Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Automatic Sachet Counting Machine for Your Production Line

Por /

Introducción

In modern packaging lines, the Automatic Sachet Counting Machine—también llamado Sachet Sorting Counting Machine—is a key piece of equipment for boosting efficiency and reducing costs. But with so many models and technical solutions on the market, how do you choose the one that truly fits your production needs?

Selecting the right model is critical. The right choice can significantly improve output, cut labor expenses, and ensure consistent quality. The wrong choice can lead to wasted investment and create bottlenecks that slow down your entire production line.

This guide provides a practical, step-by-step selection framework—covering key decision factors, technical comparisons, and real case studies—so you can make a confident, informed choice.

Chapter 1: Core Factors to Consider When Selecting a Sachet Counting Machine

1.1 Product Characteristics

Before looking at models, analyze your product specifications in detail:

  • Sachet Size Range – Each model has a defined length range. For example, the FL10-1800 handles 85–168 mm sachets, while the FL10-2800 covers 145–290 mm. If your product range is wide, you may need a model with a broader range or multiple machines.
  • Material & Thickness – Light plastic film bags may require anti-static features, heavy aluminum foil bags need stronger drive capacity, and paper sachets may need gentler handling.
  • Weight & Density – Heavier products demand stronger motors and frames, while very light sachets may drift at high speeds without precise positioning systems.
  • Shape & Flexibility – Flat, rectangular sachets are easier to handle than irregular or soft sachets, which may require advanced alignment and control.Máquina contadora de sobres

1.2 Production Requirements

Your production speed, daily volume, and operational hours determine the capacity you need.

  • Speed Matching – The machine should at least match your packaging line’s pace. For example:
  • FL10 series: 80–120 sachets/min (small–medium scale)
  • FL14 series: 100–120 sachets/min (medium scale)
  • FL20-3200: 180–300 sachets/min (large scale)
  • Product Variety – If you handle multiple sizes, look for quick changeover features such as interchangeable rollers (φ12 mm–φ29 mm).
  • Order Fluctuations – Seasonal peaks require adjustable throughput without losing stability.

 

1.3 Technical Requirements

  • Exactitud – Servo control + photoelectric sensors ensure precise counting and gentle handling.
  • Estabilidad – Look for proven reliability, quality components, and preventive maintenance features.
  • Cumplimiento de la higiene – In food, pharma, and cosmetics, choose GMP-compliant designs with easy-clean surfaces.
  • Environmental Adaptability – Ensure protection against heat, humidity, or dust as required.

1.4 Space & Installation

  • Check equipment dimensions against your floor plan, leaving room for operation, maintenance, and safety.
  • Match interfaces with upstream and downstream equipment (height, width, feeding direction).
  • Verify available power (4.7–8.7 kW depending on model) and air supply.

FL20-3200 180–300 84–168 φ12 20 8.7 kW 820 kg Large-scale, high-speed lines

Chapter 3: Step-by-Step Selection Process

  • Research & Analyze – Map your current line, collect sachet specs, and forecast 3–5 years ahead.
  • Identify Pain Points – Quantify labor costs, speed limits, and quality issues.
  • Define Technical Needs – Include performance, compatibility, and hygiene requirements.
  • Evaluate Multiple Options – Compare technical capability, cost, and ease of integration.
  • Check Supplier Strength – Review R&D, manufacturing quality, service network, and references.
  • Test & Verify – Conduct trial runs with real products before finalizing.

Chapter 4: Case Studies

Food Manufacturer Upgrade

  • Old: Manual 25–30 sachets/min, 4 workers, 2–3% errors.
  • New: FL14-2900, 100–110 sachets/min, 1 operator, <0.1% errors. ROI in 18 months.

Pharmaceutical GMP Compliance

  • Challenge: Zero contamination, strict hygiene, high accuracy.
  • Solution: Custom FL20-3200 with 316L stainless steel, no-dead-angle design, full validation docs.
  • Result: 10× speed increase, passed GMP audit, ROI in 3 years.

Export Packaging Flexibility

  • Challenge: 8+ product sizes, frequent changeovers.
  • Solution: FL14-2900 with modular rollers, 30-min changeovers, one-touch recipe switching.
  • Result: 60% higher efficiency, reduced equipment count.

Chapter 5: ROI & Risk Control

  • Direct Savings – Labor cost reductions of 80% or more.
  • Revenue Gains – Faster output = more orders fulfilled.
  • Quality Benefits – Lower defect rates, fewer complaints.
  • Risk Control – Choose scalable, upgradeable models from proven suppliers.
