we are going to explain everything you need to know about packaging machinery.Packaging machines in the industry

In the industry there are many types of machines dedicated to the protection of containers and industrial packaging. They prepare the products for later storage or transport. This is the last step in the production line, although by no means the least important.

There is more than one type of packaging machine, each of them with a different function. These machines are designed to use one type of packaging or another, depending on the needs of each product.

Packaging machinery

Packaging machinery are responsible for preparing the packaging for transport, although not all companies know about their existence.

They are used for baling, wrapping and grouping the goods inside the carton with overwrap film. A convenient and safe way to protect your company's merchandise by ensuring that it is kept in good condition.

Also for the filming of feeding carts. This way you will be able to keep the products away from the dirt in the warehouse.

Overwrapping Machine

Overwrapping machines are machines that cordon the goods together horizontally, vertically or to the pallet. This overwrap packaging is done by cording the plastic around the load being prepared. The main applications of these machines are the sealing of packages for transport, the compacting of the products inside the pallet, the joining of individual pieces from smaller to larger sizes (if this union is not done well, the pallet may suffer in transport, even breaking the entire package), the sealing and sealing for the safety of the load and fixing said load completely to the pallet.

Sleeve wrapping machine

The sleeve wrapping machines have the function of packaging or wrapping a product using cardboard sleeve. They can be used in all types of products that need sleeve packaging, such as food, pharmaceuticals, perfumery and cosmetics, books, electronics, etc…

It is a quick solution to one-off packaging needs. In a moment you can prepare products for immediate sale or presentation.

They are highly recommended for short or sporadic series, small productions, sample packaging, etc... It allows to make different combinations of products as appropriate at all times.

The box sealing machine is another one of those machines that are used for packaging. They are equipment that can be automatic or manual (although the most used in the industry are automatic ones). They are ideal for any production line and serve to properly close the boxes with the products that are leaving said work lines. There are also sealing machines that are manual. They are especially useful in offices, small shops or for individuals in removals and renovations.

Cartoning machine

If you have to make shipments of fragile products the air cushion filling systems will be your best ally. The packaging protection system is used for the protection of products with carton boxes. Depending on the carton box packaging used, it can be used to hold products, to fill gaps or for the enveloping protection inside the box.

These machines do not need an external secondary packaging. They can be used in large warehouses or in small stores with online shipping.

The cartoning machine is an example of this type of machinery, and within this there are different types that offer a series of advantages. We use this equipment to seal and weld plastic bags.

Small carton sealing machines are also used in small shops or even in homes when moving or making renovations. For these cases, the manual carton packaging machine is the star. On the other hand, there are also the hand-held tweezers, the compact welding machine, it has an electromagnet and a cutting blade, they are easy to use and ensure the quality in the presentation of the product; the desktop carton adhesive sealing machine, with a potentiometer that regulates the temperature to be precise with cartons of different thickness. It is perfect for small shops, workshops and warehouses; the semi-automatic cartoning machine is intended for very intense applications, since it works at high speeds.

The packaging of a product in packaging systems is a whole world, since having the right one can save more time and money than it may seem a priori. Therefore, the packaging machine used in a company must be appropriate to the needs of its products and the caliber of the speed and quantity in its production.
