As a front-line technician at the ply-pack packaging machine factory, I can see customers from different industries come to us with similar troubles every day-traditional packaging equipment occupies a large area, has low efficiency, and poor compatibility. And when we push the vertical packaging machine into their workshop, those frowns will always relax. Today I will talk to you about why more and more companies choose to use vertical packaging machines to achieve packaging upgrades.
Our factory has been deeply involved in the field of packaging machinery for 17 years, and we know best where the pain points of small and medium-sized enterprises are. Take the food factory we cooperated with last month as an example. Their original horizontal packaging machine took up half of the workshop, and three workers had to turn around the machine when changing production. Later, we switched to our vertical packaging machine, which directly reduced the floor space of the entire line by 60%. The height of the operating table is just right for workers to complete monitoring while standing. Even the old master said, "It is easier to work with this machine while standing than sitting before."
Speaking of the advantages of vertical packaging machines, I want to praise its "versatility" the most. Whether it is granular grains, dust-prone milk powder, or even special-shaped candies, as long as the corresponding metering hopper and film roll are replaced, the production line can be switched within half an hour. Just last week, a customer who does pet freeze-drying exclaimed: "Your vertical packaging machine is really an all-round player among granular packaging machines, from 5g trial packs to 2kg family packs!"
Some people may ask: Is it difficult to maintain automated equipment? This is exactly the direction that our R&D team focuses on. The current vertical packaging machine is equipped with an intelligent detection module as standard. For common problems such as abnormal film tension and insufficient material level, the machine can warn in advance. I remember when I helped a pharmaceutical company transform its production line last year, their technical supervisor nodded while holding our operation manual: "These fault codes are more intuitive than smartphone prompts, and new employees can start work after two days of training."
What our factory is most proud of is that we have made the vertical packaging machine into a "thinking" device. Through modular design, customers can freely choose additional modules such as coding machines and metal detectors. The production line customized for a coffee factory in Yunnan last year is a typical example - their vertical packaging machine can not only automatically fill with nitrogen to keep fresh, but also identify the weight difference of each bag of coffee beans through a visual system, with an accuracy of ±0.5 grams, which is much more reliable than manual sampling.
Of course, good equipment is inseparable from good service. Every time we install a vertical packaging machine for a customer, our engineers will stay in the factory for three days to teach workers to master all the details from daily cleaning to parameter fine-tuning. During a return visit last quarter, the director of a condiment factory in Shandong smiled and said: "After using your automated packaging equipment, we no longer hear workers complaining about the choking dust in the workshop, and the production capacity has increased by 40% compared with the same period last year."
Seeing more and more companies achieve transformation and upgrading through vertical packaging machines, our technical team is thinking about new improvement plans every day. The flexible feeding system that is being tested recently allows the same machine to switch freely between granular materials and paste materials. If you are also worried about packaging efficiency, you might as well come to our factory to see these "standing work" smart devices - after all, letting the machine "stand" for a longer time can make your company "stand" more stable!
