The Ry-1200-12FDB-F is a high-speed multi-lane stick pack packaging machine that simultaneously forms, fills, seals, and cuts twelve stick packs per cycle, achieving an output of 360 to 420 finished bags per minute. Designed for powder, granule, and liquid products in small-dose stick pack formats, the machine serves food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and chemical manufacturers who require maximum throughput in a single compact footprint.
With a 1200 mm maximum film roll width, the machine divides the film web into twelve lanes, each producing stick packs 45 to 150 mm long and 40 to 50 mm wide. The measuring range of 1 to 20 milliliters covers single-dose pharmaceutical powders, instant drink sticks, sugar portions, and small-quantity chemical samples. Servo-driven film pulling and dosing systems provide the positioning accuracy and fill precision that high-speed multi-lane production demands.

Key Features
- Dual-Language Touch Screen Display: The HMI supports dual-language operation, allowing facilities with multilingual staff to switch between interface languages without confusion. All production parameters, diagnostic information, and alarm messages display in the selected language, reducing operator error and accelerating training for new personnel.
- PLC Computer Control System: The imported PLC manages all twelve lanes simultaneously, coordinating film pulling, dosing, sealing, cutting, and date coding across the full web width. Parameters can be adjusted during production without stopping the machine, enabling real-time optimization of fill volume, seal temperature, and bag length.
- Ten-Recipe Storage: The system stores up to ten complete product parameter sets, including bag dimensions, fill volumes, sealing temperatures, and date coding content. Recipe recall takes seconds, reducing changeover time between products from hours to minutes and enabling rapid response to production schedule changes.
- Servo Motor Film Pulling: Each film pulling action is driven by a servo motor with closed-loop position feedback, delivering precise bag length control across all twelve lanes. The servo system eliminates the length variations that occur with mechanical cam-driven film pulling, ensuring uniform stick pack dimensions throughout the production run.
- Servo-Controlled Dosing: Product dosing on each lane is driven by individual servo motors, enabling precise measurement of powder or granule volume. The servo dosing system compensates for material density variations by adjusting the dosing stroke in real time, maintaining fill weight consistency across all twelve lanes and throughout the run.
- Independent Temperature Control (plus or minus 1 degree Celsius): Horizontal and vertical sealing stations each maintain independent temperature control loops with accuracy of plus or minus 1 degree Celsius. This granular control enables the machine to process different film materials, including composite films and PE films, by setting the optimal sealing temperature for each material type at each sealing position.
- Automatic Material Level Detection: The integrated material level sensor monitors product supply in the hopper and automatically activates the vacuum feeding system to replenish material when the level drops below the programmed threshold. This automated material handling eliminates the need for manual hopper refilling and prevents production interruptions caused by material starvation.
- Optional Dust Removal System: For powder products, an automatic dust removal and collection device prevents powder from contaminating the packaging film and the production environment. This system captures airborne powder generated during the dosing and filling process, maintaining seal area cleanliness and preventing the seal defects that powder contamination can cause.
- Single-Operation Full Automation: Material lifting, measuring, bag making, filling, sealing, date printing (ribbon printing), and product output are completed in one continuous operation across all twelve lanes simultaneously.
- Low-Noise Operation: Despite the high output rate, the machine maintains quiet operation through the use of synchronous belt drives, vibration-damped frame construction, and acoustically isolated drive components.
Working Principle: Simultaneous Multi-Lane Stick Pack Production
The Ry-1200-12FDB-F produces twelve stick packs simultaneously through a continuous multi-lane process:
- Film Unwinding and Alignment: The 1200 mm wide film roll unwinds and passes through an automatic alignment system that corrects lateral position deviations, ensuring that each of the twelve lanes receives an equal film width. Proper alignment prevents seal failures and uneven bag dimensions at the outer lanes.
- Lane Cutting and Tube Forming: The film web is divided into twelve lanes according to the required stick pack width. Each lane passes through a vertical forming tube that shapes the film into a stick pack configuration, with the longitudinal seal closing the back of each tube.
- Simultaneous Dosing and Filling: The servo-controlled dosing system measures the programmed volume of powder, granule, or liquid and dispenses it into each of the twelve formed stick packs simultaneously. The dosing accuracy is maintained across all lanes through individual servo control of each dosing mechanism.
- Horizontal Sealing: The horizontal sealing jaws seal the top and bottom edges of all twelve stick packs in a single action, creating uniform, airtight seals across the full web width. The independent temperature control system ensures that each seal receives the correct heat input for the film material in use.
- Cutting and Separation: The cutting mechanism separates each stick pack from the continuous film web, producing twelve individual finished products per cycle. The cut edges are clean and precise, suitable for direct retail packaging.
- Date Coding: A ribbon printer applies production dates, expiration dates, and batch codes to each stick pack during the sealing phase, providing traceability information on every unit.
- Product Discharge: Finished stick packs are discharged onto a collection conveyor, where they are gathered for cartoning, case packing, or direct distribution.
Applications and Compatible Products
The twelve-lane architecture is optimized for high-volume, small-dose products:
- Food and Beverage: Instant coffee sticks, sugar portions, sweetener packets, drink powder mixes, flavor enhancer sachets, and salt portions for food service.
- Pharmaceuticals: Single-dose powder medications, oral rehydration salts, effervescent powder portions, and inhalation powder doses.
- Nutraceuticals: Protein powder portions, electrolyte drink mixes, vitamin powder sachets, pre-workout supplement sticks, and meal replacement portions.
- Chemicals: Detergent portions, desiccant packets, water treatment chemical doses, and industrial additive samples.
- Cosmetics: Single-use powder cosmetics, shampoo powder sachets, and personal care sample portions.
Throughput Analysis
At the maximum output of 420 bags per minute, the Ry-1200-12FDB-F produces 25,200 stick packs per hour, or approximately 201,600 stick packs per 8-hour shift. This throughput makes the machine suitable for large-scale production environments where single-lane or lower-lane machines cannot meet volume requirements. The ten-recipe storage system enables manufacturers to run multiple products across a single shift without extended changeover downtime, maximizing equipment utilization and return on investment.
Quality Assurance and Compliance
The machine is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certification and carries CE marking. All product-contact components use food-grade materials compliant with international food machinery hygiene standards. The optional dust removal system supports pharmaceutical cleanroom requirements, and the closed material handling system prevents environmental contamination of the product during the packaging process.
