APK-220 Automatic Vertical Single Lane Stick Pack Filling & Sealing Machine

High-efficiency vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) platform featuring servo-driven film tension and PID-controlled precision for pharmaceutical-grade stick packs.

The APK-220 is a dedicated single-lane vertical packaging solution engineered for high-precision, automated stick-pack production. By integrating quantitative dosing, film unwinding, bag forming, hermetic heat sealing, and precision cutting into a compact vertical footprint, the APK-220 delivers consistent, retail-ready stick pouches. It is the industry standard for manufacturers requiring reliable, small-dose packaging for powdered, granular, or liquid nutraceutical and chemical products.

  • Modular Dosing Dock: Universal overhead gantry designed for rapid integration with auger fillers, volumetric cup fillers, or piston pumps.

  • Fin-Seal Sealing Jaws: Precision-engineered sealing jaws produce clean, uniform back-seals (fin-seals) with optimal pressure.

  • Auto-Film Alignment: Integrated auto-correct system compensates for film drift in real-time, preventing misalignment during high-speed runs.

Servo-Driven Film Tension

The film pulling system is driven by high-performance servo motors, ensuring ultra-stable motion and minimal deviation in bag length.

Intelligent Tracking Matrix

Equipped with high-sensitivity electric eye sensors that automatically track and align printing cursors, ensuring ≥99.9% accurate logo and pattern placement on every stick pack.

PID Thermal Integrity

Features imported PID digital temperature control systems that maintain sealing temperature fluctuations within a strict ±2℃ range, ensuring hermetic seal strength.

Automated Diagnostics

The PLC control system includes an intuitive HMI for production monitoring, real-time fault diagnosis, and automatic shutdown protocols to prevent waste.

  • Servo-Pouch-Pulling System: Utilizing high-torque servo motors for film traction, ensuring consistent pouch length, minimal deviation, and the capacity to handle heavy-duty production cycles with ease.

  • Auto-Film-Aligning Mechanism: An integrated sensor-driven correction system that automatically adjusts film positioning during operation, effectively eliminating edge misalignment and sealing irregularities.

  • High-Sensitivity Cursor Tracking: Advanced electric eye system provides real-time cursor positioning, guaranteeing that every logo or pattern is perfectly registered on the stick pack.

  • PID-Controlled Thermal Array: Equipped with imported PID digital temperature displays to maintain sealing heat within a precise ±2℃ tolerance, preventing cold joints or burn-through.

  • Modular Dosing Gantry: A highly compatible overhead design that allows for rapid integration with various dosing manifolds—including Auger screws for powders, volumetric cups for granules, or piston pumps for liquids and pastes.

  • PLC-Integrated Diagnostic Suite: A centralized control hub offering an intuitive HMI for parameter configuration, production counting, real-time fault reporting, and self-diagnosis for rapid maintenance.

APK-220 Automatic Vertical Single Lane Stick Pack Filling & Sealing Machine Advanced Technical FAQ

What is the primary advantage of the servo-motor driven film pulling system compared to traditional mechanical drives?

Unlike mechanical drives, our servo-motor system offers superior torque and precision control. It enables digital specification changeovers, reduces mechanical wear, and ensures bag length deviation is minimized during high-load operation, significantly extending the machine’s service life.

Can the APK-220 handle different types of materials on the same machine?

Yes, the system features a highly compatible modular dosing gantry. The main packaging unit can be integrated with various filling systems, such as auger fillers for powders, volumetric cup fillers for granules, or piston pumps for liquids and viscous pastes, allowing you to adapt the machine to different product types.

How does the machine handle film tracking and misalignment issues?

The machine is equipped with an integrated auto-film-aligning system and high-sensitivity electric eye sensors. These systems continuously track the film position and automatically correct any deviations during operation, ensuring that the sealing process remains perfectly aligned to prevent edge misalignment.

What measures are in place to ensure seal integrity for high-barrier packaging materials?

We utilize imported PID digital temperature control systems that keep sealing temperature fluctuations within a ±2℃ range. Combined with a precision-engineered sealing jaw mechanism, this ensures consistent, high-strength seals that prevent micro-leaks and structural failures.

Is the APK-220 suitable for automated production lines?

Absolutely. It is designed for high-degree automation, featuring a PLC control system with an HMI touch screen. It supports fault self-reporting, self-stopping, and self-diagnosis, making it easy to integrate into larger production flows alongside automatic weighing and conveying equipment.

What is the maintenance requirement for the film-pulling and sealing components?

The design prioritizes ease of maintenance with simple adjustment mechanisms. The servo-driven system reduces friction and the need for frequent manual intervention, while the intuitive HMI provides real-time data to help operators perform proactive maintenance and rapid troubleshooting.
