A Multitrack Sachet Pouch Packaging Machine is a high-speed, automated system designed to simultaneously produce and fill multiple sachets or pouches in parallel tracks. These machines are widely used in industries like FMCG, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, cosmetics, and chemicals for packaging liquids, powders, pastes, and granules.

Key Components and Working Principle
- Feeds roll stock film into the machine.
- Equipped with tension control and alignment systems to ensure smooth feeding.
Film Slitting and Tracking
- The film is slit into multiple lanes (tracks) corresponding to the number of sachets being formed.
- Each track operates independently but in synchronization.
Forming Section
- The film is shaped into individual sachets using forming collars.
- Typically supports 3-side or 4-side sealing formats.
Filling System
- Product is dispensed into each sachet through volumetric, piston, or auger fillers.
- Types of fillers depend on the product (liquid, powder, paste, etc.).
Sealing and Cutting
- Heat-sealing jaws seal the sachets vertically and horizontally.
- Sachets are then cut and discharged.
Advantages
- High productivity: Multiple sachets filled simultaneously.
- Compact footprint: Saves space compared to multiple single-track machines.
- Versatility: Handles a wide range of products and pouch sizes.
- Precision: Accurate filling and sealing reduce wastage.
- Hygienic design: Stainless steel construction meets food and pharma standards.
Applications Across Industries
- Food & Beverage
Instant coffee, sauces, sugar, ketchup, energy drinks.
Pharmaceuticals
- Oral rehydration salts (ORS), powders, syrups, gels
Cosmetics & Personal Care
- Shampoo, conditioner, face wash, creams.
Household & Chemicals
- Detergents, disinfectants, lubricants.
Quality Control and Compliance
- Machines often comply with GMP, CE, and ISO standards.
Smart Features in Modern Machines
PLC with HMI touchscreen: Easy operation and diagnostics.
- Servo motors: For precise control of filling and sealing.
- Remote monitoring: IoT-enabled systems for real-time data.
- Recipe management: Store multiple product settings.
Maintenance and Operational Tips
- Regular cleaning of contact parts.
- Calibration of filling systems.
- Lubrication of mechanical components.
- Periodic inspection of sealing jaws and heaters
