How To Choose The Right Hardware Packaging Machine

Q： Would you pls recommend a machine according to our products? How does it work? If we can use the same machine to pack product A and product B at different times?

A: Our machine consists of two main parts, the measurement part, and the bag packing part.

Measurement Part

Measure parts including counting series and weigher series, according to your exact product, how many pcs or grams each bag, speed, and accuracy requirement.

Hopper counting, the speed is about 100~200pcs per min per hopper, it takes a minimum of 5 minutes for 1 bag (1000 pieces), and one hopper packs similar size products, normally we suggest one hopper for one product. If you think it‘s too slow you can add more hoppers so counting together but the cost is added. Suitable for parts installation kits for furniture bathroom cars to other products which need hardware parts to install the product.

Visual counting, the accuracy is high, and faster counting via CCD camera.

The accuracy is 1/10000, speed is about 5~10 bags according to a different model. One machine is able to pack different shapes and sizes of products. Suitable for a single product in the same bag and larger quantities like 50~1000 or 10000 pcs.

Weighing speed is faster but accuracy is so so, about 1～3pcs more per bag

We have a computer multi-head weigher, speed is 30~60bags per min and headline speed is about 5~10bags. It is able to pack different products at different times.

This is the video for the headline weigher, speed is 5~10 bags per min.

This is video for multi-head weigher, speed is 30~60 bags per min

Packing Machine Part

Packing machine parts according to the bag style and material

Small VFFS machine. The machine is suitable for a composite film (sealing is not stable if PE film）, and which max bag width is 150mm, the machine makes a bag from the roll film. It uses small steel rolls to pull bags only suitable for light bags below 1kg. If chang bag width then has to change the small parts bag former. Take a little time and need different width film material.

Big VFFS machine. The machine is suitable for composite film and PE film， which max bag width is 450mm or more but a customized machine, the machine makes a bag from roll film. It uses a servo belt roll to pull the bag so suitable for heavy bags. But the products falling distance is very long as the machine is higher so not suitable for Fragile or sharp products. If change bag width then has to change the small parts bag former. Take a little time and need different width film material.

PE tubular bag machine. Machine suitable for PE tubular roll film, which max bag width is 600mm. The machine only seals and cut the bag. It’s able to pack 15~17kg per bag with a belt tray. The machine is small and the product falling distance is about 20~40mm, suitable for heavy fasteners or plastic parts （light products but big volume parts.）

Auto Bag Machine. Machine suitable for PE pre-opening roll bag with a dotted line, which max bag width is 260mm, speed is 10~15 bags per min. It’s able to pack 5kg. The machine is very small so it is also called a table machine，42kg. Suitable for small bag packs. The bag material is higher than the tubular bag and fixed bag size, or you change the roll size.
