Packaging machines complete packing process step by step. There are several types of packaging machines available such as sealing machines, filling machines, strapping machines, wrapping machines , coding machines, labelling machines. Introduction
Packaging Process Filling Section Sealing Section Labelling End of the Section
Filling machines used to fill bottles or a pouch depending on the product. General types of filling machines – Agitator Filling Machines Flow filling machines Tablet fillers. Filling Section and Equipments
a. Agitator Filling Machines Designed to fill dry mixes , such as milk powder, sugar, flour etc. Fillers have a hopper shaped like a cone that holds the mix and puts it in a pouch using an auger screw that is controlled by the agitator.
Designed for liquids. Oils and thin food products. These fillers are designed when they fill a bottle or tub that enters the machine, the ejects the open bottle back onto another conveyor for sealing. b. Flow Filling Machines
Designed for products that is counted by pieces instead of weight. These are designed for small bottles, but the hopper of the fillers is setup to permit scan counting of tablets. c. Tablet Fillers
Machines used to securely close and/or fasten the product usually after the filling section. Some types of sealing equipments- Food packaging machines. Vacuum packaging machines. Blister packaging machines. Skin Pack packaging machines. Sealing Section and Equipments
Machines that protect food that requires protection, tampering resistance and special physical, chemical or biological needs. a. Food packaging machines
Method of packaging that remove air from package. Long-term storage of dry foods. b. Vacuum packaging machines
Blister pack is a cavity or pocket made from a “formable” web , usually a thermoformed plastic. This usually has a backing of paperboard or a “ lidding seal” of aluminium foil or plastic. c. Blister pack machines
Product is placed on a piece of paperboard , and a thin sheet of transparent plastic is placed over the product and paperboard. d. Skin pack machines
Any written , electronic, or graphic communications on the packaging or on a separate associated label . Some types of Labeling equipments- Flat class labeling machines. Round bottle labeling machines. Side of the class labeling machines. Labeling Section and Equipments
To achieve cylindrical, conical circumferential surface of the product label or film, such as glass bottle , plastic bottles. a. Round bottle labeling machines
To achieve the workpiece side of the plane , side arc label or film , such as cosmetic bottle flat , square box, can complete a round bottle cover standard equipment , while achieving a round bottle labelling. b. Side of the class labeling machines
After individual packages have been made the next step is getting the products ready for shipment. Types of machines used- Case/Box sealers. Sleeve wrappers and Bundlers. Case erectors and Box forming Machines. Case Packers. Palletizing Equipments. End of the Line Section and Equipments
Case sealers are used in production environments where a run of the same sized cases is made , then changed over for the next sized box. Uniform Case Sealing. Random Case Sealing . a. Case/Box sealers
An alternative to case packing where the product is bundled together for shipment. Sleeve wrappers and Bundlers
Machines which form a carton board blank into a carton filled with a product into single carton, after the filling , the machines engages its slots to apply adhesive and close both the ends of carton completely sealing the carton. Case erectors and Box forming Machines
Case packers automatically load products into boxes. There are several types of case packing machines including horizontal, vertical, overwrapping and robotic. Case Packers
Automatic palletizers arrange boxes and bags on pallet. Palletizing Equipment
