Engineered for high efficiency, speed, and continuous operations. Optimized for Colombian regional standards (220V/440V 60Hz).
As the third-largest economy in South America, Colombia is undergoing a profound industrial transformation. Driven by consumer demands in metropolitan areas like Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla, packaging standards are shifting away from traditional, bulky containers toward high-barrier, single-serve formats. Known locally as "mini-dosis" or "sachets", these micro-packaging styles are crucial in food retail, personal care, and pharmaceutical sectors.
For agricultural exporters, especially within Colombia’s renowned coffee region (Eje Cafetero), the capability to package premium freeze-dried instant coffee and 3-in-1 coffee formulations locally preserves essential aromatic qualities. Standard vertical form fill seal (VFFS) systems lack the throughput needed for global demand. Hence, multi-lane sachet packaging systems are critical assets, converting raw material into export-ready products with maximum efficiency and minimal material waste.
Furthermore, local cosmetic manufacturers serving the Andean region rely on reliable packaging lines to distribute shampoo, conditioner, skin gels, and creams. This requires exporters to supply versatile multi-lane liquid packaging machines capable of processing high-viscosity products while maintaining exact portion control and leak-proof seal integrity.
Key technical considerations for operations managers procuring high-capacity multi-lane packaging machinery.
Procuring capital equipment for operations in Colombia demands focus beyond the initial purchase price. Plant directors must examine mechanical durability, film consumption efficiency, and power requirements. High-performance multi-lane sachet machines run continuous web structures split into 4 to 12 lanes, demanding precise lateral tension control and thermal consistency across all sealing jaws.
A slight temperature shift across the seal bars can cause micro-perforations, leading to leaks, spoiled batches, and compromised shelf life. Collins addresses this with independent, PID-controlled heaters for each lane, ensuring reliable seal integrity even under fluctuations in local grid voltage.
Depending on the product, the dosing mechanism must be customized to prevent damage to the product and preserve packaging efficiency:
| Technical Parameter | Standard Multi-Lane Specifications | Colombia Plant Adaptation |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Lanes | 2 to 12 Lanes | Customized to layout and production space limits |
| Packaging Speed | 30 to 60 strokes/min per lane | Variable frequency control based on local raw materials |
| Film Materials | PET/AL/PE, PET/PE, Paper/PE, Nylon co-extrusions | Calibrated for domestic film stocks (e.g. Carvajal) |
| Control Architecture | PLC with Touch Screen HMI | English/Spanish bilingual interface with remote access |
| Electrical Grid | 380V 50Hz (Standard Asia/EU) | Custom built for 220V/440V 60Hz three-phase supply |

Helping Colombian producers satisfy INVIMA inspections, preserve clean manufacturing zones, and achieve smooth system integration.
In Colombia, the Instituto Nacional de Vigilancia de Medicamentos y Alimentos (INVIMA) enforces rigorous sanitary codes. Our packaging equipment is designed to exceed these requirements:
To comply with local regulations and combat counterfeit goods, products must feature clear lot numbers, manufacturing dates, and expiration dates. Collins multi-lane packing lines support integrated coding and verification technologies:
Our systems mount Thermal Transfer Overprinters (TTO) and Laser Coders directly onto the film web, applying precise high-density codes across all lanes. High-speed vision inspection cameras can also be added, identifying and rejecting malformed sachets or illegible codes automatically.

Answers to common questions regarding local deployment, technical performance, and post-sale technical support.
Most of our systems are built to run on standard EU/China electrical configurations (380V/50Hz). However, for Colombia, we customize our control cabinets and drive systems to support three-phase 220V or 440V at 60Hz. This ensures stable power distribution and protects the electronics without needing external, heavy step-down transformers.
Yes. With increasing packaging taxes and environmental regulations in Colombia, our multi-lane machines feature highly customizable heat-sealing control loops. This allows them to run biodegradable materials, kraft paper laminates, and single-material recyclable films (like PP) while maintaining strong, airtight seals.
Collins maintains a dedicated international service team. We offer 24/7 online diagnostics via built-in VPN modules on the machine's PLC. For spare parts, we ship via express air courier (DHL/FedEx) to cities like Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali within 3 to 5 business days, ensuring minimal disruption to your production schedules.
For fine powders, we utilize individual servo-driven augers for each lane. This design allows for independent adjustments on each lane, keeping dosing accuracy within ±1% to 1.5% margins. This precision reduces product giveaway, saving significant costs over high-volume production runs.
Absolutely. Every machine built for food or pharmaceutical applications uses polished SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel for all parts that touch the product. The design features sanitary, easy-to-clean structures that eliminate product traps, making them ideal for plants undergoing INVIMA inspections.
Custom-engineered multi-lane machines usually require 45 to 60 days for fabrication, testing, and FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing). Shipping to major Colombian ports like Buenaventura or Cartagena typically takes 30 to 40 days, meaning total project delivery times range from 90 to 110 days.
