What are the advantages of automatic packaging machines, and how do you maintain them?

Automatic packaging machines can package according to the requirements of the items, reducing labour intensity, saving storage space, reducing storage costs, and facilitating transportation. In addition, maintenance should be taken into consideration, such as periodically adding lubricating oil and avoiding bumps, tilting, and overturning. Now let’s introduce the details.

I. Advantages of Automatic Packaging Machines:

• Automatic packaging machines can produce uniformly sized packages according to the requirements of the items, which cannot be guaranteed by manual packaging.
• They can perform operations that manual packaging cannot achieve.
• They can reduce labour intensity and improve working conditions. Manual packaging requires a lot of physical effort, especially for large and heavy products, which not only consumes energy but is also unsafe. For small and light products, the repetitive and monotonous movements can lead to occupational diseases.
• They are beneficial for workers’ labour protection. For products that can seriously affect health, such as those with severe dust, toxicity, irritation, or radioactivity, manual packaging can be harmful to health, while mechanical packaging can effectively avoid this and protect the environment from pollution.
• They can reduce packaging costs and save on storage and transportation expenses. For loose products such as cotton, tobacco leaves, silk, and hemp, using compression packaging machines can greatly reduce volume and packaging costs. At the same time, the reduced volume saves storage space and reduces storage costs, which is beneficial for transportation.
• They can reliably ensure product hygiene. According to hygiene regulations, manual packaging is not allowed for food and pharmaceuticals because it can contaminate the products. Automatic packaging avoids direct contact between hands and food or pharmaceuticals, ensuring hygiene and quality. Therefore, automatic packaging is suitable for various plastic composite films or plastic-aluminium composite films, such as polyester/polyethylene, polyester/polypropylene, etc., which should have certain air tightness, pressure resistance, and mechanical adaptability.

II. Maintenance of automatic packaging machines:

• Periodically add lubricating oil. Prolonged operation can cause improper internal machine fitting. Proper lubrication can help improve operation. It is recommended to add lubricating oil every 80 days.
• Ensure safety. The standard pressure for operating the fully automatic screw packaging machine is 0.3 MPa. Avoid adjusting it too high or too low, as it can cause machine performance failure.
• When moving the fully automatic screw packaging machine, it must be kept upright to avoid bumps, tilting, and overturning.
• Internal inspection of the machine equipment Before each operation, it is necessary to check the internal equipment of the machine, including the air source, power supply, cleanliness of the vibration plate, condition of thermocouples, cutting blades, etc., to ensure the quality of each operation.
• When moving the fully automatic screw packaging machine, it must be kept upright to avoid bumps, tilting, and overturning.

The above is an introduction to the advantages of automatic packaging machines and how to maintain them. We hope it can be helpful to you.
