Application of automation technology in packaging machinery

Packaging machinery and equipment refers to the mechanical equipment that can carry out all or part of the products and goods packaging process. Using mechanical equipment packaging products can improve production efficiency, reduce labor force, apply the needs of mass production, and can meet the standards of a clean environment.

In the continuous, large-scale industrial production process, the packaging is the final process, Packaging can give full play to the function of protection, beautification, publicity, and sales of products, improve the competitiveness of goods, achieve packaging automation can improve the production capacity, ensure product quality effectively, and is good for reducing production costs.

Packaging automation is the use of automated devices to control and manage,

make it automatically according to pre-prespecified procedures.

The packaging equipment industry has emerged in Europe, at present, Germany, America, Italy, and other developed manufacturing countries are in a leading position in the world, Its packaging equipment has obtained the international range of brand influence with full product sequence, fast update speed, leading research and design ability, and advanced processing and manufacturing capacity. International well-known packaging equipment enterprises represented by Germany Krones 、Germany Bosch 、Germany KHS by providing large、complete、high precision single machine equipment and intelligent packaging production lines, not only occupy the dominant in world packaging machinery market but also occupy the main share of China’s high-end packaging equipment market.

The vast majority of China’s packaging machinery manufacturing enterprises belong to small and medium-sized enterprises, with small scale, weak independent research and development ability, less high starting point enterprises, more low-level repeated construction, weak comprehensive competitiveness, there are no better-known brands appearing internationally. The high-end packaging equipment market is occupied by foreign enterprises, and the technical level of domestic enterprises is constantly improving. With the continuous improvement of the overall strength of China’s packaging machinery industry, the export number of packaging machinery products in China is becoming more and more, and the export amount is increasing year by year. Today, China has become the world’s largest、fastest developing、largest scale, and most potential global packaging machinery market.

So, what automation technologies are used in packaging machinery ?

1、Control technology: The frequency transformer plays an extremely important role and significance in the modern packaging process, It can control the unpackaged goods to the designated packaging area, it can be seen that the frequency converter is the basis of the whole packaging. Control technology has some characteristics of fast response speed and high operation efficiency, which can effectively improve the working efficiency of packaging machinery. For example, most of the control systems of packaging machinery choose to use the PLC control system. because the PLC control system has convenient and flexible programming, stable operation, strong interference resistance, and high reliability, The application of frequency converter and PLC mainly focuses on the automatic packaging machine, convenient food production line, and other packaging equipment.

2、Display: Display is the main embodiment of the application of automation technology in packaging machinery, Trough the application of automation technology can display the simulated signal after the transformation in the terminal of the computer, At the same time the automatic display can detect and display the packaging machine during operation, make people observe visually through the monitor, it is easy for the staff to make timely adjustment and correction, give the staff reliable data support, based on this basis, the relevant personnel can carry out the corresponding treatment of the equipment in time, to ensure that the packaging machinery can be in normal operation. It can reduce economic losses and ensure the safe and stable operation of the packaging process.

3、Sensor technology： In the production of the packaging machinery industry, sensor technology is very important automation technology. Automatic control and implementation testing are the two main technologies in the production of packaging machinery, and sensor technology is the key technology in the process of connecting automatic control and realizing testing. Sensor technology is applied in the production process of the packaging machinery industry, which can conduct automatic testing and control of cleaning, heating, and packaging processes in packaging machinery production lines, providing a guarantee for the operational efficiency and quality of the packaging machinery.

4、Safety monitoring technology: safety is no trivial matter, especially food safety, which is related to people’s livelihood. Therefore, the packaging machinery industry should play a high attach to the reference and update of the detection technology. In recent years, packaging safety has been widely paid attention from the society, and consumers’ awareness of packaging safety is also constantly improving, especially food packaging. Safety detection technology includes safety detection methods and other aspects, and the packaging machinery industry needs to introduce all aspects of safety testing technology reasonably.

As a global professional intelligent weighing and packaging equipment manufacturer, Guangdong Kenwei Intellectualized Machinery Co., Ltd. has an annual manufacturing capacity of more than 7,000 sets of all kinds of products, including combination weigher, linear weigher , check weigher , metal detector and packaging equipment , etc. Guangdong Kenwei Intellectualized combines advanced weighing technology and automated technology into the automated production system, to create a more stable and efficient automated packaging system . In the products of Guangdong Kenwei Intellectualized, weighing sensors use well-known German brands and Japanese brand sensors, minimizing the average error of display value and actual, save material waste and improve economic efficiency; AD weighing module uses 24-bit high-speed AD chip to ensure the minimum accuracy of standard combination scale is only 0.1g, the minimum value of micro combination scale accuracy is only 0.01g, more accurate accuracy brings more economic value; display uses 50,000 hours high-life LCD screen(including LED backlight and industrial level components), has a longer service life. Since its development, Guangdong Kenwei Intellectualized combination scale products have become the first choice of many packaging machines supporting manufacturers with a more stable, more accurate, and higher cost performance of excellent quality.
