APPLICATIONS
Samfull recently completed a stick pack packaging machine project for a customer from Colombia. The customer needed a reliable solution for packing protein powder, nutritional powder, and fine powder mixed with small granules into slim back-seal stick packs.
After comparing machine configuration, powder filling stability, film compatibility, after-sales communication, and overall cost performance, the customer finally chose Samfull’s SF-3.0S Series Stick Pack Packaging Machine.
This project was designed for small-dose powder packaging, with a filling volume of 10ml–20ml and a target speed of 30–35 cuts per minute.

OPTIONAL DEVICES
For this Colombia protein powder stick pack packaging project, the following optional devices can be configured according to product characteristics and production requirements:
Industrial Dust Collector
Helps remove floating powder during filling, keeping the sealing area cleaner and reducing the risk of powder contamination on the seal.
Anti-Static Device
Reduces static electricity on film and powder, helping prevent powder adhesion and improving bag forming stability.
Date Coding Printer
Used for printing production date, expiry date, batch number, or lot code on each stick pack.
Easy-Tear Notch Device
Creates a tear notch on the stick pack, making the finished bag easier for consumers to open.
Serrated / Mesh Cutting Knife
Provides a clean serrated cutting edge and improves the final bag appearance.
Safety Door Switch
Automatically stops the machine when the safety door is opened, improving operator safety during production.
Reject Device for Unqualified Bags
Removes defective bags during production and helps maintain better final product quality.
Discharge Conveyor
Transfers finished stick packs smoothly from the packing machine to the collection area or secondary packaging process.
Check Weigher
Checks the weight of finished stick packs and rejects underweight or overweight products.
Metal Detector
Detects metal contamination in finished stick packs, suitable for food, supplement, and pharmaceutical packaging requirements.
Nitrogen Flushing Device
Can be added when the product needs better protection against oxidation, moisture, or shelf-life loss.
Automatic Counting and Cartoning Connection
Can connect the stick pack machine with counting, grouping, and cartoning equipment for higher automation.
Film Deviation Correction Device
Helps keep the film running position stable, especially for printed film with registration marks.
Hole Punching Device
Can be used if the customer needs hanging-hole stick packs for retail display.
Custom Language Interface
Chinese, English, Spanish, or other languages can be configured according to the operator’s local use requirements.
DESCRIPTION
The Colombian customer was looking for a practical packaging solution for powder products used in the food, nutrition, and supplement market. Their products included protein powder and other fine powder formulations, which required accurate dosing, clean sealing, and good bag appearance.
For powder stick pack projects, the biggest challenges are usually:
Powder dust during filling
Powder sticking to the sealing area
Unstable filling for fine powder
Film static electricity
Poor easy-tear performance
Seal leakage caused by powder contamination
Inconsistent bag cutting and appearance
Because of these concerns, the customer needed more than a standard stick pack machine. They needed a machine configured specifically for powder packaging.

Overall layout footprint with feeding system: approx. 3535 × 3466 mm
The customer’s product was not a simple free-flowing granule. It included protein powder and fine powder mixed with small particles, which requires experience in auger dosing, dust control, sealing design, and anti-static treatment.
Samfull has handled many stick pack projects for powder products such as:
Protein powder
Electrolyte powder
Collagen powder
Coffee powder
Milk powder
Vitamin powder
Nutritional supplement powder
Instant drink powder
This experience helped the customer feel confident that the machine configuration could match their real production conditions.
For this project, Samfull used a short auger dosing system.
Compared with ordinary cup dosing, auger dosing is more suitable for powder products because it can provide better control for fine powder and mixed powder materials. This is especially important for small-volume stick packs in the 10ml–20ml range.
The short auger design helps improve filling stability while reducing product residue and material waste during production.
Protein powder and fine powder can easily create dust during filling. If the powder enters the sealing area, it may cause poor sealing, leakage, or dirty bag appearance.
To solve this problem, the machine was equipped with an industrial dust collector.
This configuration helps:
Reduce floating powder
Keep the sealing area cleaner
Improve sealing quality
Reduce machine cleaning frequency
Improve the production environment
Make the finished stick packs more stable and professional
For powder packaging projects, this is an important configuration rather than an optional decoration.
The customer’s production order also required an anti-static device.
When using composite film or aluminum film, static electricity may cause powder to stick to the film surface or sealing area. This can affect bag forming, sealing quality, and final appearance.
The anti-static system helps reduce static interference and improves the stability of the packaging process.
The machine was designed to run composite film and aluminum film, with a film thickness of 9–10 silk.
For protein powder and nutritional powder, aluminum film is commonly used because it provides better protection against moisture, oxygen, and light. This helps reduce caking, odor transfer, and product quality loss during storage and transportation.
This makes the solution suitable for commercial powder packaging, especially for products sold in retail channels or sample packs.
The final solution supplied to the Colombia customer was one set of SF-3.0S Stick Pack Packaging Machine with the following main configurations:
Siemens control system
304 stainless steel machine structure
Short auger dosing system
Back seal stick pack forming
Industrial dust collector
Anti-static device
Easy-tear notch function
Mesh cutting knife
Date coding function
Safety switch
Automatic stop when door is opened
Cutting edge function
Spanish operation language
Standard export wooden case packing
This configuration was selected based on the customer’s product characteristics and real production requirements.
The final stick pack size was:
38mm width × 160mm length
The bag used a back-seal structure with:
5mm vertical seal width
8mm top and bottom seal width
Easy-tear opening
Clean cutting edge
Slim stick pack appearance
This type of bag is suitable for single-use powder products, sample distribution, daily nutrition packs, and portable supplement packaging.
This machine can be used for many similar powder and fine granule products, including:
Protein powder stick packs
Nutritional powder stick packs
Electrolyte powder stick packs
Collagen powder stick packs
Vitamin powder stick packs
Coffee powder stick packs
Milk powder sample packs
Instant drink powder stick packs
Supplement powder stick packs
Fine powder mixed with small granules
For customers in Colombia and other Latin American markets, this machine provides a flexible solution for small-dose powder packaging.
After confirming the production requirements, Samfull provided a customized stick pack solution based on the customer’s product type, bag size, filling volume, film material, power standard, and local language requirement.
The final machine met the customer’s key requirements:
Stable powder filling
Clean back-seal stick pack forming
Good compatibility with aluminum film
Dust control for fine powder
Anti-static treatment
Easy-tear opening
Siemens control system
Spanish-friendly operation
Suitable for Colombian 3-phase 220V 60Hz power supply
This project shows Samfull’s practical experience in powder stick pack packaging, especially for protein powder and nutritional supplement products.
For this Colombia project, Samfull supplied one set of SF-3.0S Series Stick Pack Packaging Machine for protein powder and fine powder granule packaging. The machine was configured with short auger dosing, dust collection, anti-static device, easy-tear notch, mesh cutting knife, and Siemens control system.
This solution is suitable for manufacturers and co-packers who need stable, compact, and professional stick pack packaging for powder products.
