How to choose granule packing machine

How to choose granule packing machine

Packaging is an essential activity in the food system. Consequently, virtually every food product is packaged one or more times before it reaches the ultimate consumer. In most food production and distribution systems, packages are used to move products from farms to processing plants, between processing plants, and from processing plants to retail outlets and on to consumers. There are many rigid and flexible package forms including boxes, pouches, bags, cups, trays, cans, tubes, and bottles. A food package can hold processed food products, fresh food products, or other food packages. Packages perform one or more of four basic functions: containment, protection, communication, and utility.

Now we take the bagged granule packaging machine as an example of how to select packaging machines.

First of all, we have to make sure that our materials are granules rather than powder, in general, we will be greater than 120 mesh materials can be regarded as granules.Secondly, we have to look at the fluidity and homogeneity of the material.Materials such as rice and soybeans have good flow characteristics.We can choose measuring cups as measuring devices

Lumpy materials such as potatoes and frozen meat are poorly homogenized products.We should choose an electronic scale as a measuring device

Next we select the main packaging machine，

Packaging machine models are usually 320/420/520/620/720, etc. The maximum film width for each model of packaging machine is 320mm/420mm/520mm/620mm/720mm, etc. The formula for calculating the bag width is【bag width = (film width - 20)/2  mm】.

The last and most important part is how to determine bag size. Accurately measure the volume of the target weight material. Or directly use the bag to fill the target weight of the material, and then measure the bag size. Then we can decide which model of main packaging machine to use. This is important because the cost of different models of machines varies greatly. Our uboraypack hope to offer you a competitive solution

These are the most basic configurations.We can choose the feeding conveyor and the finished product conveyor to increase automation.
