How to choose food packaging equipment?

With the rapid development of the food industry and people's attention to food quality and safety, food production, packaging and other machinery and equipment industries are facing opportunities. In recent years, with the development of food packaging technology, a variety of packaging equipment has appeared on the market, such as vacuum packaging machines, pellet packaging machines, and so on. So, how do we choose?

The packaging process involves industries

The packaging process mainly involves four industries, including food processing industry, packaging mechanized production industry, flexible and rigid packaging material processing industry, and plastic resin and film production. Among them, in the food processing industry, there are many categories of food packaging, including fresh-keeping packaging, vacuum packaging, aseptic packaging, quick-frozen packaging, inflatable packaging, blister packaging, skin packaging, stretch packaging, and so on. The packaging characteristics correspond to the requirements of different foods and can effectively guarantee the quality of the products.

How to choose packaging machinery

1. Packaging quality. Although food packaging machinery can protect food and extend the container period of food. However, if the quality of the packaging equipment is not good enough, the packaging machine's incidental construction, such as cartoning machine, filling machine, reel, etc., will not only affect the efficiency of the entire food packaging production line, but also directly lead to unqualified food packaging and fail to ensure food safety.

2. Packaging speed. At present, most food production basically realizes the assembly line operation, and the food packaging is only one link of the production line. If the user chooses a food packaging machine without considering whether the packaging speed is suitable for the operation of the entire production line, or it may make the packaging process unable to connect with other processes, resulting in a midway shutdown. Therefore, users should purchase packaging machines according to the needs of the production line to ensure that the packaging speed of the packaging machine is seamlessly connected with the operating speed of other food processing equipment to achieve efficient operations.

3. Choose suitable equipment according to actual needs. Due to the diverse types of packaging equipment in the market, prices, comprehensive performance, and functions are different. For example, vacuum packaging machine, modified atmosphere packaging machine, skin packaging machine, three types of equipment can protect food safety and achieve the purpose of product preservation.

4. Packaging automation and intelligence. Today, when the automation and intelligence of the food industry continue to increase, how to improve the automation level of the food processing industry and the food packaging industry is a problem that companies need to think about. With the continuous advancement of the "machine substitution" wave, many companies have carried out industrial upgrading and transformation, and introduced robots, which have been applied to many links such as sorting, packaging, handling, and stacking.
