Key points for selecting a fully automatic packaging machine

When choosing an automatic packaging machine, it is necessary to combine its own production needs, focusing on the following five core dimensions to avoid the waste of efficiency caused by "mismatch between equipment and demand":
1. Priority matching "material characteristics"
Material form: For granular materials (such as nuts), choose the "screw/measuring cup metering" model; for powdered materials (such as flour), choose the "screw + dust cover" model; for liquid materials (such as soy sauce), choose the "pump metering + anti-drip" model; for blocky materials (such as bread), choose the "weighing metering + push rod filling" model.
Material characteristics: For high-viscosity materials (such as honey), a "high-temperature resistant, anti-clogging" filling system should be selected; for moisture-sensitive materials (such as milk powder), a "vacuum filling" or "inert gas protection" function should be provided.
2. Clarify "packaging specifications and production volume"
Packaging specifications: Determine the packaging weight (such as 10g/bag for granules vs 1kg/bag for rice), bag size (such as 10-30cm high for vertical bags), and ensure that the metering range and bag size of the equipment can cover the needs.
Production demand: For small-scale production (average daily output < 10,000 bags), medium to small-sized models (speed 30-60 bags/minute) are suitable. For large-scale production (average daily output > 50,000 bags), high-speed models (speed 80-200 bags/minute) are required, and the continuous operation stability of the equipment should be considered (such as whether it supports 24-hour operation).
3. Pay attention to "compliance and compatibility"
Industry standards: The food industry needs to choose models that "meet GB 4806 for contact parts"; the pharmaceutical industry needs to choose models that "have passed GMP certification" (anti-bacterial, easy to clean); for export products, it is necessary to consider whether the equipment meets international standards such as FDA (United States) and CE (European Union).
Compatible with subsequent processes: If labeling, coding, and packing are required, choose a model with reserved "interfaces" to facilitate the subsequent construction of an automated assembly line (such as packaging machine → labeling machine → packing machine linkage).
4. Evaluate "ease of use and maintenance costs"
Operation difficulty: Priority should be given to models with "touch screen + Chinese interface" to facilitate quick learning for workers. Support for "parameter storage" (such as storing 10 product formulas) is also important, as it eliminates the need for repeated debugging when changing products.
Maintenance cost: Choose models with "modular design" (such as metering modules and heat sealing modules that can be independently disassembled) to facilitate the replacement of vulnerable parts (such as heat sealing knives and cutting knives) in the later stage. At the same time, pay attention to the manufacturer's after-sales service (such as whether on-site maintenance is provided and the speed of spare parts supply).
5. Consider “Site and Energy Consumption”
Site size: Measure the length, width, and height of the workshop to ensure sufficient space for equipment installation (especially for high-speed models with larger dimensions, which require reserved space for operation and maintenance).
Energy consumption and environmental protection: Compare the power of equipment (such as heating systems, motor power) and choose models with lower energy consumption; prioritize models that are "solvent-free sealed" and "compatible with recyclable packaging" to meet environmental policy requirements.
