Sachet Machines for Pharmaceutical Tablets
Universal Pack specializes in designing and manufacturing a diverse selection of custom-built sachet packaging machines. Our vertical continuous-motion sachet machines are specifically designed to handle all kinds of pharmaceutical tablets: capsules, rounded and shaped tablets, thanks to our customized feeding system dedicated to the dosing of these products. Some of these options include rotating tilted plate, vibrating tablet bowl feeders, aligner/dispenser.
Built for Pharma
Our pharmaceutical packaging machines can be equipped with a complete range of accessories, controls and documentation for any packaging machine:
- Extensive use of probes and heaters to achieve precise sealing-temperature control throughout the entire sealing block.
- OCR/OCV optical controls for identification, verification and traceability of variable data and pharmaceutical codes on the laminate.
- CFR 21 part 11 for regulating different users’ access and governing the use of electronic records and signatures in the pharmaceutical industry. This includes audit trail and alarm history to keep track of all machine events.
- Encryption of projects and resources to safeguard projects and resources from unauthorized access.
- OPC UA protocol to support connection to the machine PLC and data exchange with the customer MES.
- Production batch management to create batches, record, save and export all data accordingly.
- Weight control with high-precision weighing cells and feedback to the dosing unit to ensure the highest accuracy and rapid dosing correction.
- Automatic rejection of noncompliant sachets.
- Systems for traceability, serialization and aggregation.
- Validation documents DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ as well as FDS/HDS/SDS.

Types of Packages
Formats
Universal Pack sachet machines for pharmaceutical tablets are specifically dedicated to single-dose packages. For example, we can dose 1 or more tablets in a single sachet, with dimensions that vary depending on marketing goals, product characteristics and production requirements.
In addition, 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 place from one to more than 100 sachets in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any number of packages to be picked and placed into cartons. Our approach focuses on reducing as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.
Laminates
Universal Pack packaging lines for sachets can process typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-PE (paper – polyethylene), PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene), PET-ALU-PE (polyethylene terephthalate – aluminum – polyethylene) and cold-sealable materials. Our lines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethylene), and more on request.

Sustainability
Our continuous research in reducing the packaging industry’s carbon footprint resulted in streamlined machinery design for processing 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 package itself and involves every step of the packaging machinery production process. We develop our solutions in close collaboration with leading global film suppliers and test them in agreement with major multinational companies in order to provide them with a turnkey solution able to produce more sustainable packages.
