Stick Series Stick Pack Filling

Machine overview

Maximum benefits, minimum space. 

The STICK series of vertical intermittent-motion machines match high technology with a compact footprint. Developed to ensure the highest productivity standards on today’s market, STICK is also extremely flexible in terms of output and dosing systems, able to meet any requirement. 
STICK is available in different configurations depending on the product to pack: paste products, fluid products, powders, free and non-free-flowing products. Double dosing systems can be installed for alternating production and, in the case of powder packaging, a double auger is available to dose different powders into the same stick. 
The stick sealing system is made up of a vertical and a horizontal sealing unit. The vertical one can be opened in two ways (angular or rotating) allowing quick and easy access to the sealing bars and forming tubes. The horizontal sealing and pulling unit allows for rotating opening to easily access the sealing bar. 
STICK machines provide extremely easy cleaning operations and size changeovers both in terms of length and width. An optional check-weighing system is available for 100% weight control and automatic feedback to the dosing system.
