Packaging machines are essential for the production of food products. Unfortunately, they can also be troublesome machines. In this article, we discuss some common problems that packaging machines can experience, and how to fix them.


Flatulence: hot air remains in the shrink film


Package machines are often responsible for the emission of hot air, which can cause problems such as flatulence. The hot air can also cause burns on the user's skin if it comes into contact with them.


Another common problem with packaging machines is that they can cause excessive noise levels. This can be particularly disruptive during quieter times of the day or during night-time hours.

Atomization: The surface of the shrink film becomes blurred, like mist


Adhesion: The shrink film does not stick to the packaging machine

Overflow: Shrink film spills out of the package and onto the floor

Injection Moulding: Thin films are not injected properly into the mould


Fisheye: Fisheye-like wrinkles appear on the surface of the shrink film


Wrinkles: The shrink film is wrinkled from the pressure and heat of the machine

Uneven Shrinkage: The shrink film does not shrink evenly, causing distorted images on the final product

Pieces that Stick Out: Pieces of the film that stick out of the machine during processing can cause distortion

Warped Film: Warped shrink film can cause noticeable distortions in images and can be difficult to fix

Crow's feet: a series of wrinkles appear on the corners and edges of the shrink film


Packaging machines produce shrink film quite quickly, but what if it's not perfect? Crow's feet appear on the corners and edges of the shrink film, which means it won't stick to the packaging machine properly and will be wasted. Crow's feet can also make the film difficult to read, so it's important to address them as soon as possible.


Solutions for all kinds of problems


Packaging machines can be a great investment and help increase your business, but if they don't work well, they can be a major headache. Here are some common problems and solutions:

1. Packaging machine jams. One of the most common problems with packaging machines is that they get jammed. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including improperly packaged products, incorrect settings, or even foreign objects getting caught in the machinery. To prevent this from happening, make sure to clean the machine regularly and adjust the settings as needed.


2. Packaging machine doesn't start. Another common problem with packaging machines is that they don't start. This can be due to a number of things, including dirty motors, worn out parts, or a lack of battery power. To fix this issue, check the batteries and replace them if necessary, then try restarting the machine.


3. Packaging machine doesn't produce correct product sizes or shapes. Another common problem with packaging machines is that they don't produce the correct product sizes or shapes. This can be due to incorrect settings or damage to the machinery itself. To fix this issue, adjust the settings as needed and test the machine to see if it produces the desired.
