Portioned powders in a sealed single-use sachet.
The format suits projects needing more printable area or a broader pack than a narrow stick.
Multi-lane sachet packaging
Powder sachet machine.
A wider sealed-pack format for controlled doses of coffee, milk, protein, drink and seasoning powders—with the dosing system selected around powder behaviour.

Reference dose1–150 ml*Supplier-stated volumetric range
01 / Application fit
Start with how the powder behaves.
Powders that look similar can flow, aerate and compact very differently. The filler, screw geometry, agitation and dust control must be selected from the real product.
Dust, flow and fill accuracy.
Cohesive, aerated or hygroscopic powders may need servo-auger control, agitation, extraction and special cleaning provisions. Product tests should define the realistic speed and tolerance.
02 / Operating principle
Control the dose before closing the sachet.
The powder path and the film path meet only after each has been stabilised.
Present the powder
A hopper and feed system maintain usable powder supply above the dosing unit.
Measure each portion
A servo auger or volumetric cup is matched to flow and accuracy requirements.
Create each sachet
The registered film is formed into lanes and receives the measured product.
Finish the pack
Controlled heat and pressure form the seal before the selected cut pattern.
03 / Key capabilities
Powder control shapes the whole design.
The right solution balances dosing repeatability, clean seals, operator access and changeover effort.
Two dosing routes
Reference options include servo auger and volumetric cup filling.
Multi-lane output
The supplier describes configurations from four to twelve lanes, dependent on sachet width.
Film registration
Servo film pulling and colour-mark control support printed-film positioning.
Independent temperature
Controlled seal temperature helps protect the finish across the web.
Food-area construction
The reference frame uses stainless steel; product-contact scope must be confirmed.
Dust management
Extraction can be added where airborne powder threatens seals or sanitation.
04 / Reference specification
Engineering data.
The supplier states a volumetric dose range; final weight capability must be tested against bulk density.
* Supplier reference data. Cycle rate is not the same as guaranteed finished packs per minute and varies with lane count, powder and sachet.

05 / Configurable scope
Specify cleanliness and pack finish together.
These options affect commissioning, housekeeping and downstream automation.
Dosing configuration
Match the filler to flow and tolerance.
- Long or short screw filler
- Servo auger controls
- Volumetric cup for suitable products
Cut and opening
Define the customer interaction with the pack.
- Straight, zigzag or continuous cutting
- Easy-open tear notch
- Alternative seal patterns
Coding and quality
Connect identification and verification requirements.
- Laser, thermal-transfer or ribbon coding
- Checkweighing / detection by project
- Reject and finished-product conveyor
Downstream automation
Organise sachets for their final sales unit.
- Automatic counting
- Cartoning
- Secondary VFFS or premade pouch
06 / Selection brief
A powder sample prevents expensive assumptions.
Share both the powder and the finished-pack standard before selecting the filler.
Start my configuration ↗- Powder characteristics
Flowability, bulk density, particle size, moisture, dust and whether it compacts.
- Dose and tolerance
Target weight or volume and the acceptable finished-pack deviation.
- Sachet standard
Width, length, seal layout, film structure, artwork and opening feature.
- Cleaning requirement
Allergen changeover, sanitation method and acceptable residual product.
- Line boundary
Feeding, coding, inspection, counting and secondary packing.

Narrow sticks suit free-flowing small doses; liquids require an entirely different filler.
Is the powder free-flowing, dusty or easily compacted?
Send a short filling video, sample data and sachet drawing so the filler can be screened correctly.
