Packaging is necessary to protect products, and is now done mainly through the use of packaging machinery. Machinery plays increasingly important roles such as: Improve labor productivity. Sliding blister sealing machine packaging machinery is much faster than manual packaging. One good example of this is the candy packing machine.
The typical machine is loaded with a continuous flat roll of plastic film, which has usually had labeling and artwork applied. Plastic is the most commonly used packaging material in the food industry, but the technology can be used to form continuous metallized foil/film, paper, and fabric product containers by changing the edge sealing/seaming methods.
Small impulse sealer Heat-sealed material lies on a warehouse floor. Notice the corded heat sealer to the left. Heat sealer used to prepare plastic bag of lettuce for shelf life testing Continuous band heat sealer. A heat sealer is a machine used to seal products, packaging, and other thermoplastic materials using heat. This can be with uniform ...
A semi-automatic box sealing machine A large roll of box-sealing tape in the tape head of a case-sealing machine. A case sealer or box sealer is a piece of equipment used for closing or sealing corrugated boxes. It is most commonly used for regular slotted containers (RSC) and can involve adhesive (cold water-borne or hot melt adhesive), box ...
External vacuum sealers involve a bag being attached to the vacuum-sealing machine externally. The machine will remove the air and seal the bag, which is all done outside the machine. A heat sealer is often used to seal the pack. Typically these units use a dry piston vacuum pump which is often considered a "maintenance-free" pump.
Tube filling machinery: Tubes usually have viscous products and require special filling equipment. [ 5 ] Vertical form fill sealing machines form packages such as pouches. fill them and heat seal the tops.
In packaging, it is used for package fabrication such as forming tubes from flexible materials, attaching plastic closures to package forms, etc. Perhaps the most common use of induction sealing is cap sealing, a non-contact method of heating an inner seal [1] [2] to hermetically seal the top of plastic and glass containers. This sealing ...
Both manual and automatic tools are available as combination tools, which perform the tensioning, sealing and cutting, or as separate tensioners, sealers, and cutters. Manual and automatic hand sealers for steel can use either a seal or a seal-less joint. Manual tensioners and crimping systems are available for low-volume applications.
