Stickpack packaging is becoming increasingly popular among consumers. The portioned product and its quick, uncomplicated consumption, even on the go, provide consumers with significant convenience.

The modern shape of the pack means that for the same fill quantity, stickpacks consume up to 40% less material than sachets. This means a reduction in material costs, as well as an improvement in the CO2 footprint of each product.

The LA600 stickpack machine was developed specifically for the needs of the pharmaceutical market. Linking together the LA600 SP and the P1600 cartoner, which has already notched up high sales, creates an ideal combination of proven technologies.

The sticks, positioned using the side-load method, are packaged at
very high speed. This is possible thanks to the excellent design of the stick guidance system along the process chain. Free fall or random distribution of the stickpacks is reliably prevented. This high process reliability, coupled with excellent output quality, guarantees high overall equipment efficiency (OEE) for our customers. (If necessary, it can also work in a stand-alone configuration).

Excellence and efficiency.
The ideal accessibility of the line provides the operator with an optimal view of the packaging process. Short downtimes for maintenance and the sensational cassette wet-cleaning facility also ensure outstanding equipment efficiency.
