Is a Tablets Packaging Machine Right for Small-Dose Sachets?


You're packaging water pills or proprietary Chinese medicines into small sachets. The output target is 30-40 bags per minute, and each bag needs a clean, fully sealed edge. A Tablets Packaging Machine with multi-line four-side sealing capability delivers this output without sacrificing seal integrity. The DXDO-P900E uses a roller heat sealing system and six parallel lanes to produce fully enclosed pouches at production speed. This article explains how the six-line architecture works, what four-side sealing means for product protection, and what to verify before specifying a sachet packaging machine for your pharmaceutical or food production.


How Does Six-Lane Operation Affect Output?

The DXDO-P900E operates six parallel lanes, each producing its own sachet. At a speed of 30-40 bags per minute per line, the machine delivers a combined output of 180-240 bags per minute across all six lanes. This multi-line architecture is what makes the machine suitable for small-dose products — water pills, proprietary Chinese medicines, and similar items that are packaged in high volumes but require individual sachets.

Output Rate and Lane Configuration

The six-line configuration is the core of the machine's productivity. Each lane operates independently, producing sachets at 30-40 per minute. The combined output scales linearly with the number of lanes, making the machine adaptable to different production volume requirements. The bag length is adjustable from 50-150mm without changing the mould, and the bag width ranges from 40-105mm.

What Products Benefit From Multi-Lane Sachet Packaging

The machine applies to medicine, food, and daily-use chemical industries. It is particularly suitable for unbonded pills and all kinds of proprietary Chinese medicines and water pills. The measuring range of 1-80ml covers the small-dose quantities typical of these products.


Why Does Four-Side Sealing Matter for Hygroscopic Products?

Small-dose products are sensitive to moisture. Water pills and Chinese medicine granules absorb humidity from the air, which degrades potency and shortens shelf life. A sachet with an open edge allows moisture to enter. Four-side sealing closes that pathway. Every edge of the pouch is heat-sealed, creating a fully enclosed package with uniform edge strength. The roller heat sealing system applies consistent temperature and pressure across all four edges, ensuring that every sachet in the production run has the same seal integrity. The applicable films — PET/AL/PE, PET/PE, NY/AL/PE, and NY/PE — are selected for their moisture barrier properties. The aluminum-containing structures (PET/AL/PE and NY/AL/PE) provide the highest barrier, making them suitable for pharmaceutical products that require extended shelf life.

The Roller Heat Sealing Process

The machine uses roller heat sealing for the four-side seal. This process applies continuous pressure and temperature as the film passes between heated rollers, creating a uniform seal across the full width of the sachet. The sealing temperature is monitored and controlled to maintain consistent bond strength.

Film Compatibility for Barrier Protection

The machine is compatible with PET/AL/PE, PET/PE, NY/AL/PE, and NY/PE laminate films. The maximum film roll width is 900mm, with a maximum roll diameter of Φ300mm and a core diameter of Φ75mm. The aluminum foil layers in PET/AL/PE and NY/AL/PE provide the moisture and light barrier that pharmaceutical products require.

The man-machine interface allows regulation of longitudinal sealing, transverse sealing, filling, notch cutting, longitudinal cutting, fracture line making, and transverse cutting. The automatic counting and photoelectric tracking system ensures accurate page correction for double-face printing design.


Which Industries Benefit From Multi-Lane Sachet Packaging?

The DXDO-P900E serves production environments where small-dose products require individual sachet packaging at volume. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, food processors, and daily chemical producers all benefit from the combination of multi-line output and four-side seal integrity.

  • Pharmaceutical production — water pills, proprietary Chinese medicines, and small-dose tablets

  • Food industry — single-serve powders, condiments, and specialty ingredients

  • Daily chemical products — sample sachets, single-use doses, and travel-size packaging

  • Contract packaging — high-mix, short-run sachet production for multiple clients

  • Nutraceuticals — herbal supplements, traditional medicines, and health products

Pharmaceutical and Traditional Medicine Applications

The machine is particularly suitable for unbonded pills, proprietary Chinese medicines, and water pills. The four-side seal and aluminum-containing film structures provide the moisture barrier that these hygroscopic products require.

Food and Daily Chemical Applications

Food powders, single-serve condiments, and daily chemical samples also benefit from the multi-line sachet format. The 1-80ml measuring range covers the portion sizes used in these applications.


Common Questions About Tablets Sachet Packaging

What is the difference between four-side sealing and three-side sealing?

Four-side sealing creates a sealed perimeter on all four edges of the pouch. Three-side sealing leaves one edge open. The four-side seal provides a fully enclosed package with uniform edge strength, reducing the risk of tearing or leakage during handling and shipping.

How does the measuring system ensure fill accuracy?

The machine uses volumetric measurement with a measuring range of 1-80ml. The measuring cup is adjustable within its specification range, allowing precise control of fill volume across production runs.

What maintenance does the machine require?

Routine maintenance includes checking seal temperature and pressure, inspecting the film feed path, and verifying the measuring cup volume. The PLC control system and photoelectric tracking system require periodic calibration to maintain accuracy.

Can the machine be customized for different sachet sizes?

Yes. Bag length is adjustable from 50-150mm without changing the mould. The manufacturer offers design changes based on customer requirements, including adjustments to pouch dimensions and film specifications.
