Sachet Machine for Seeds & Herbs

Universal Pack designs and builds a wide range of custom-built sachet packaging machines, specifically-dedicated for seeds and herbs. Our vertical continuous-motion sachet machines can handle various seeds and herbs, thanks to our dedicated feeding system with inclined rotating tubes.

Which dosing systems are suitable for packaging seeds & herbs?

We can provide your feeding system with different configurations based on the product to be dosed. On one hand, we can install auger in the rotating tubes and shovels to dose the seeds. On the other hand we can place basculating cups under the tubes to dose products such thyme and rosemary.

We design any configuration to guarantee output maximization. In addition to that, we provide your machine with OEE-oriented film management system and rotary sealing rollers.

Our sachet machines for seeds and herbs guarantee a compact solution combining the highest output with a small footprint including reliable weight control, less product loss, 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 g. of seeds and dried herbs in a sachet, the dimensions of which 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 insert 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 machines for seeds and herbs 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.
