Looking at the rows of wafers that are automatically measured, wrapped, sealed and cut in one go, old customer Manager Zhang slapped his thigh: "This packaging speed is at least 20% faster than last year's batch of equipment!"
As a technical team deeply engaged in the field of packaging machinery, this year we focused on breaking through the dynamic compensation technology of pillow packaging machines. I remember last month at a biscuit company in Shandong, their production supervisor pointed to the packaging line and sighed: "At a speed of 120 packages per minute, there are always 3-5 seal deviations." Our engineers installed a visual positioning system on the equipment. Now even if the conveyor belt vibrates slightly, the pillow packaging machine can automatically correct the deviation, and the yield rate is stable at more than 99.2%.
The changes brought about by intelligent upgrades are far more than that. When I visited customers in Guangdong last week, their technical director took us to see the remodeled production line. The pillow packaging section, which originally required three workers to operate, now only requires one person to monitor the equipment status, and more than 20 parameters such as packaging speed and temperature curve are jumping on the touch screen in real time. "This system is like installing an intelligent brain on the equipment," customers commented on our newly developed HMI human-machine interaction interface.
In the field of food packaging equipment, the application scenarios of pillow packaging machines are becoming more and more extensive. In addition to traditional candy and puffed food packaging, we now receive many special requirements: some customers need to package 2-meter-long noodles, and some require five different specifications of seasoning packets to be processed at the same time. In response to these needs, we specially designed a modular pillow packaging machine, which can achieve "one machine for multiple uses" by quickly changing the mold. This month, three instant noodle manufacturers have signed customization agreements.
Recently, the industry has been discussing the topic of improving packaging efficiency, and our factory's technical exchange meeting has also studied this topic. The pillow packaging line delivered to a listed pharmaceutical company last quarter is a typical case. By optimizing the heat sealing temperature and film material tension control, their effervescent tablet packaging speed increased from 80 bags per minute to 110 bags per minute, and the customer also sent a special thank-you letter.
Looking at the more than ten pillow packaging machines being assembled and debugged in the workshop, Master Wang, who is in charge of production, sighed: "Ten years ago, we still relied on imported equipment drawings for improvement, but now even Southeast Asian customers specify that they must install a Chinese operating system." Indeed, from imitation and follow-up to independent research and development, our pillow packaging machine has been iterated to the seventh generation, and 6 utility model patents have been added this year alone.
These two days, colleagues in the marketing department brought back new news: an international food brand plans to build four new packaging lines in China, focusing on the intelligence of pillow packaging machines. Upon hearing this news, our technical team has begun to prepare a plan to impress customers with the self-developed dynamic temperature control system and AI quality inspection module. If this tough battle is won, our factory's pillow packaging machine will be on the international track!
