Packaging Machines for Drinks

Universal Pack meets the needs of the drinks industry with a wide range of custom-built stick pack and sachet packaging machines and cartoning lines. Depending on the composition of your product, we can provide your machine with different dosing systems.

On one hand, auger and basculating are the right choices for powders and granules such as soluble chamomile, soluble tea, drink and chocolate powders. On the other hand, gravimetric and piston pump dosers are the suitable options for liquid products such as alcoholic drinks, juices and water.

Our internal laboratory analyzes every powder, liquid and laminate, to design and build the best solution for your need. After several internal tests and a thorough design review, we can manufacture your customized machine.

Which formats are suitable for packaging drinks?

Universal Pack’s machines and lines are specifically-dedicated to single-dose packages like stick packs and sachets. For example, we can dose from 0,1 up to 100 gr of drink powder and from 0,1 up to 100 ml of liquid in a single pack, whose dimensions vary depending on your marketing goals, nature of the products and production requirements.

In packaging lines for cartoning, our systems allow you to put from 1 up to 100 or more sachets or stick packs in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any amount of packages to be picked 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.

Which laminates are suitable for packaging drinks?

Universal Pack drink packaging machines 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.
