Operating principle of granular packaging machine

The operating principle of the granular packaging machine is quite simple and includes the following main steps:

1. Feed: Granular materials are fed into the machine by a feeder, which can be a conveyor belt, a conveyor belt, a suction tube, an exhaust pipe... depending on the type of machine and the type of granules. li>
2. Quantity: Granular materials are measured according to the desired weight using a dosing device, which can be an electronic scale, centrifugal disc, spiral tube... depending on the type of machine and type of granules. span>
3. Create pockets: The packaging film is pulled from the film roll and shaped into a bag using a bag maker, which can be a bag making trough, a bag making tube, a bag making knife... depending on the type of machine and type of bag. envelope.
4. Put grain in bag: Granular materials are put into the bag by the part that puts the granules into the bag, which can be a hopper, tube, valve... depending on the type of machine and type of grain.
5. Seal the bag : Packaging bags are sealed with bag sealing parts, which can be welding rods, welding knives, soldering irons... depending on the type of machine and type of packaging.
6. Cut the pocket: The packaging bag is cut out of the film using a bag cutting unit, which can be a cutting knife, cutting scissors, cutting hammer... depending on the type of machine and type of packaging.
7. Export products : The product is exported from the machine by the product output part, which can be a conveyor belt, conveyor belt, exhaust pipe... depending on the machine type and grain type.

Advantages and disadvantages of granular packaging machines

Advantages

• Increase productivity and packaging quality: The machine can quickly, accurately and evenly package granular products, minimizing errors and waste.

Frequently asked questions about granule packaging machines

Here are some frequently asked questions and answers related to granule packaging machines:

1. Is the packaging machine for sauces or dressings when it contains granules or minced meat different from the packaging machine for other types of nuts?

Packaging machines for sauces or dressings when it contains granules or minced meat can use the same type of granule packaging machine for other types of granules, but some points should be noted after:

• You need to choose a machine with a dispenser suitable for the viscosity and uniformity of the sauce or sauce, can be piston pump, screw pump, gear pump, diaphragm pump...
• You need to choose a machine that has a part that puts seeds into bags with a diameter larger than the size of the bag. small grains or minced meat, avoid clogging or loss.
• You need to choose a machine with a bag sealing unit with temperature and pressure suitable for type of packaging used, avoid leaking or tearing.
