The role of packaging equipment

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 progress of technology, packaging equipment is playing an increasingly important role in the field of packaging. Its main functions are as follows:

(1) Can greatly improve labor productivity

Mechanical packaging is much faster than manual packaging, improving efficiency dozens of times.

(2) It can effectively guarantee the packaging quality

Mechanical packaging can obtain the same specifications of packaging materials according to the requirements of packaging materials and the required shape and size, while manual packaging cannot be guaranteed. This is particularly important for export commodities. Only mechanical packaging can achieve packaging standardization and meet the requirements of collective packaging.

(3) Can realize the operation that cannot be realized by manual packaging

Some packaging operations, such as vacuum packaging, inflatable packaging, body-fitting packaging, isobaric filling, etc., 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 high. For example, manual packaging of products with large volume and heavy weight consumes both physical strength and safety; For light and small products, due to high frequency and monotonous action, it is easy to make workers suffer from occupational diseases.

(5) In favor of workers' labor protection

For some products that seriously affect human health, such as products with serious dust and toxicity, and products with irritant and radioactive substances, it is unavoidable to use manual packaging to harm health, while mechanical packaging can be avoided and can effectively protect the environment from pollution.

(6) It can reduce packaging costs and save storage and transportation costs

For loose products, such as cotton, tobacco, silk, hemp, etc., the use of compression packaging machine can greatly reduce the volume, thus reducing the packaging cost. At the same time, due to its large size, it can save storage capacity, reduce storage costs and facilitate transportation.

(7) It can reliably ensure product hygiene

Some products, such as the packaging of food and drugs, are not allowed to be packaged by hand according to the hygiene law, because they will pollute the products, while mechanical packaging avoids direct contact with food and drugs by human hands, ensuring the hygiene quality.

(8) It can promote the development of relevant industries

Packaging machinery is a comprehensive science, which involves materials, technology, equipment, electronics, electrical appliances, automatic control and other disciplines. It requires the synchronous and coordinated development of all relevant disciplines. Problems in any discipline 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 of packaging machinery, its relevant front and rear processes are bound to adapt to it, which also promotes the synchronous development of relevant processes.
