Packaging machine
Packaging machines are machines that complete stages of the packaging process. Examples include filling machines, sealing machines, wrapping machines, strapping machines, labelling machines and coding machines.
Packaging machines have advantages such as reducing labour costs associated and increasing the efficiency of the packaging process through the use of automation.
Types
Classification schemes include:.
Degree of automation
Strapping Machines
Semi-automatic and fully automatic strapping machines substantially improve efficiency in a warehouse and also the overall presentation of your packaged product. The labour saving can often easily cover the relatively low cost of the strapping machine.
Both semi and fully automatic strapping machines can easily be included in a packing production line where packing tables and strapping machines are positioned at workable heights.
Automatic strapping machine
Automatic strapping machines allow hands free securing of parcels with automatically tensioned, sealed and cut polypropylene strapping.
Operation is either by foot pedal or parcel sensor making these machines ideal for volume throughput.
Semi-Automatic strapping machine
Semi-automatic strapping machines will allow one operator to automatically tension, seal and cut polypropylene strapping to give neat and secure fastening on any size box.
Adjustable strap tensioning to suit each package prevents strap damage to softer boxes.

Function
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. Here, hundreds to thousands of candies can be wrapped in minutes.
- Ensure packaging quality. Mechanical packaging is particularly important for exported goods to achieve consistent packaging.
- Handle specialized requirements, such as vacuum packaging, inflatable packaging, skin packaging and pressure filling.
- Reduce labor and improve working conditions for bulky/heavy products.
- Protect workers from health effects brought by dust, toxic/hazardous products and prevent environmental contamination.
- Reduce packaging costs and save storage costs for loose products, such as cotton, tobacco, silk, linen, etc., by simply using compression packaging.
- Reliably ensure product hygiene by eliminating hand contact with food and medicines.
