Packaging Machines for Pharmaceutical Powders & Granules

Universal Pack designs and builds customized stick pack and sachet packaging machines and cartoning lines for pharmaceutical powders and granules. Understanding the needs of our customers is the first step to create and design solutions for their satisfaction in terms of flexibility, reliability and efficiency.

We provide our pharmaceutical packaging machines for powders and granules with auger or basculating dosing systems. On one hand, auger guarantees high levels of dosage accuracy of non free-flowing powders. On the other hand, basculating allows high-speed packaging operations and better output capacity of free-flowing powders and granules. Therefore, the application of auger or basculating depends on the composition of the products.

Moreover, our bag in bag sealing block packs multiple sachets in a single sachet.

We design our solutions for pharmaceutical powders and granules such as antibiotics, antidiarrheal, heartburn, lactic ferments, laxatives, mucolytic, osteopathy, pain relief, paracetamol, rehydration salts, dentistry powders, intimate hygiene products, wound healing.

Pharmaceutical Requirements

As fundamental parts of the safety measures in the pharmaceutical industry, we can provide security systems to govern access and recorded data on the production line. They can manage different levels of access (e.g. operator, factory, administration) making the machinery compliant with CFR 21 part 11 regulation.

The experience we have acquired in our longlasting partnerships with major pharmaceutical corporations helped us develop the most suitable systems in terms of production management, products traceability and compliance with the latest regulations. This process of constant growth and enhancement reflects on our prime quality integrated automatic packaging lines and the abundant set of accessories to increase quality control.

Our internal laboratory analyzes your product and laminate, to design and build the best solution for your need. After internal tests and a thorough design review, we can manufacture your customized machine.

Which formats are suitable for packaging pharmaceutical powders & granules?

Our machines and lines are specifically-dedicated to single-dose packages like stick packs and sachets. For example, we can dose from 0,1 up to 100 gr of pharmaceutical powders & granules in a single pack, whose dimensions vary depending on your marketing goals, nature of the products and production requirements.

In packaging lines for cartoning, our systems allow you to put from 1 up to 100 or more sachets or stick packs in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any amount of packages to be picked and put into cartons. In recent years, our philosophy is to save as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.

Which laminates are suitable for packaging pharmaceutical powders & granules?

Our machines can process all typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-ALU-PE (Paper – Aluminum – Polyethylene); PET-ALU-PE (polyethylene terephthalate – aluminum – polyethylene) and cold sealable materials. Our machines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (Polypropylene), PLA (Polylactic Acid), PAP (Paper), Bio-PE (Bio-based polyethylene), and more on request.
