3 Tips to Selecting a Packaging Machine

Are you thinking of automating your packaging process? Here are some tips that can help you select the right packaging machine.

Knowing Your Bag Parameters and Product Needs

Every packaging machine has differing characteristics in which it can operate. It includes the maximum bag size that a machine can seal, the type of material for your package, and the fill weight that the machine can accommodate. Providing these details to your OEM can allow them to select the most suitable device to optimise your business needs. For instance, knowing the product enables your OEM to suggest a machine and a suitable bagging material. Suppose you can provide sizing details of your product. It will be even better because they can provide you with an ideal bagging size that minimises the wrapper used and ensures that the product remains completely protected.

Knowing the Space Restrictions

Packaging Machines come in various sizes and are built to accommodate different spaces within facilities. Some are made for less floor space but occupy more vertical space. Besides, where further customisations are needed, there will be changes in spaces that your equipment will fill. Being clear on the area allows you to plan for the most optimal location to place your machine and account for the additional extensions needed.

Knowing the Volume of Production Needed

Different machines can help package the products at different rates, meaning that machines can be more or less suitable for meeting your customer requirements. Choosing the right packaging machine will allow you to produce the volume of packaged items you need.

With all these tips in mind, we hope you can better select a packaging machine for your products! Here is a video about the various applications of Automatic Packaging Machines.
