Packaging machinery · Filling, form-fill-seal, bagging, canning, capping, labeling, cartoning, wrapping and end-of-line machines, from 10 packs a minute to 18,000 bottles an hour, chosen by product, pack format and line speed
Packaging machinery is the family of machines that fill, form, seal, close, label, wrap and pack products for storage, distribution and sale. A packaging line links these machines, from infeed and filling to capping or sealing, labeling, inspection and case or carton packing. Ask three things first: what product and pack format you are packing, what speed and changeovers the line must handle, and which machine types (and which are already on your line) the quotation must cover.
An overview of packaging machinery as a family and of complete packaging lines, pointing to the dedicated pages for each machine type: vertical form fill seal machines, powder packaging machines, blister packaging machines, bottle filling and capping machines, labeling systems, cartoning machines, checkweighers and strapping machines. Packaging materials, packaging-related converting machinery for making packaging materials, and retail or household sealers are outside this page.

OSHA's Standard Industrial Classification description for industry 3565, Packaging Machinery, covers establishments manufacturing packaging machinery including wrapping and bottling machinery, and lists aerating machines for beverages; bag opening, filling and closing machines; bottling machinery for washing, sterilizing, filling, capping and labeling; bread wrapping machines; carton packing machines; industrial label moisteners and labeling machinery; and wrapping machines. [1]
Supplier listings show how lines are organised by product and pack. Levapack lists powder, solid and liquid canning machines and lines, premade pouch packaging machines and filling machines [3]; Jintian lists vertical form fill seal machines, including a packing line with a multihead weigher [4]; Shanghai Dahe lists a coffee powder filling machine for 401#–502# metal, plastic or paper cans with two-stage filling and an inline checkweigher and reject system [5]; King Machine lists bottle fillers with 12 to 80 valves for 200 mL to 1 L containers and PET blow molding with filling [6]; and Ruipuhua lists pillow (flow) wrappers, product handling lines, bagging machines and robots. [7]
Jochamp describes custom packaging machines selected from the product's dimensions, weight, material and the packaging type, the production speed and capacity, and whether full or semi-automation is required, with a prototype tested before delivery. [2]
Give the supplier the product (form, density, flow, temperature, hygiene class), each pack format and size, target speed, changeover frequency, the machines already on the line, upstream and downstream interfaces, space, utilities (electric supply, compressed air, gases), hygiene and safety requirements, and the acceptance test.
02
Jochamp states packaging speeds from 10 to 1,200 packs per minute depending on machine model and application. [2] King Machine lists fillers from 1,000 to 18,000 bottles per hour and a hot-fill juice line from 1,000 to 32,000 bottles per hour based on 500 mL bottles. [6] Shanghai Dahe lists its coffee can filler at line speeds up to 50 per minute. [5]
Acepack's sachet machine guidance includes checking the nitrogen gas supply pressure and weighing test sachets to confirm fill-weight variance against the buyer's tolerance, recalibrating the volumetric cup or auger filler if it is exceeded. [8]
Editorial calculation: 18,000 bottles per hour is 300 per minute; 1,200 packs per minute is 20 per second. [6] [2]
03
The companies below list packaging machines on their own websites. A listing shows what a company offers; confirm the legal seller, factory and configuration for your order.
Ask any supplier for the machine types and models offered for your product and pack, rated and demonstrated speed, fill or weigh accuracy, changeover time and parts, utilities (supply voltage, phases, compressed air, gas), footprint and weight, materials of contact parts, control system and line integration, safety guarding and the standard it follows, and a factory acceptance test with your product.
