Sachet Machines
Sachet machines are packaging equipment used to produce small sealed packets known as sachets. These packets are commonly used to package individual portions of various products such as powders, liquids, granules, and gels. Sachet machines automate the process of forming, filling, and sealing these packets, enabling efficient and consistent packaging.
Here are the key components and steps involved in sachet packaging:
Film Unwinding: Rolls of packaging film are loaded into the machine. The film is typically a thin and flexible material designed to create secure and airtight seals.
Film Formation: The film is unwound and passes through a forming section that shapes it into individual sachet pouches.
Product Filling: The sachet pouches are filled with the desired product. This can include items such as ketchup, shampoo, sugar, instant coffee, and more.
Sealing: After filling, the sachet pouches are sealed. Depending on the type of machine, sealing can be done through heat, pressure, ultrasonic waves, or other methods.
Cutting: The continuous strip of sealed sachets is then cut into individual units, separating them from each other.
Code Printing and Inspection: Similar to other packaging machines, some sachet machines are equipped with printers to add information such as expiration dates, batch codes, or product details on the sachets. Inspection systems can also be used to ensure the quality and integrity of the sealed sachets.
Collection and Packaging: Finished sachets are collected and may be grouped or packed into boxes for distribution and sale.
Sachet machines offer several advantages, including efficient use of packaging materials, convenience for consumers, and the ability to accommodate a wide variety of product types and sizes. They are commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care industries.
