Packaging machines are used to pack different products and items. After packing, the quality of the product/food item is maintained until it is opened again to be used/consumed.
There are two types of packaging machine vertical & horizontal. There are quite differences between both of these packaging machines.
The vertical packaging machine is used to pack products in the vertical direction, and the horizontal packaging machine is used to pack products horizontally. This article will give you a complete overview of both packaging machines and how they affect the purpose of packaging.
Horizontal Packing Machine
A horizontal flow wrap machine is another name for a horizontal packaging machine. Horizontal packaging works best for single, easily handled solid commodities, such as cereal bar, long shape vegetables, bars soaps, miniature toys, baked goods, and other similar items.
Due to its high packaging capacity, the horizontal packaging machine is appropriate for food and non-food packaging of various products with stable speed as usually it works with manual feeding.
Additionally, you can alter them following customer demands and for usage in the food, chemical, cosmetic, and other industries.
Benefits of Horizontal Packaging Equipment
The following are a few benefits of horizontal packaging equipment:
Able to accommodate a variety of products
The ability of horizontal packaging machines to accommodate a variety of products is one of their most important benefits. This is due to how adaptable these machines' designs are and the freedom of size and approach horizontal packaging machine provides. As a result, everything, from little things to large, heavy items, may be packaged with them.
Stable Speed and Efficiency
The speed and efficiency of horizontal packaging machines are other benefits. These devices can quickly package a large number of goods. They are the best choice for high-volume packing applications because of this.
Detail-Oriented Product Demonstration
The accurate product displays that horizontal packing machines provide are another benefit. This implies that the products that are packaged utilizing these devices will look polished and professional.
Disadvantages of Horizontal Packaging Machine
Here are the disadvantages of horizontal packaging machine
Limited Volume Capacity
One significant disadvantage of horizontal packing machines is their low volume capacity. These devices can only wrap a small number of items at once.
Inconvenient for Higher Automation Grade
Horizontal packaging machines are work with manual feeding and difficult to make the automatic weighing. Therefore, if you wish to create several bag sizes on one machine, adjusting these machines can take time and work.
What is a Vertical Packaging Machine?
Vertical packaging machines are easy to operate and provide the best production rate compared to other packaging machines. You can get vertical machines in semi-automatic and fully automatic systems.
· Granulated coffee
· Sugar
· Powdered milk
· Flour
· Powdered spices
· Rice
· Beans
· Snacks
Additionally, you can add robot counter and feed systems, cartooning machines, and various other options to the vertical packaging machines.
If you are looking to pack liquid, granular, or powdery products, they can be packaged using an SW-PL1 Multiheaded Weigher Vertical Packing System.
It has an accuracy of +0.1-1.5g, which you can hardly find in other packaging machines. This machine is built for multiple kinds of packaging like gusset bags, pillow bags, and quad-sealed bags. You can also create customized bags, but by default, you will get 80-800mm x 60-500mm.
In a vertical packing machine, bag filling and seal manufacture co-occur. The time delay on a single cycle determines the time spent on further heating, pre-heating, or cooling.
Advantages of Vertical Packaging Machine
Here are some advantages of a vertical packaging machine.
Heavy Packaging Efficiency
A pusher that supports the bags on the vertical packing machine can also hold heavy objects while loaded onto a conveyor belt. The machinery can operate more effectively as a result.
Easy to Operate
The operation of vertical packaging machine(s) is much simpler than that of horizontal ones. They typically have an intuitive control panel that makes it simple for new users to comprehend how the device operates.
Equipped With Various Feeding Systems
A vertical packing machine can be equipped with various feeding systems, including a liquid pump, a volumetric filler, and a multihead weigher packing machine, to satisfy the needs of different packaging applications. This is one of the primary aspects of using such a machine.
High speed
Vertical packaging allows accurate bag filling at a fast rate per minute, making it ideal for sticky or gummy items like candies.
Disadvantages of Vertical Packaging Machine
Here are some disadvantages of vertical packaging machine
Hard to Pack stick shape products Vertically
The vffs usually works with multihead weigher or linear weigher, this packaging system usually pack snacks, frozen food, vegetables and etc. The customize multihead weigher can weigh stick shape products, but the cost is quite high.
