SMART PACKAGING MACHINE

 

ABSTRACT

Many small scale food production business owners, small and medium scale grocery store owners do the process of weighting and packaging their product manually. Small and medium scale food production business owners who particularly made product is chilly, Dal, Turmeric, Pepper and etc. They do the weighting, filling and packaging process manually. The package seal process is carried out with the help of candles. The process is very time and effort consuming and thus it limit their production as well as their business. It is observed that the cheapest machine which would automate this process of weighting and packaging cost around 1.25 lakhs and it is manufactured by us. Automatic weighting and packaging which is price rate mentioned is not affordable for small and medium scale business. This project aims to develop such a machine which automatically weight and pack the food and provide quality and healthy with the help of microcontroller and sensors. The idea is to manually place the bag, then automatic weighting, filling and packaging is done. And other future is can know customer order finish or ongoing, because machine has connected to network then it is automatically maintain the data base system encoding given order of the supervisor. Then machine owner can know how many orders there and how many times are taken to finish then he can give better service to customer. The purpose of doing this project is to reduce human efforts and time consumption then they can improve their business and take better interest reducing so many waste, on time transportation, over production, over store, decreasing machine cost is the major advantage of project. The machine design is based on simple mechanism and it can be installed easily. The speed of packaging is increased thus resulting in more production and business. It will reduced the number of paid workers to pack. Then they can use to another work.

Key words: Automatic weighting, automatic filling, Automatic packaging, micro controller, stepper motor.

 Smart Packing machine

 

Nowadays, automation in the industry becomes the global trend in manufacturing The Automatic Weighting and packaging machines are fully automatic multi-head weighting and packaging machine. The machine is used for packing, seeds, vegetables, dry fruit packaging, pharmaceutical and coffee industry. It can wrap the product in 10 grams to 100’s of kilogram of pouches and sachets and bags. It fills the product in the bags and den seal the product centrally. It is based on draw bar mechanism or belt draw down mechanism.

Automation is certainly the necessity as today’s manufacturers face razor-thin profit margins. Companies must automate in order to deliver what today’s customer is demanding when he wants it and at the price he wants to pay. The increase in manufacturing is led by the automation as well as low wages, customization, mass production, flexibility and information. The entire weighing and packaging process is done with the help of electro pneumatics and motors. The control for the hardware is to be process by the programmable logic controller via the computer. The whole system executes the following processes: I. Automation using the microcontroller II. Filling of material into the bag III. Packaging IV. Sealing the automatic weighing and packaging machines provide a wide array of applications for different industries. The greatest asset of the packaging and weighing machines that are manufactured in the market is that they are advanced, and they provide effective coordination with the other processes of production in the best possible manner. It is important for the food industry to stick to the market standards in a position that will make sure their brand value and attach to the industry quality standards in the best possible manner. It is necessary to note that the customized solutions provided by packing machines for food products in India are modified today to meet a set of items in the process. The working of an automatic weighing and packaging machine is based on micron roller and load cell. The system consists of a hopper which is used for storage of material to be dispensed. ‘Hopper’ is a defined as a container which generally tapers downward and can discharge the material stored in it at the bottom. The system has a load cell, when any object is placed over the load cell the platform top plate impels downward. This creates pressure on the load cell. Pressure is directly proportional to the weight which is converted to the digital signal with the help of microcontroller. The input is given with the help of keypad and the input value is displayed on the LCD display or data base system it can monitor remotely.

The door is controlled by using stepper motors. The stepper motors are used because they provide stable speed control even with the fluctuating load and offer constant torque over a wide range of speed. The content dispensed from the hopper is filled into the ‘Paper Bags’. These bags are manually held under the machine and when it is filled it can be folded and stapled.

Ahala tree planting program

• We have plant many Ahala trees at Synergy area in BOI ZONE and we will hope it will take wonderful beauty to our nature
  

Plant a tree and be a valuable person!!!

It will be great step for future
