There are many kinds of packaging machinery. Packaging machinery is used throughout all packaging operations, involving primary packages to distribution packs. This includes many packaging processes: forming, cleaning, filling, sealing, combining, labeling, overwrapping, palletizing. But how do we differentiate these packaging machines? There are different classification methods according to different dimensions.

Classification by degree of automation:

    ●Automatic packaging machine

    ●Semi-automatic packaging machine

    ●Manual packaging machine

Automatic packaging machinery can automatically complete a series of packaging operations without manual intervention, and only need to set parameters and debug correctly before packaging. Part of the process of semi-automatic packaging machinery requires manual intervention while manual packaging machinery requires full manual participation.

Classification by construction:

To distinguish such machines, it generally depends on whether the packaging process is vertical or horizontal. Vertical packaging machinery takes up little floor space and is suitable for producers with smaller plant areas. Although the horizontal packaging machine is relatively large, it can effectively reduce the beating of the material and ensure the integrity of the material.

Classification by packaging materials:

According to the form of materials, packaging machinery can be divided into granular, powder, liquid and solid packaging machines. The biggest difference between these machines is the metering method.

Depending on the particle size, electronic scales or measuring cups can be used for weighing. Electronic scales have high precision and can also be used for packaging mixed materials. Among them, the multi-head electronic scale can also adjust the gram weight parameters of each measuring unit according to the required gram weight of the packaging, so the electronic scale has a wide range of applications. The measuring cup is used for weighing a single material and is suitable for materials with finer particles, such as sugar and salt.

The powder can be weighed by screw to reduce dust and ensure a clean environment. For the selection of liquid packaging machines, please click “Powder Packing Machine”.

Liquid can choose liquid pump. Choose different liquid pumps according to the viscosity of the liquid. For the selection of liquid packaging machines, please click "Liquid Packing Machine".

Classification by working process:

Whether or not it contains the bag making process is the biggest difference in this category. Form fill seal machine has bag maker. After installing the packaging film, it needs some debugging and calibration to operate smoothly. Therefore, higher technical support is required. Fill and seal machines lack the bag-making process and generally have ready-made containers (which can be bags, bottles or boxes).

All after all, this is the classification of some packaging machinery. There are also various packaging machines that have not been mentioned above.
