Granule packaging machines play a crucial role in modern industrial production. So, do you know what a granule packaging machine is? What are its uses?
What products in our daily lives are closely related to it? A granule packaging machine, also known as a granular packaging machine, is specifically designed for packaging granular products in our daily lives.
Granule packaging machines have greatly improved the quality and speed of industrial production and provided a more efficient packaging method for many manufacturing industries.
The types of granules are very wide-ranging, such as beans, spices, grains, puffed foods, coffee beans, pet food, and so on.
The main working principle of a granule packaging machine is to weigh and seal these granular products after packaging.
You can choose manual weighing after automatic packaging, or fully automatic packaging after weighing.
Packaging forms are also diverse, such as pre-made bag packaging, roll film packaging, canning packaging, etc. Different packaging forms have corresponding granule packaging machines, which will be introduced below.
Types of Granule Packaging Machines
We usually refer to pre-made bag and roll film granule packaging machines collectively as granule packaging machines, and granule filling machines used for canning packaging as granule filling machines. Below are three common types of granule packaging machines.
Vertical Granule Packaging Machine
This machine is the most typical granule packaging machine. It is an all-in-one packaging machine that forms packaging bags from roll film.
After the roll film is formed by the machine, it is made into packaging bags through feeding, sealing, and cutting processes. This machine also comes in different sizes.
The common vertical packaging machine uses a collar-type forming method, which we call a large vertical packaging machine, and it can package relatively wide film bags.
Conversely, if you need to package relatively narrow film widths and the total weight of the granules is relatively small (small bag packaging), you can consider using a small vertical granule packaging machine.
Pillow Packaging Machine
Horizontal packaging machines are one of the most widely used and competitively priced packaging machines. This machine horizontally conveys granular products to the packaging area.
Usually, a tray conveyor is used to package small granules, which are then automatically loaded into back-sealed bags or stand-up pouches by the machine. Some horizontal packaging machines can also package small parts such as toy puzzle accessories.
Granule Filling Machine
The granule filling and packaging machine packages products into cans at a slightly higher cost than the models mentioned above.
Its advantages include preventing product compression within the can and facilitating transportation and data recording.
The granule filling machine can also be used in conjunction with other automated equipment, such as labeling machines and capping machines.
