Project Overview

This project was developed for a beverage and food brand manufacturer in Thailand that needed a more efficient and reliable packaging solution for 50g milk tea powder. The customer’s existing manual packaging process was limited by low efficiency, unstable filling accuracy, inconsistent package appearance, high labor cost, product trapping during sealing, and the risk of bag bursting.

To solve these challenges, eixpack provided a customized 6-lane powder stick pack machine with vacuum feeding, servo auger filling, bag forming, sealing, laser coding, cutting, water cooling, anti-static dust adsorption, and a reserved interface for future connection with an automatic cartoning machine. The solution was designed to improve production capacity, filling consistency, package appearance, sealing quality, and readiness for export packaging requirements.

Client Challenges

1. Low manual packaging efficiency

Manual packing could not support stable high-volume production. As order demand increased, the customer needed a powder stick pack machine that could improve output while reducing dependence on repetitive manual work.

2. Unstable filling accuracy

For 50g milk tea powder, inconsistent filling weight can lead to product giveaway, customer complaints, and difficulty maintaining standardized package quality. Accurate quantitative filling was a key requirement of the project.

3. Dust generation during powder filling

Milk tea powder and sugar powder ingredients can generate dust during feeding and filling. Dust may affect the cleanliness of the sealing area, machine operation, packaging appearance, and workplace environment.

4. Product trapping in the sealing area

Powder trapped in the sealing area can cause poor sealing, leakage risk, unattractive package appearance, and possible bag bursting during handling or transportation.

5. High labor cost and inconsistent package appearance

Manual operation made it difficult to maintain consistent bag length, sealing quality, coding position, and overall package appearance. The customer needed a more automated system to reduce labor pressure and improve brand presentation.

6. Need to meet export packaging expectations

For export-oriented packaged food products, the customer needed more consistent sealing, clearer coding, better package presentation, and more reliable production traceability.

Project Goals

The project was designed to help the customer achieve the following production and business goals:

  • Improve packaging efficiency for 50g milk tea powder stick packs.
  • Improve filling accuracy and reduce variation between packages.
  • Reduce labor dependency and long-term packaging cost.
  • Increase production capacity for brand manufacturing and contract manufacturing needs.
  • Improve package consistency, sealing quality, and final product appearance.
  • Reduce product trapping, powder dusting, leakage risk, and bag bursting.
  • Support export-ready packaging requirements.
  • Reserve the possibility of connecting with an automatic cartoning machine in the future.

Our Solution

eixpack supplied a customized 6-lane powder stick pack machine for 50g milk tea powder packaging. This solution combines powder feeding, servo auger filling, film forming, sealing, laser coding, cutting, cooling, dust control, and future cartoning integration in one coordinated system.

The system was designed around the characteristics of milk tea powder: moisture sensitivity, easy dust generation, the need for accurate filling, and the requirement for clean sealing. For this reason, the selected solution focused not only on packaging speed, but also on filling stability, dust management, sealing reliability, and package consistency.

Vacuum feeder

The vacuum feeder supports automatic powder conveying to reduce manual material handling and improve feeding continuity. It helps stabilize the upstream supply of powder to the filling system.

Servo auger filling system

The servo auger filling system is suitable for powder products that require quantitative filling. It helps improve filling consistency and reduce overfilling or underfilling compared with manual filling.

Bag forming system

The forming system converts packaging film into stick bags with a stable bag shape. This helps improve package consistency and supports better product presentation.

Sealing system

The sealing system is designed to create reliable seals for stick packs. For powder applications, sealing stability is critical because powder trapping may lead to weak seals, leakage, or bag bursting.

Water cooling system

A water cooling system was used to help control heat around the screw filling area and reduce the risk of material melting or sticking under high-temperature conditions.

Laser coding machine

The laser coding machine supports date coding, batch coding, or traceability information on the stick pack. This is important for food and beverage packaging, especially for export-oriented products.

Anti-static dust adsorption system

To reduce dust influence during powder filling, the machine included an anti-static dust adsorption system. This helps maintain a cleaner filling and sealing environment and improves final package quality.

Reserved interface for automatic cartoning machine

The system included a reserved interface for future connection with an automatic cartoning machine. This allows the customer to upgrade from stick packing to secondary packaging automation when production demand increases.

Solution Summary

This solution is suitable for 50g milk tea powder because it addresses the key production risks of powder packaging: dusting, unstable filling, sealing contamination, labor dependency, and inconsistent package appearance. It also gives the customer a scalable path toward a more complete automated packaging line, including future connection with a cartoning machine.

Why This Solution Works

This solution works because it matches the real production requirements of 50g milk tea powder packaging. Milk tea powder is a powder product that may absorb moisture, generate dust, and contaminate the sealing area if the filling and sealing process is not well controlled. A general-purpose packing machine may not be enough for this application.

The 6-lane powder stick pack machine improves productivity while keeping the packaging format compact and consistent. The servo auger filling system supports quantitative powder filling. The anti-static dust adsorption system helps reduce dust influence. The water cooling system helps control heat around the filling area. The sealing and cutting systems support stable serrated stick packs. The laser coding machine supports traceability and export packaging needs.

For beverage powder, food powder, sports nutrition powder, and similar contract manufacturing applications, this type of stick pack machine provides a strong balance between automation level, filling accuracy, package presentation, and future production scalability.
