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.
