The Function of Packaging Equipment

Packaging is a necessary condition for products to enter the field of circulation, and the main means to achieve packaging is the use of packaging machinery. With the development of the times and the progress of technology, packaging equipment is playing a more and more important role in the field of packaging. Its main functions are as follows:

(1) It can greatly improve labor productivity.

Mechanical packaging is much faster than manual packaging, such as candy packaging, which can only pack more than a dozen pieces per minute by hand, while candy packaging machine can reach hundreds or even thousands of pieces per minute, which improves efficiency dozens of times.

(2) can effectively guarantee the packaging quality

Mechanical packaging can be based on the requirements of packaging items, according to the required shape, size, get the same specifications of packaging, and manual packaging is not guaranteed. This is particularly important for export commodities. Only mechanical packaging can achieve packaging standardization and conform to the requirements of collective packaging.

(3) Manual packaging can not achieve the operation

Some packaging operations, such as vacuum packaging, inflatable packaging, body-fitted packaging, isobaric filling and so on, can not be achieved by manual packaging, can only be achieved by mechanical packaging.

(4) It can reduce labor intensity and improve working conditions.

The labor intensity of manual packaging is very high. For example, it is not safe to pack products with large volume and heavy weight by hand. For light and small products, because of high frequency and monotonous movements, workers are prone to occupational diseases.

(5) Labor protection in favour of workers

For some products seriously affecting health, such as those with serious dust and toxicity, irritating and radioactive products, manual packaging is unavoidable to endanger health, while mechanical packaging can be avoided, and can effectively protect the environment from pollution.

(6) It can reduce packaging costs and save storage and transportation costs.

For loose products, such as cotton, tobacco, silk, hemp, etc., compressed packaging machine can greatly reduce the volume, thus reducing the packaging cost. At the same time, because the volume is greatly reduced, the storage capacity is saved and the storage cost is reduced, which is conducive to transportation.

(7) Reliable product hygiene assurance

Some products, such as food and medicines, are not allowed to be packaged by hand according to the hygienic law, because they will pollute the products, while mechanical packaging avoids direct contact with food and medicines by hand and ensures the hygienic quality.

(8) Promoting the development of related industries

Packaging machinery is a comprehensive science, which involves materials, technology, equipment, electronics, electrical appliances, automatic control and other disciplines. It requires the synchronous and coordinated development of related disciplines. The problems of any disciplines will affect the overall performance of packaging machinery. Therefore, the development of packaging machinery will strongly promote the progress of related disciplines. In addition, in order to meet the needs of high-speed packaging of packaging machinery, its related processes are bound to adapt to it, which also promotes the synchronous development of related processes.
