What is an automated and industrial packaging machine and how does it work?

ELITER Packaging Machinery solves all your doubts about packaging machines

Packaging machines have been gradually gaining an important space in a fairly wide spectrum of industries, from sectors such as wood and furniture, aluminum, construction, food or automotive to, above all, logistics and transport. They use materials such as paper, cardboard or film and are applicable to a wide variety of products with various shapes, weights and characteristics.

Why are these types of machines becoming so popular?

Mainly for two reasons. On the one hand, the use of automated packaging machines means a considerable increase in the safety of products against damage caused by external agents, such as, for example, detachments. On the other hand, the fact that it is an automatic process allows incorporating pallets into the packaging itself, which is a great advantage, especially in the logistics sector.

What do industrial packaging machines consist of

We have already mentioned that packaging machines have been making their way into a wide variety of sectors thanks to the benefits they incorporate into the packaging process, but what exactly does a packaging machine consist of?

A wrapping machine or industrial packaging machine is a machine used in the packaging process that wraps the merchandise in recyclable polyethylene film in its various variants, with the aim of protecting it from possible damage that it may suffer during transport or storage, as well as from climatic conditions, such as, for example, humidity. Depending on the material used, it will be more or less effective in outdoor storage.

The packaging machines, in addition to ensuring the good condition of the goods, imply a considerable optimization of the material used in the packaging process, achieving savings in the amount of packaging material used.

What applications does a packaging machine have?

How does a packaging machine work?

Cold and industrial packaging machines, in general, consist of a transport table through which the product moves that enters a rotating crown that wraps it with the stretchable and, normally, transparent recyclable polyethylene film although there is also film of different colors. The whole process is automatic, requiring minimal attention from a technician who simply checks that the process is developing properly.

To start the process, all you have to do is press a button. Here we can differentiate between automatic balers, which, as the name suggests, carry out the entire process automatically, or semi-automatic balers. Likewise, the very characteristics of each model will determine the weight of the products that the machine is capable of supporting and packing.

What types of packaging machines are there?

It is essential that the baler adapts to the characteristics and needs of the industry where it will be used. In general, we can differentiate two large groups of baler:

On the one hand, the automatic balers, used in large production lines, which need a more complete automation of the process. Therefore, these balers carry out the entire packaging process automatically, without the need for an operator to perform actions beyond starting it up and controlling the process. In this group it is possible to find a huge variety of options. You just have to look for the one that best suits the characteristics and needs of your business.

On the other hand, we find the semi-automatic balers, used in businesses with smaller productions and loads. It will be necessary to perform certain manual actions, such as moving the load, but they also achieve a great result.
