Automated Multi-Lane Packaging System for Granular and Powdered Feed Additives in Stick Packs and Sachets

Automated Multi-Lane Packaging System for Granular and Powdered Feed Additives in Stick Packs and Sachets

Packmate (GuangDong) Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer with over three decades of engineering excellence in intelligent packaging solutions, introduces its state-of-the-art Automated Multi-Lane Packaging System. Designed specifically for the demanding feed additive industry, this fully integrated line revolutionizes the packaging of granular and powdered products. It delivers high-speed, precise, and flexible production of both stick packs and sachets, making it the ideal turnkey solution for manufacturers seeking to maximize output, ensure consistent product quality, and streamline their entire packaging operation from filling to final sealing. Built for high-volume environments, this system embodies our commitment to robust, reliable, and innovative automation.

Product Features

This advanced packaging line incorporates a suite of innovative features engineered for peak performance, operational efficiency, and minimal downtime.

• High-Speed Multi-Lane Operation: The system’s core design enables simultaneous packaging across multiple, independently controlled lanes. This architecture dramatically increases total output compared to traditional single-lane machines, providing the scalability needed for large-scale production.
• Precision Gravimetric or Volumetric Filling: Equipped with highly accurate filling systems specifically tailored for the characteristics of granules and powders. This ensures consistent and precise dosage weight in every single pack, which is absolutely critical for maintaining the guaranteed efficacy and nutritional value of feed additives.
• Full Automation & Centralized Control: The entire process is managed by a sophisticated centralized PLC control system with an intuitive HMI touchscreen interface. This allows for seamless operation, real-time monitoring of all parameters, and quick, tool-free changeovers between different pack sizes or formats, minimizing production interruptions.
• Superior Film Handling and Sealing Integrity: Utilizes robust mechanisms for precise film unwinding and registration. The multi-stage thermal sealing process, including both vertical and horizontal seals, creates strong, hermetic, and leak-proof seams that reliably protect the product from moisture, contamination, and spoilage, ensuring shelf-life and quality.
• Flexible Packaging Format Production: The machine platform is easily configurable to produce a wide variety of stick pack and sachet sizes (including 3-side and 4-side seals) without major mechanical adjustments. This versatility supports diverse product lines and market requirements from a single investment.
• In-Line Quality Assurance Systems: Optional integrated vision inspection systems and automatic checkweighers can be added to the line. These systems continuously monitor for sealing defects, incorrect fill weight, or print registration errors, automatically rejecting any non-conforming packs to guarantee that only perfect products proceed to packaging.
• Hygienic and Easy-Clean Design: Constructed with food-grade stainless steel at all product contact points. The design emphasizes sanitation, with smooth surfaces and accessible areas that facilitate thorough and efficient cleaning between production runs to prevent cross-contamination and meet stringent hygiene standards.

Technical Specifications

Product Application Fields

This automated multi-lane packaging system is specifically engineered for the modern feed additive and premix industry, providing the precision and hygiene required for sensitive nutritional products.

• Feed Additive Manufacturing: Ideal for packaging a vast array of granular and powdered feed additives, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids (e.g., lysine, methionine), enzymes, probiotics, organic acids, antioxidants, and flavor enhancers into unit-dose stick packs or sachets.
• Animal Nutrition Premix Plants: Perfect for producing small-format, pre-measured packs of concentrated premixes for poultry, swine, aquaculture, and ruminant feed, ensuring accurate inclusion rates and simplifying on-farm mixing.
• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Products: Suitable for packaging powdered or granular veterinary supplements and medicated feed additives that require precise dosing and excellent barrier properties to maintain potency.
• Agricultural & Specialty Chemical Sectors: The robust and accurate system can also be adapted for packaging granular or powdered products in adjacent industries, such as water-soluble fertilizers, plant growth regulators, or biocontrol agents in protective sachets.
