Why Choose TL-CT-S Series for Stick Pack Cartoning Applications

( 01 ) Eliminates Manual Stick Arrangement

Multi-lane stick pack fillers output products in random orientations that traditionally require manual sorting before cartoning.

The integrated sorting system automates the entire arrangement process, reducing labor costs and eliminating a production bottleneck.

( 02 ) Keeps Pace with High-Speed Stick Fillers

Processing up to 200 sticks per minute, the sorting system matches output rates of modern multi-lane stick pack filling machines.

Continuous operation maintains steady carton production without accumulation delays.

( 03 ) Precise Stick Counting per Carton

Optional counting devices ensure exact stick quantities in every carton.

Whether packaging 10-count retail boxes or 30-count bulk cartons, the system delivers consistent counts without manual verification.

( 04 ) Flexible Stick Arrangement Patterns

Configure single-row vertical arrangements, horizontal layered stacks, or bundled multi-row formations.

The collection system adapts to various carton styles and consumer packaging preferences common in stick pack markets.

( 05 ) Gentle Handling Protects Stick Pack Integrity

Servo-controlled movements throughout sorting and cartoning prevent damage to stick pack seals.

Powder, granule, and liquid stick products maintain package integrity from filling line to finished carton.

How Automatic Stick Pack Sorting and Cartoning Works

Stick packs exit multi-lane filling machines in random orientations, creating a challenge for secondary packaging operations.

The TL-CT-S series solves the problem with an integrated sorting system that receives chaotic stick flows and transforms them into orderly, single-file formations ready for cartoning.
The sorting mechanism gently captures each stick pack, orients it correctly, and delivers sticks individually to the cartoning section.

Optional counting devices accumulate precise quantities before loading, while collection systems arrange sticks in single rows or bundled multi-row configurations based on carton requirements.

Once sorted and counted, stick packs transfer into pre-formed cartons automatically. Servo-driven motions ensure gentle handling throughout the process, protecting delicate stick pack seals from damage. The complete system operates through an intuitive touchscreen interface for easy recipe management and production monitoring.

Ideal Applications for TL-CT-S Series Stick Pack Cartoning Machine

( 01 ) Pharmaceutical Stick Packs

Single-dose powder medications, oral rehydration salts, and supplement sticks require accurate counting and gentle handling.

The TL-CT-S series maintains package integrity while ensuring precise quantities per carton for regulatory compliance.

( 02 ) Instant Beverage Sticks

Coffee, tea, cocoa, and flavored drink mixes packaged in stick format benefit from high-speed sorting that keeps pace with fast filling operations.

Flexible arrangement options accommodate various retail carton configurations.

( 03 ) Food and Seasoning Sticks

Sugar, sweetener, salt, pepper, and condiment sticks require efficient cartoning for foodservice and retail distribution.

The sorting system handles the high volumes typical in food ingredient packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

( 01 ) How does the stick sorting system work?

The sorting system receives randomly oriented stick packs from upstream filling equipment.

Mechanical guides and controlled movements capture individual sticks, rotate them to proper orientation, and release them in single-file formation. The process happens continuously at speeds up to 200 sticks per minute.

( 02 ) How many sticks can be packed into each carton?

Stick quantity per carton depends on stick dimensions and carton size. The optional counting device can be programmed for any quantity within physical space limits.

Common configurations range from 7-count retail boxes to 50-count bulk cartons.

( 03 ) What is the difference between TL-CT-200S and TL-CT-300S?

The TL-CT-300S accommodates larger carton dimensions with box widths up to 240mm and lengths up to 300mm, compared to 160mm width and 200mm length for the TL-CT-200S.

Both models share identical stick sorting speeds. Choose based on your carton size requirements.
