EIXPACK configures vitamin powder stick pack systems for supplement brands, vitamin powder manufacturers, OEM/ODM factories and contract packers that need consistent dosing, cleaner seals and scalable production.
The recommended system combines servo-driven short-auger dosing, vacuum powder feeding, multi-lane forming and sealing, film alignment and optional dust, static and downstream automation modules.
The machine can be evaluated for free-flowing and difficult-to-handle vitamin powder formulations within the confirmed filling and bag-size range.
Packaging challenge |
Impact on production |
EIXPACK solution |
|---|---|---|
Fine airborne powder | Powder may enter the sealing area, weaken the seal or increase rejected packs | Controlled filling position, dust-management system and coordinated dosing and sealing timing |
Moisture absorption | Powder may cake, bridge in the hopper or build up on contact parts | Enclosed vacuum feeding, powder evaluation and moisture-aware film testing |
High sugar content | Powder may become sticky under humid production conditions | Suitable hopper agitation, short-auger design and optional discharge vibration |
Variable bulk density | Different batches or formulas may produce inconsistent filling volume | Servo-controlled auger dosing and recipe-based parameter adjustment |
Static electricity | Powder may adhere to the film, forming parts or sealing zone | Optional static-elimination system |
Continuous high-speed sealing | Heat accumulation may affect sealing stability during extended production | Optional water-cooling system and film-specific temperature testing |
Ten-lane synchronization | Small differences in feeding, film movement or dosing can affect several packs simultaneously | Synchronized servo control, automatic film alignment and lane-by-lane adjustment |
Powder remaining in the stick | Poor powder settling may affect pack shape or enter the cross-seal area | Optional filling or discharge vibration selected after sample testing |
The recommended solution is a 10-lane multi-lane system based on EIXPACK’s Powder Stick Pack Machine platform.
Each lane completes dosing, forming, longitudinal sealing, cross sealing and cutting within one synchronized machine. The configuration is suitable for vitamin powder manufacturers that need higher capacity than a single-lane or dual-lane system can provide.
The short auger controls the quantity of powder discharged during each filling cycle.
Servo control allows the rotation parameters to be adjusted according to fill weight, powder density and flowability.
For high-value vitamin formulas, consistent dosing also helps reduce unnecessary product giveaway caused by overfilling.
The vacuum feeder transfers powder to the dosing hopper and reduces repeated manual loading.
A more consistent hopper level supports continuous operation across all ten lanes.
The transfer system should be evaluated using the actual powder because very fine, sticky or caking formulas may require different filters, transfer timing or hopper controls.
Dust control focuses on limiting airborne powder around the dosing outlet and sealing area.
The required extraction position and airflow should be adjusted without disturbing dosing accuracy or film movement.
Fine powder and rollstock film may develop static electricity during high-speed production.
Static elimination helps reduce powder attraction to film surfaces, forming components and the sealing area.
Continuous multi-lane sealing creates a sustained thermal load. A water-cooling system can be evaluated to support more controlled sealing-jaw temperature during extended operation.
The sealing temperature, pressure, contact time and cooling arrangement must be matched to the final film.
Checkweighing, metal detection, vision inspection, counting, grouping and cartoning can be evaluated according to the customer’s quality requirements and finished-pack format.
Planning these modules before the main machine layout is finalized can prevent manual secondary packaging from becoming the production bottleneck.
EIXPACK developed a 10-lane system for Nutracap Holdings LLC, a supplement manufacturer in the United States.
The project involved moisture-sensitive and dust-prone vitamin powder packed in rounded-corner, easy-tear stick packs. The system integrated automatic powder feeding, auger dosing, film alignment, forming, sealing, date coding, cutting and finished-pack discharge.

while reducing manual handling, filling variation, powder leakage and product trapping in the sealing area.
A suitable machine should first maintain controlled powder flow and clean sealing. Lane count and maximum speed should only be selected after these two conditions have been tested.

Vitamin powder and film samples can be evaluated before the final configuration is confirmed. Testing helps identify flowability, dust behavior, moisture sensitivity, filling stability and sealing risk.
The auger, hopper, feeding method, forming components, sealing settings and optional systems can be selected according to the actual formulation and production target.
The machine and downstream equipment can be planned according to factory space, material flow, cleaning access, operator position and future automation requirements.
Feeding, dosing, film movement, sealing, coding, cutting and output can be reviewed under agreed FAT conditions before shipment.
Remote or on-site installation and commissioning can be arranged according to the project agreement and destination. Operator training, maintenance guidance and recommended spare-parts lists can also be provided.
The line can be evaluated for future connection with inspection, counting, conveying, cartoning and case-packing equipment.
The supplied project requirement is 10–20g per stick. Other filling weights may require a different auger, filling outlet, forming set or machine configuration.
A 10-lane configuration can be designed for a target output of up to 400 sticks per minute. The confirmed speed depends on powder behavior, filling weight, bag size, film, coding, sealing and continuous test results.
The auger controls powder discharge by screw rotation, while servo control allows filling parameters to be adjusted for different powder densities and target weights. The short-auger structure can be selected to suit the filling distance and powder behavior.
It can be evaluated for high-sugar powder, but humidity, stickiness, caking and hopper buildup must be tested. Additional agitation, vibration, dust control or cleaning access may be required.
Powder trapping is controlled by coordinating the feeding rate, auger timing, filling position, film movement and sealing timing. Dust extraction and static elimination may be added when required.
The final film should be selected according to the required moisture, oxygen, light and aroma barrier, as well as its sealing range and machinability. The actual laminated structure must be confirmed through shelf-life and sealing tests.
It may be possible within the machine’s confirmed range. Each formula should be tested because density, sugar content, particle size and moisture sensitivity can require different recipes, augers or hopper settings.
Yes. Counting, grouping, conveying and cartoning can be evaluated according to the number of sticks per carton, stick orientation and target line speed.
The exact cleaning and removal method for this configuration must be confirmed before publication and quotation. Cleaning requirements should be reviewed according to formula change frequency, allergen controls and factory procedures.
