pack sachet machines are specifically-dedicated to single-dose packages. For example, we can dose from 0,1 up to 100 gr of all kinds of powders & granules in a sachet, whose dimensions vary depending on your marketing goals, nature of the products and production requirements.

Moreover, we provide you with the possibility to easily integrate your sachet machine in a Universal Pack packaging line for cartoning. Our lines allow you to put from 1 up to 100 or more sachets in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any amount of packages to be picked up and put into cartons. In recent years, our philosophy is to save as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.

Universal Pack sachet packaging machines for powders can process all typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-PE (paper – polyethene), PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene), PET-ALU-PE (polyethene terephthalate – aluminium – polyethene) and cold sealable materials. Our machines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethene), and more on request.

Our non-stop research in reducing the packaging industry carbon footprint resulted in streamlined machinery design for packing recycled, recyclable and compostable laminates. LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is used to measure the environmental impact of our products and identify optimal ways to reduce it. It is a 360° analysis that goes beyond the mere packaging produced and involves every step of the packaging machinery production process. We develop our solutions shoulder-to-shoulder with the main global film suppliers and test them in agreement with major multinational companies in order to provide them with a turnkey solution able to produce eco-packages.
