Stickpack filling and closing system for pharmaceutical powders

Achieve precise dosing and secure packaging for pharmaceutical powders and granules with an optimized stickpack system designed for high-speed operation, ensuring product consistency and reducing contamination risks in your production line.

Forms, Fills, and Seals Stickpacks

The MT SERIES Stickpack Filling and Closing Machine from Marchesini Group excels at forming, filling, and sealing stickpacks for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. This equipment stands out with its ability to efficiently package powders and granules like paracetamol, antacid, and vitamin supplements, ensuring precise dosing with a 10-lane Auger Filler Dosing Unit. Each auger lane operates independently with brushless motors to maintain dosing accuracy and allows self-correction when integrated with a checkweigher. The machine’s modular design facilitates quick maintenance and cleaning, aided by the Group of Fast Release for easy disassembly. The MT SERIES operates at high speeds, reaching up to 65 cycles per minute, accommodating stickpack widths from 18 to 60mm, and lengths between 60 to 160mm. It supports seamless integration into production lines with minimal hard-to-reach points for enhanced accessibility. Built to meet stringent pharmaceutical standards, the machine offers options for different material builds for optimal product compatibility and longevity.
