"I've had enough of the days of wrapping bearings with oil paper!" In the commissioning workshop in the northeast corner of the ply-pack plant, Master Zhang, the 58-year-old equipment team leader, twisted the wrench and was doing the final inspection of a newly launched industrial parts packaging machine. The two-meter-high steel guy behind him had just completed a batch of packaging tests on excavator track pins - the metal parts were wrapped in anti-rust film, sealed with sharp edges by the heat shrink box, thrown into the bump test bench and rolled for half an hour, and there was not even a scratch when it was opened.
Parts packaging, the pain point is more "painful" than the parts
Anyone who has worked in the heavy industry knows how much of a headache it is to pack "iron lumps" such as gears and hydraulic valves. In the rainy season in the south, the packaging boxes grow mold, the parts collide with each other and rust during sea transportation, and the manual film wrapping of special-shaped parts is inefficient... Mr. Li from our factory's technical department counted on his fingers and complained: "Last month, a customer shipped an engine cylinder to Southeast Asia. When unpacking, he found that the fixed bracket had punctured the packaging film, and the surface of the entire batch of goods was covered with oxidation spots."
This is exactly the Achilles' heel of the industrial parts packaging machine. Unlike food and daily chemical packaging, industrial parts are often heavy and irregular in shape, and the requirements for moisture and collision resistance are almost harsh. The new model we are promoting this year directly raises the load limit to 200 kilograms, and the conveyor belt is equipped with a wear-resistant ceramic lining. Dealing with casting burrs is like Lao Zhang's catchphrase: "Iron rods are ground into needles? It doesn't exist here with our equipment!"
Three tricks to solve the industry's "hardest problem"
When you enter the assembly workshop, you can intuitively feel the "hard-core strength" of the industrial parts packaging machine. Production line No. 3, which is currently testing the machine, is packaging a batch of agricultural machinery gearbox gears:
. Anti-rust black technology: The equipment has a built-in humidity sensing module, which automatically adjusts the tension of the anti-rust film according to the material of the parts. For "delicate" parts such as precision bearings, an extra layer of vapor phase anti-rust film will be wrapped during packaging, and the workshop has tested that it will not rust for half a year;
. Withstand violent tests: In response to the common container drop problem in sea transportation, we added a buffer structure to the heat-sealed blade. Last week, we conducted a test for a mining machinery factory in Liaoning. The packaged crusher hammer head was dropped from a height of 2 meters onto the concrete floor, and the film was only slightly deformed;
. Automation saves manpower: The traditional method of packaging a diesel engine connecting rod requires 3 workers to cooperate for 20 minutes. Now, through the multi-axis linkage robot arm, a single person can complete the entire process of loading-positioning-packaging.
"What impressed me most about this system is its 'stubbornness'." Operator Xiao Liu pointed to the control screen and smiled, "Last time, an apprentice mixed 45 steel parts and aluminum alloy parts into the production line, and the equipment immediately alarmed and stopped - it used the metal detector to distinguish the material characteristics and automatically switched the packaging parameters."
"Unexpected gains" from old customers
The story of an auto parts factory in Hebei is the best illustration. They purchased two of our industrial parts packaging machines at the beginning of the year. They originally only wanted to solve the problem of rust on the gearbox housing during shipping, but unexpectedly found that the cost was reduced. The factory manager did some calculations: in the past, manual packaging required foam padding + desiccant, but now the equipment is directly vacuum-bonded, and the amount of packaging materials used is reduced by one-third; what's more surprising is that the "broken plastic bag + tape" packaging that was originally disliked by European and American customers has been replaced with heat-shrink transparent boxes. The product grade has directly improved, and the order volume has increased by 40% this year.
Such cases have given rise to our continuous iteration of technology. The flagship model that will be put into production next month can even automatically calculate the center of gravity according to the weight of the parts to ensure that they will not tip over during stacking. Director Wang, who is currently participating in the commissioning, revealed: "A military unit came to see the prototype and said that our equipment is more stable than their current solution for packaging artillery shell fuses."
From palm-sized precision gears to half-man-high engineering machinery parts, from auto parts to wind power equipment fasteners, our factory's industrial parts packaging machine is redefining the standard of "industrial packaging". If you are also worried about the loss of parts during transportation, welcome to the workshop to find Lao Zhang for tea - he will definitely pat the machine shell and say: "This iron thing is more caring than my husband!"
