Technical details and manufacturing context for Packaging Machinery

Definition
Packaging machinery encompasses a wide range of automated and semi-automated equipment used to enclose or protect products for distribution, storage, sale, and use. This includes machines for filling, sealing, wrapping, labeling, coding, palletizing, and forming containers. The machinery is integral to modern manufacturing and logistics, ensuring product safety, extending shelf life, providing consumer information, and enabling efficient handling. Typical machines are built with stainless steel, food-grade plastics, and aluminum alloys to meet hygiene and durability requirements. Key parameters include a speed range of 20–120 units per minute, a power supply of 380 V ±10% (frequency and phase to be confirmed), compressed air pressure of 0.6–0.8 bar, and a machine footprint of 3000 × 1200 mm (length × width; height not specified). Net weight ranges from 800 to 1500 kg. Packaging size ranges are adjustable: length 50–300 mm, width 30–200 mm, height 10–100 mm. Film width is 100–450 mm with a maximum roll diameter of 300 mm. Sealing temperature is adjustable between 120–180 °C, and sealing pressure is 0.2–0.5 MPa. Noise level at the operator position is ≤75 dB(A) per ISO 11201. Operating temperature is 5–40 °C, humidity ≤85% RH non-condensing, and ingress protection is IP54 per IEC 60529. The control system is PLC + HMI with touchscreen interface and recipe storage. These specifications are reference ranges; verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before procurement.
Working Principle
Packaging machinery operates by automating sequential processes. A typical system involves product infeed, container handling (forming, feeding, or placing), precise product measurement or counting, filling (by volume, weight, or count), sealing (via heat, adhesive, or mechanical closure), and secondary operations like labeling, coding, or case packing. Control systems, often PLC-based, synchronize actuators, conveyors, sensors, and drives to achieve high-speed, consistent, and hygienic packaging operations. The machine uses pneumatic components requiring compressed air at 0.6–0.8 bar. Sealing is performed at temperatures of 120–180 °C and pressures of 0.2–0.5 MPa to ensure seal integrity. The HMI allows operators to adjust parameters and store recipes. The machine is designed for operation in ambient temperatures of 5–40 °C and non-condensing humidity up to 85% RH. It is protected against dust and splash water to IP54. Maintenance signals include deviations in sealing quality, speed fluctuations, or error messages from the control system. Failure boundaries include operation outside specified temperature, humidity, or air pressure ranges, which may affect performance.
