Jochamp Automatic Packaging Line Functions

The transferring of products is an important part of the automatic packaging lines. It is the most common process and it is done by conveyor belt transportation. Linear or flexible conveyor belts can be used depending on your request.

The automatic packaging lines adopt PLC control systems or servo motors for automated feeding due to their high accuracy. Also, the conveyor belt can be used as an automatic feeder if high accuracy is not necessary. The automatic feeding mechanism is ideal for bagged products. This mechanism is done by pushing the products accurately into the storage bin.

The automatic packaging lines can have case formers, labeling machines, case sealers, and other machines for the secondary packaging. They have easy and quick to change secondary packaging sizes. Secondary packaging is necessary for the protection of products.

My product has many specifications, can the packaging line be applied?

It is undeniable that the packaging production line will have limitations. We will ensure the best adaptability through the matching of packaging machinery of various specifications, but we will not be able to guarantee the adaptability of the packaging line for products with too large specifications. And too many product specifications will inevitably lead to increased costs.

How can customers track their face masking packaging machines?

From assembling to debugging to delivery, we will send related pictures and video for customers track in regular(production tracklists)
Through salesmen, customers, and engineers do some development of special requirements.

Depending on the complexity of the packaging production line, it usually takes 0.5-1.5 hours to convert your products. We recommend that products with too many specifications use independent packaging machinery.

What kind of installation service and after-sales service can you provide?

We provide on-site installation services, and you need to bear the costs incurred, including the salary of the installation engineer (100-150 U.S. dollars per day).

Of course, we will also provide a complete installation manual, video and online communication around the clock. If you have a mechanical engineer, we will guide you to install it yourself.

Can I use printed film?

It can be used, but due to the shrinkage characteristics, it is not recommended to use a film with too high printing fineness.

Under normal circumstances, we recommend that you check the screws once a week, check the bearings and add lubricating oil every three days, clean the machine and add grease to this wheel before getting off work every day, and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the machine every month.

At the same time, we have agencies in some countries, and you can choose localized installation and after-sales service.

I have some separate machines in use, can I use these old machines in the packaging line?

Uncertain, we need to make an assessment after understanding your old machine. Under normal circumstances, your old machine can be used in the packaging line.

Your delivery date and payment terms?

Usually, the production cycle of the packaging line takes more time. Generally, we need 45-60 days to produce and test the packaging line.

For payment terms, we generally accept a 30% advance payment, and the remaining payment will be paid after acceptance.

For some packaging lines with a high degree of customization, we will require a 40%-50% advance payment.

Is there any difference between the maintenance of the packaging line and the independent packaging machine?

We will evaluate the components of this packaging line and provide a maintenance manual, to ensure that you can maintain and maintain the packaging line in the best way.

How do you ensure that your packaging line meets the requirements?

Before placing an order, we will use conditional facilities to test the product to ensure that we can provide the most accurate packaging line speed and structure.

You must pass the video or go to our factory for an acceptance test before the equipment is shipped. In addition, our packaging lines have passed CE, ISO9001, and other certifications.

Automatic Packaging Production Lines – Definitive Guide

The automatic packaging line is ever-changing, and it can exist in a variety of combinations. When your products need to be diverted directly from the production line to the packaging equipment, or your products need to be packaged multiple times, the automatic packaging line will be your best choice.

In our actual production process, from the production line to the packaging machine to the subsequent packaging, multiple transfer steps require a lot of manpower and material resources. The automatic packaging line replaces these tedious transfer processes, it builds a bridge for each functional packaging equipment, so that each step does not require manual operations.

Benefits of Automatic Packaging Line

In the actual application process, the change brought about by the automatic packaging line is not only the convenience of transit, it can and has affected the entire product.

  • More Diversity

Through the assessment of your site, budget, and needs, we can create the most suitable overall packaging solution for you through flexible mechanical combinations, which contain all the functions you need.

  • Management Upgrade

A stable automatic packaging line that can work 7*24 hours will definitely be welcomed by the department manager. The predictable productivity allows an enterprise to orderly arrange the production.

  • Precision Packaging

Thanks to the precise connection between the various machines, the product packaging will be more precise, which will enhance the aesthetics of the product packaging, and at the same time, the product’s tamper-resistant ability will be strengthened.

  • Cut Costs

When the product comes out of the production line to the first packaging, and then to the transfer of the downstream packaging, it may also involve a series of processes such as labeling, weighing, and inspection, and the manpower and material costs generated in these processes are very huge. Automatic packaging lines can help companies minimize costs.

  • Standardize Packaging & Production

In some specific cases, your standardized packaging and production links are very important, such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. One is that your production environment needs to meet standards, another point is The packaging production line can effectively prevent secondary pollution of products.

