Packaging machinery is used throughout all packaging operations, involving primary packages to distribution packs. This includes many packaging processes: fabrication, cleaning, filling, sealing, combining, labeling, overwrapping, palletizing.

Overview

[

edit

]

Some packaging operations cannot be accomplished without packaging equipment. For example many packages include heat seals to prepare or seal a package. Heat sealers are needed, even in slow labor-intensive operations.

With many industries, the effectiveness of the heat seal is critical to product safety so the heat sealing operation must closely controlled with documented Verification and validation protocols. Food, drug, and medical regulations require consistent seals on packages. Proper equipment is needed.

Automation

Packaging operations can be designed for variable package sizes and forms or for handling only uniform packages, where the machinery or packaging line is adjustable between production runs. Certainly slow manual operations allow workers to be flexible to package variation but also some automated lines can handle significant random variation.[1]

Moving from manual operations, through semi-automatic operations to fully automated packaging lines offers advantages to some packagers.[2] Other than the obvious control of labor costs, quality can be more consistent, and throughput can be optimized.[3]

Efforts at packaging line automation increasingly use programmable logic controllers[4] and robotics.[5]

Large fully automatic packaging lines can involve several pieces of major equipment from different manufactures as well as conveyors and ancillary equipment. Integrating such systems can be a challenge. Often consultants or external engineering firms are used to coordinate large projects.

Choosing packaging machinery

[

Choosing packaging machinery includes an assessment of technical capabilities, labor requirements, worker safety, maintainability, serviceability, reliability, ability to integrate into the packaging line, capital cost, floorspace, flexibility (change-over, materials, multiple products, etc.), energy requirements, quality of outgoing packages, qualifications (for food, pharmaceuticals, etc.), throughput, efficiency, productivity, ergonomics, return on investment, etc.

Packaging machinery can be:

1. purchased as standard, off-the-shelf equipment
2. purchased custom-made or custom-tailored to specific operations
3. purchased refurbished and upgraded
4. manufactured or modified by in-house engineers and maintenance staff

In addition to purchasing equipment, leasing options are often attractive.[6]

Machinery must be compatible with the expected operating conditions. For example, cold temperature operations require special considerations.[7] Some industries must perform periodic washdowns of all equipment. This high pressure chemical washing puts special demands on machinery and control systems.[8][9] Condensation within closed portions of machinery can also be problematic.

Machinery needs to keep control of the product being packaged. For example, powders need to be stable, liquids cannot slosh out,[10] etc.

Some manufacturers decide not to do their own packaging but to employ contract packagers to perform all or some operations. Capital, labor, and other costs are outsourced.

Types of machinery

Packaging machines may be of the following general types:

Function

[

Packaging is necessary to protect products, and is now done mainly through the use of packaging machinery. Machinery plays increasingly important roles such as:

• Improve labor productivity. Sliding blister sealing machine packaging machinery is much faster than manual packaging. One good example of this is the candy packing machine. Here, hundreds to thousands of candies can be wrapped in minutes.
• Ensure packaging quality. Mechanical packaging is particularly important for exported goods to achieve consistent packaging.
• Handle specialized requirements, such as vacuum packaging, inflatable packaging, skin packaging and pressure filling.
• Reduce labor and improve working conditions for bulky/heavy products.
• Protect workers from health effects brought by dust, toxic/hazardous products and prevent environmental contamination.
• Reduce packaging costs and save storage costs for loose products, such as cotton, tobacco, silk, linen, etc., by simply using compression packaging.
• Reliably ensure product hygiene by eliminating hand contact with food and medicines.

1. How are packaging machines classified?

The packaging machine can meet various packaging requirements. They are designed to package different types of products. The following categories can be used to categorize packaging machines:

1) Vertical filling and sealing machine

Because vertical form fill seal (VFFS) packaging machines are fast, cost-effective, and save a lot of space on the production floor, it&#;s no surprise that virtually every industry uses vertical form packaging machines today.

The basic operation of a vertical packaging machine involves taking a large roll of film, forming it into a bag, placing items into the bag, and finally closing the bag. In contrast, machines move vertically at speeds of up to one hundred bags per minute.

VFFS machines are capable of processing a wide variety of materials including, but not limited to, paper, plastic laminates, cellophane, aluminum foil, and laminated films (lamination). From candies to powders to oatmeal, VVFS machines can package a variety of items. Additionally, there are other types of VVFS machines.

All these are:

#1. Single-line vertical packaging machine

You can use this packaging equipment to package everything from food to chemicals to pharmaceuticals. For example, milk powder, soybean milk powder, oatmeal, sesame paste, sugar, various condiments, spices, and various medicines can be dissolved in water and eaten as a supplement.
