Stick Pack Machine for Powders
Universal Pack designs and builds a wide range of custom-built stick pack machines. Specifically, our vertical intermittent-motion stick pack machines can handle a wide range of powders and granules with precise dosing control thanks to our auger dosing system.
Which Dosing Systems are Suitable for Packaging Powders?
The auger dosing system enables accurate dosing of dry, dusty and powder, free-flowing and non free-flowing products with high filling accuracy, according to their needs. At the same time, the auger is suitable for products with components that make them lumpy or sticky. Therefore, it is possible to adjust precisely the rotational speed and number of auger rotations. This action ensures fast and simple adjustments of the operational parameters.
The company’s patented system for inserting and folding film around the forming tubes helps achieve maximum efficiency and reliability. Thanks to this, Universal Pack machines are known worldwide.
Our stick pack machines for powders provide a compact solution combining the high output within a compact footprint. These solutions include many advantages such as high dosing accuracy, reduced wrapping material waste, easy handling and cleaning. Moreover, our user-friendly and modular stick pack machines allow our customers to reduce downtime and meet increasingly demanding production requirements.

Types of Packages
Formats
Universal Pack stick pack machines are specifically dedicated to single-dose packages. For example, we can dose from 0.1 up to 100 g. of all kinds of powders & granules in a stick pack, with dimensions that vary according to your marketing goals, product characteristics and production requirements.
Moreover, we provide you with the possibility to easily integrate your stick pack machine in a Universal Pack packaging line for cartoning. Our lines allow you to insert from 1 to more than 100 stick packs in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any number of packages to be picked up and placed into cartons. In recent years, our philosophy is to save as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.
Laminates
Universal Pack stick pack machines for powders can process all typical heat-sealable composite films, such as: PAP-PE (paper – polyethylene), PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene), PET-ALU-PE (polyethylene terephthalate – aluminum – polyethylene) and cold-sealable materials. Our machines can also package more sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethylene), and more on request.

Sustainability
Our non-stop research in reducing the packaging industry 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 mere packaging produced and involves every step of the packaging machinery production process. We develop our solutions in close collaboration with the main global film suppliers and test them in collaboration with major multinational companies in order to provide them with a turnkey solution able to produce more sustainable packages.