  • Adaptability

You may already have some functional equipment, such as production lines or some basic packaging machines, but it doesn’t matter, through our strong design and manufacturing capabilities, we can bring these old machines to life and become a member of the packaging production line.

Limitations of automatic packaging lines

Well, nothing can be perfect, I believe there is only the most suitable automatic packaging line for you. So let us discuss the imperfections of the automatic packaging line together.

  • Expensive

You can’t ignore the upfront cost because of how much money the automatic packaging line can save you in the future. Automatic packaging lines are not very suitable for small businesses that have just started.

  • Downtime

Intelligent interaction is very advantageous, but there is an unavoidable problem in some highly intelligent automatic packaging lines, that is, if a certain link is wrong, it is likely to cause the entire packaging line is down.

  • Professional

A small packaging line is no problem. If you are buying a relatively large packaging production line, then you need to have a trained professional operator. Generally, 1-3 people are the minimum.

  • Site Area

Every function of the automatic packaging production line is connected, it is not like a separate machine that can be placed at will.

  • Co-ordination

Coordinated operation is a very big advantage, but in some special situations, some functions are slower, then other functions must be consistent with it and cannot operate at full capacity.

Some important parts of the automatic packaging line

Above we discussed the applicability of the automatic packaging line, and then we will discuss the key components that make up the automatic packaging line. This can help us better understand the automatic packaging line.

  • Product Transfer

The transfer of products is very important, which is a key part of the automatic packaging line. The most common and cost-effective product transfer method is conveyor belt transportation.User-friendly Milk Powder Packing Solutions

You can always see the conveyor belt on the automatic packaging line. This conveyor belt has a lower cost, but it can only be operated in a straight line or a 90° corner splicing method. In some special cases, flexible conveyor belts can become a substitute for straight conveyor belts.

 

The flexible conveyor belt has a turning function that the straight conveyor belt does not have. Its price is higher, but in some scenarios, it can reduce the overall equipment footprint. When using a straight conveyor belt, if you need to turn, it will cause the orientation of the product to change, but the flexible conveyor belt does not have this problem.

When a large number of products are produced, linear or flexible conveyor belts cannot meet the needs of the production line. This relatively large material handling platform can meet the needs of mass production.

 

The price of this kind of material sorting platform is very high, it can realize the functions of ascent, settlement, expansion, and contraction. It is common in mass-produced products, such as biscuits, chocolate, etc.

  • Auto-feeder

The conveyor belt can also be used as an Auto-feeder, but on machines that require accuracy, a high-accuracy Auto-feeder controlled by a servo or PLC can work. Let’s explain some of the more common automatic feeding mechanisms.Automatic Packaging Line

This kind of automatic feeder is often used for the docking of flow wrapper and automatic cartoning machine. It is more suitable for bagged products, and can accurately push the product into the storage bin through the cooperation of the detection sensor and the servo motor.

 

This is an automatic feeder suitable for bottles. It is often used in the connecting feeding part of automatic filling production lines and automatic cartoning machines. The moving part of the turntable is generally driven by an indexing plate or a servo motor.

This is an automatic feeder driven by a cylinder, which is mostly used for products that require stacking or multiple packaging. The cylinder will push the feed when the product reaches a certain amount. When packaging bottle products, in pursuit of cost-effectiveness, this automatic feeder can also be used.

This is an automatic feeder that has been very popular in recent years. Due to its accuracy and adaptability, this automatic feeding method has been more and more widely used.

Its visual inspection function can place the product in a precise position, and it can also be used for product inspection. Through the modification of the suction head, it is generally applicable to most products. The only disadvantage may be that the price is relatively high.

  • Data communication

In the application of automatic production lines, data communication is also very important, and all linkage functions are realized by data communication. In the data communication part, we will mainly use the following components:Automatic Packaging Line

First of all, in order to be more intuitive and simple to operate, each functional machine is equipped with an independent HMI industrial control system. At the same time, for the coordination of certain functions, we will connect a communication line between these systems and a coordination program.

A large number of sensors will be applied to the entire packaging line, and its role is to collect data, transmit signals, and protect safety. The accuracy of the sensor directly affects the stability of the entire packaging line and the accuracy of the data.

Automatic Packaging Line

Among high-precision data, the moving part that can process and operate these data certainly requires high-precision transmission equipment. The high precision and high programming of the servo motor are the most ideal transmission components.

The high-quality and high-stability automatic packaging line is composed of different high-precision mechanical or electronic components. Our mechanical engineers give them different responsibilities and can coordinate their work.

Some common combination cases of automatic packaging lines

There are many ways to match automatic packaging lines. Let’s introduce several more common and cost-effective automatic packaging lines and packaging production lines for specific industry uses.

