Engineering Precision and Strength: Filament Wrapping Machines for Superior Composite Production

Some packaging operations cannot be accomplished without packaging equipment. For example many packages include heat seals to prepare or seal a package. Heat sealers are needed, even in slow labor-intensive operations. With many industries, the effectiveness of the heat seal is critical to product safety so the heat sealing operation must closely controlled with documented Verification and validation protocols. Food, drug, and medical regulations require consistent seals on packages. Proper equipment is needed.

Automation:

• Wrapping operations can be designed for variable package sizes and forms or for handling only uniform packages, where the machinery or packaging line is adjustable between production runs. Certainly slow manual operations allow workers to be flexible to package variation but also some automated lines can handle significant random variation.
• Moving from manual operations, through semi-automatic operations to fully automated wrapping lines offers advantages to some packagers. Other than the obvious control of labour costs, quality can be more consistent, and throughput can be optimized.
• Efforts at wrapping line automation increasingly use programmable logic controllers and robotics.
• Large fully automatic wrapping lines can involve several pieces of major equipment from different manufactures as well as conveyors and ancillary equipment. Integrating such systems can be a challenge. Often consultants or external engineering firms are used to coordinate large projects.

Function:

• Wrapping is necessary to protect products, and is now done mainly through the use of wrapping 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.
