Primary Industry Context: Elevating Packaging Automation in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's manufacturing landscape is experiencing a massive technological shift. From the bustling industrial zones of Katunayake, Biyagama, and Kandy to export hubs in Colombo, Sri Lankan food processing, pharmaceutical, FMCG, and Ceylon Tea enterprises are aggressively upgrading their secondary packaging efficiency. Transitioning from semi-automated manual cartoning to fully automated multi-lane stickpack filling and cartoning lines has become essential for maintaining global competitiveness, meeting strict European and Middle Eastern import standards, and combatting rising local labor overheads.

As a premier Chinese manufacturer with over two decades of engineering authority, our customized packaging lines bridge primary pouch/stickpack formation directly into automatic horizontal cartoning. By automating bag grouping, servo bucket transfer, leaflet insertion, box erection, and hot-melt or tuck-in sealing into a unified continuous flow, we enable Sri Lankan producers to increase output by up to 300% while drastically lowering material wastage.

"The integration of multi-lane stickpack VFFS machines with automated horizontal cartoners provides Sri Lankan food & spice exporters with complete batch traceability, tamper-proof secondary sealing, and operational resilience against tropical ambient humidity."

Turnkey Operational Architecture: From Powder Dosing to Box Sealing

Our continuous-motion cartoning production lines engineered for Sri Lanka are built around a synchronized modular framework. Below is the step-by-step visual representation of how primary stickpacks are smoothly transformed into finished, retail-ready cartons:

STEP 01
Multi-Lane Primary Dosing

Rotary auger or volumetric cups dose fine powders (Ceylon tea, spices, 3-in-1 coffee) into multi-lane film tracks with precision micro-accuracy.

STEP 02
Vertical Form-Fill-Seal

Servo-driven longitudinal and transverse heat-sealing jaws form airtight stickpacks, equipped with tear-notches and date coding.

STEP 03
Robotic Stacking & Transfer

Optical sensors count individual stickpacks, grouping them into specified quantities (e.g., 10, 20, 50 sticks) into custom conveyor buckets.

STEP 04
Leaflet Folding & Insertion

Automatic GUK-style leaflet feeder pulls, folds pharmaceutical/brand literature, and places it alongside the grouped sachet stack.

STEP 05
Carton Erection & Sealing

Flat paperboard blanks are suction-opened, stickpacks are gently pushed into the carton, followed by Nordson hot-melt glue or mechanical tuck-in closure.
