Why packaging?
Packaging is a necessary condition for products to enter the circulation field, and the main means to achieve packaging is to use packaging machinery. With the development of the times and the advancement of technology, packaging machinery is playing an increasingly important role in the packaging field. Its main functions are as follows: (1) It can greatly improve labor productivity. Manual packaging is much faster, such as candy packaging, which can only pack more than a dozen pieces per minute, while the candy packaging machine can reach hundreds or even thousands of pieces per minute, which increases the efficiency dozens of times. (2) It can effectively guarantee the quality of packaging. Mechanical packaging can obtain packaging with consistent specifications according to the requirements of the packaged items, according to the required shape and size, and manual packaging cannot be guaranteed. This is particularly important for export commodities. Only mechanical packaging can achieve the standardization and standardization of packaging and meet the requirements of collective packaging. (3) Able to achieve operations that cannot be achieved by manual packaging. Some packaging operations, such as vacuum packaging, inflatable packaging, skin packaging, and isobaric filling, cannot be achieved by manual packaging and can only be achieved by mechanical packaging. (4) It can reduce labor intensity and improve labor conditions. The labor intensity of manual packaging is very large. For example, manual packaging of large and heavy products consumes energy and is not safe; for light and small products, due to the higher frequency, Monotonous actions can easily cause workers to get occupational diseases. The folding box machine (5) is beneficial to the labor protection of workers. For some products that seriously affect their health, such as severely dusty, toxic products, irritating, radioactive products, manual packaging will inevitably endanger health, while mechanical packaging can Avoid, and can effectively protect the environment from being polluted. (6) It can reduce packaging costs and save storage and transportation costs. For loose products, such as cotton, tobacco, silk, hemp, etc., using compression packaging machines to compress and pack, can greatly reduce the volume, thereby reducing packaging costs. At the same time, because the volume is greatly reduced, the storage capacity is saved, and the storage cost is reduced, which is conducive to transportation. (7) It can reliably ensure that the product is hygienic. Some products, such as the packaging of food and medicine, are not allowed to be manually packaged according to the Sanitation Law because they will contaminate the product. Mechanical packaging avoids direct contact with food and medicine by human hands, ensuring that Hygiene quality. (8) Packaging machinery is a comprehensive science that can promote the development of related industries. It involves materials, technology, equipment, electronics, electrical appliances, automatic control and other disciplines. It requires all related disciplines to develop in a synchronized and coordinated manner. Any discipline The problems will affect the overall performance of packaging machinery. Therefore, the development of packaging machinery will effectively promote the progress of related disciplines. In addition, in order to meet the needs of high-speed packaging by packaging machinery, the related front and back processes are bound to adapt to it, which promotes the simultaneous development of related processes. Figure 3 is a block diagram of the liquid filling process. The boxes with empty bottles are stacked on the pallet and sent to the unloading machine by the conveyor belt. The pallets are unloaded one by one. The boxes are sent to the unloading machine with the conveyor belt. The empty bottles are taken out from the box, and the empty boxes are passed through the conveyor belt. It is sent to the box washing machine, cleaned, and then transported to the boxing machine, so that the bottles with beverages can be loaded into it. The empty bottles taken out from the unloading machine are sent to the bottle washing machine for disinfection and cleaning by another conveyor belt. After being inspected by the bottle inspection machine, they enter the filling machine and capping machine after meeting the cleaning standards. The beverage is filled into the bottle by the filling machine. The beverage bottles are capped and sealed by the capping machine and transported to the labeling machine for labeling. After labeling, they are sent to the cartoning machine to be put into the box and then sent to the stacker and pallet machine to be stacked on the pallet and sent to the warehouse. (See color picture) The process of the bottle filling line for filling various beverages is basically similar. However, due to the different nature of the beverage, the filling machine and capping machine used are also different. For example, in addition to selecting a suitable filling and capping machine, the beer filling line also adds a sterilization machine. The capping machine selects the corresponding model according to the shape of the cap used (crown cap, screw cap, plug cap, etc.).
