Packaging Automation

• Sealing pre-filled trays or containers in food processing for extended shelf life.
• Packaging medical devices and pharmaceuticals in sterile barrier systems.
• Creating sealed pouches for consumer goods, such as snacks or small components.
• Automating the final packaging stage for various industrial products.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 10 to 60 packs per minute, depending on the specific model and product.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required, often with pneumatic connections.

Sealing area

The maximum sealing area typically varies, accommodating tray sizes commonly used in food and industrial packaging.

Material compatibility

Units are generally compatible with a range of heat-sealable films and pre-formed trays made from materials such as APET, CPET, PP, and aluminium.

Footprint

The footprint for packaging automation equipment of this type can vary significantly, often requiring dedicated floor space within a production line.

Control system

Typically features a PLC-based control system with a HMI for operational parameter adjustments and fault diagnostics.

• What types of sealing can this equipment perform?

  Packaging automation equipment commonly performs heat sealing, which can include hermetic seals, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), and skin packaging, depending on the unit's configuration.

• Is this unit suitable for food packaging?

• What level of automation can I expect?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

Used sealing machines are generally valued for their durability and long operational life. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and minimal wear on sealing components. Key considerations include film compatibility, seal quality consistency, and ease of adjustment. Reputable models tend to retain functionality well across multiple applications. Industry sentiment suggests these machines offer strong value when sourced from reliable vendors, though operators should verify calibration settings and test seal integrity before full production use.
