Stickpack filling and sealing machine

Description of operation:

This system is mainly developed to control the net weight of a Stickpack by leaving out the influence of the weight of the wrapping material.

To this end, empty bags are put into carriers - manually or supplied by a MERZ packaging machine.

The filling and weighing of the bags is performed in several steps. The filled Stickpack carriers are being conveyed step by step via a transport system.

1. Step:  Additional Stickpack spreading device
2. Step:  The empty bag is weighed together with the carrier (tara)
3. Step:  Additional camera for controlling open Stickpacks 
4. Step:  Dosing or rather filling of product 1
5. Step:  Weighing of product 1
6. Step:  Horizontal sealing product 1 (Option for separation of product 1 and product 2)
7. Step:  Dosing or rather filling of product 2
8. Step:  Weighing of product 2
9. Step:  Horizontal sealing (closing of Stickpack)
10. Step:  Waiting position (reserve position e.g. for control by camera)
11. Step:  Sachet sorting into good and bad bags with reject verification
12. Step:  Sensor with holder after Stickpack transfer for check of empty workpiece carriers 
13. Step:  The empty carrier moves on, back to the starting position
