From Single Machine to Full Turnkey Line
Choose Your Automation Level
Single Machine
One specific task. One machine. Immediate impact.
Startups, small factories, or teams removing one clear bottleneck.
One filling, sealing, or processing machine — standalone with manual feeding, or a basic feeder.
When the next step becomes the new bottleneck, or when labor reduction becomes the priority.
- Auger filler for spice powder
- Piston filler for sauces
- VFFS machine for snacks
- Continuous fryer for snack line
Semi-Automatic Setup
Core automation, flexible operator involvement.
Growing operations that want stable throughput with flexible changeovers.
2–4 machines linked by conveyors, with operators at feeding, inspection, or packing-out.
When labor cost is significant, or when output/quality consistency needs more automation.
- VFFS + multi-head weigher + metal detector
- Liquid filler + capper + labeler
- Frying line + seasoning + cooling conveyor
Fully Automatic Line
High throughput. Minimal labor. Consistent quality.
Established producers targeting high volume, export consistency, or strict hygiene standards.
End-to-end line from feeding to finished output — PLC/HMI controlled, minimal manual steps.
When volume justifies the investment, or compliance/traceability requirements increase.
- VFFS powder line: silo → auger → VFFS → checkweigher → case packer
- Bottle line: fill → cap → label
- Complete snack frying + packing line
Turnkey / Custom Engineering
Your product. Your process. Built from scratch.
New facility builds, unique products, OEM partners, or buyers who want one point of responsibility.
Full engineering project: process design → machine selection → custom fabrication → FAT → installation → commissioning → training.
When standard machines cannot meet your product, hygiene, throughput, or compliance requirements.
- Pharma powder sachet filling line
- Multi-format flexible packaging line
- Full snack processing + packaging facility

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a turnkey packaging line?
A complete, integrated production system built to your specification — from feeding to filling, sealing, inspection, packing-out, and palletizing. We cover design, manufacturing, factory testing, and handover.
How do I choose between a single machine and a full line?
Choose a single machine for one bottleneck. Choose semi-auto/full line when throughput and consistency matter and you want to reduce manual steps. Choose turnkey when building a new facility or changing process scope.
Can SunGene integrate machines from other brands?
Yes. We can integrate with existing equipment where feasible and design controls (PLC/HMI) for mixed-brand lines based on interface conditions.
What is the typical lead time for a fully automatic line?
Typically 60–120 days depending on scope and customization. Single machines may ship in 30–45 days when configuration is straightforward.
Not sure which level fits your operation?
Send your product, packaging format, output target, and destination voltage/frequency. We will recommend a practical automation scope.