Fully automatic flow wrapper packaging production line system

 

This is a fully automatic flow wrapper packaging production line system suitable for biscuits, chocolates, and pastries. It is mostly used in large-scale enterprises with a large production volume. The material management platform is directly connected to the production line, and the material is divided into high-speed flow wrapper packaging. The number of flow wrappers can be increased or decreased according to the production volume.

Automatic packaging line from carton packaging to multiple carton packaging

 

This is an automatic packaging line from carton packaging to multiple carton packaging. Since the shape of the carton is relatively standardized, we all use the linear conveyor belt + cylinder for the cost-effective configuration of the transfer connection part. In terms of speed ratio, we use the automatic cartoning machine and overwrapper with matching speed to connect.

Common automatic packaging line

 

This is a very common automatic packaging line, which is composed of a flow wrapper and automatic cartoning machine. This kind of packaging can be packed in single-bag carton or multi-bag carton, just add a counting storage bin.

Packaging production line for filling liquid bottles

 

This is a packaging production line suitable for filling liquid bottles. It integrates filling, plugging, capping, labeling and boxing. It has very powerful functions. It is very suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, and other industries.

Automatic Packaging Line

This is a relatively complete set of the packaging lines, which consists of Flow wrapper, Cartoner, Case packer, from the plastic film packaging of the product to the carton packaging to the multiple packaging of the carton without manual operation. On the connected linear conveyor belt, we can install printers or some testing instruments, such as metal detectors, weighing machines, etc.

These matching methods are only a small part of them, and the position of the matching can be customized.

Filling And Packaging Technologies In Automatic Packaging Line

There are different categories of filling and packaging Automatic Packaging Lines that are classified according to their filling and sealing technology.

The following depicts the working principles of these types of automatic packing machines.

Automatic Auger filling And Packaging Machines

This machine is instrumental in industries such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture, cosmetics, and chemical manufacturing.

It is used for filling powdered products in the above-mentioned industries. You can also use it to fill containers for other substances such as liquids, granules, semi-liquids, etc.

The machine’s operational principles revolve around the auger screw. The products are filled into the container and as it rotates around the auger screw.

Auger Filler With Rotary Pouch Packing Machine

automatic auger filling and packaging machine

Types of auger filling and packaging machines include:

Table Top Auger Fillers

This type of auger filling machine has a very small footprint and can easily be installed on top of a workbench.

It is highly used in pharmaceutical companies to fill powders or granulated medicine.

Volumetric Auger Filler

This auger filler depends on the weight to fill the products into containers. They come in top and bottom fill configurations.

Fill By Weight Auger Powder Fillers

You can use this type of auger filler to fill assorted quantities of powder in different packages therefore critical for operations that require accuracy and customization.

Multiple Auger Fillers

You can use this type of filler for packaging different types of products. Its control panel is highly flexible and can be easily optimized for special filling applications.

It has a multi-dispenser system and is faster, accurate, and highly repeatable.

Automatic Volumetric Cup Fillers

This technique employs the use of a cup with one side opened. The cup scoops the product and dumps it onto the packaging container.

The quantity of the filled product corresponds to the internal volume of the cup.

The volumetric ‘cup’ filler is attached to a sliding plate which shifts it to and from the product hopper where the products flow into the cup through gravity.

The sliding plate then scraps off any excess products from the cup. The cup discharges the product into the container and the whole packaging cycle is repeated using a different cup.

Automatic Weight Fillers

This type of packaging machine offers the most precise technique for filling dry products such as powders and granules.

At its most basic form, the machine fills in products into a container that is placed on top of a weighing scale.

Product filling is through vibratory troughs. Filling stops when the desired weight has been reached and the whole process is repeated using another container.

Piece Filler Machines

Piece fillers are instrumental for packaging products such as pharmaceutical tablets that must be counted as they are filled into the containers.

These machines integrate sensors in their systems that incrementally add onto the counter scale as more and more products are added.

Pressure Filler Machines

Pressure filler machines are integral components of chemical manufacturing companies. Some of the common types of pressure fillers include:

Piston Fillers

These fillers optimize the accuracy and speedy packaging of highly viscous fluids. You can use them in applications such as filling aerated rinks, batters, and pastes.

Overflow Fillers

This is ideal for filling low-viscosity fluids into applications that require consistent fill levels. You can use it to fill a transparent container.

Other variants for specialized applications or smaller glass containers can also integrate vacuum fillers into their system.

Net-weight Fillers

You can use these fillers for packaging expensive products which require consistency in filling.

These can vary over industries to include products such as pharmaceutical insulins, printer inks, perfumes, and other valuables.
