The stick packaging machine is especially suitable for packaging materials, such as coffee, milk powder, chocolate powder, seasoning powder, honey, ice cream, pharmaceuticals, sugar, desiccants, etc.

Do you know the working principle of the stick packaging machine? It mainly uses various technical means to realize the process of packaging. Specifically, its working principle can be decomposed into the following key steps:

Steps	Description
Feeding	This section is responsible for conveying products from the production line to the positioning position of the packaging machine.
Filling	In the packaging section, the machine will package the product, which usually involves functions such as automatic quantification and automatic filling.
Sealing:	After filling is completed, the packaging machine seals the packaging bag. This is usually achieved through equipment such as heat sealers, knives, and folding devices to ensure the sealing and aesthetics of the packaging bag.
Conveying	After packaging is completed, the machine will convey the product to the next process or designated location through a conveying system (such as a conveyor belt).

 

2.The Common Types of Stick Packaging Machines.

After understanding the definition of the stick packaging machine, do you know that there are many types of the machine? How to distinguish them? According to different classification methods, stick packaging machines can be classified into different types.
