Stick packing machines manufactured by Omag are the ideal solution for heat-sealed on three sides, to produce single dose stick pack. In opposition, in a specific working domain they should offer a good work flexibility.

Why are Stick Packaging Machines ideal solution for single dose packaging?

The Stick Packaging Machine is perfectly suitable for the treatment of food products, such as spices or soluble granulates, as well as gel, creamy and liquid products. The single dose stick packaging of parfums, hair lotions, conditioners, food seasonings (oil, vinegar and salt), are widely distributed worldwide on many markets,with great practicality and ease of use.

In the pharmaceutical industry stick packaging machines are often used for heat-sealed small envelopes with medicines in powder, capsules or tablet form.

How do Stick Packing Machines work?

The makingof Stick Packing Machines requires a precise and careful construction process. The precision with the dosage is really one of the fundamental aspects of these packaging facilities, independently of the type of industry, sector and product.

The Packaging machines usually work in hygienic and sanitized environments, where it is essential to keep the working area tidy and clean.

The Stick Packaging Machines manufactured by Omag are designed, not only to speed up the production process, but also to allow the operator to have an easier management of the machine, promoting the cleaning and hygiene of the compounds.

An important characteristic for this kind of machines is the precision of the heat-sealed. The quality of a Pack Machine can be perceived not only from its construction, but also on the basis of its degree of process’ reliability:the more this is guaranteed, the better the stick-pack will close.

Stick Packing Machines allow the operators to benefit from producing process entirely automatic, following autonomously the different phases of the machining, before obtaining the final package.

How to choose the material for the packaging?

The shape of the envelope depends on its dimension. Its material depends on the product and on the rules of conservation. There are products that require to be stored in the fridge, others that require different environmental conditions.
