A Complete Guide to Know About Granule Packing Machine
The finished goods and products that we buy off racks in the supermarket undergo an elaborate and sophisticated process that ensures its viability for the purpose of distributing, storing, selling and using.
The art and science of packing has come a long way from the use of natural materials like reeds and wood to paper, tin and plastic in recent times. Persistent innovations and experiments were made to ensure maximum efficiency and safety of products.
Using packing machines to complete the different stages involved in the process of packaging makes the entire process faster, increasing efficiency, while cutting down on the cost of labor.
There are different types of packing machines that serve different functions and are suited for specific materials and requirements such as those for pouch filling, bottle packing, tube filling and granule packing.
Granule packing machines are used for packing granular items such as pulses, nuts, sugar, rice or different powdered spices. They are meant to pack these materials in pouches for the purpose of sale.
To operate an automatic granule packing machine, switch on the power button. The vertical and horizontal temperatures need to reach their desired temperatures, after which the start button can be pressed. The film that will hold the product needs to be arranged and set properly next. The particular product, whether it is sugar, pulses or some powdered spice travels through a funnel into the pouches, generally by a multi-head weigher that disperses the target weight of the product. A seal bar which is at a certain temperature is used to close the upper end of the packet and a deflator squeezes out any remaining air out of the packet; a cooling bar is then used to flatten the packet.
Various granule packing machines come with their own distinctive features. There are some that are suited for packets weighing from 10 grams t0 5000 grams while some others might be more constricted. Most automatic granule packing machines these days have auto weighing and filling features, and perform the functions of nitrogen flushing, sealing and coding. They are simple to use and clean, have a compact design, run for a long time with optimal power consumption and have a high speed of packaging.
The price of granular packing can start as low as 1.25 lakhs and can go up to 13 lakhs depending on the variety of products, the weight and level of automation.
