This is great; competition adds to innovation and means that Milk Processing Plant can get better prices. However, when you are faced with many options when looking for prefabricated pouch packaging machinery, it is difficult to decide which features to focus on in your assessment. We have prepared a few key points that will help you with the selection process for prefabricated pouch filling and sealing equipment:
1. Understand whether the device uses a mechanical or servo drive. Standard mechanical drives can do the job, but they also have limitations. The servo drive provides smoother and more precise operation through position feedback. Servo drives can also provide higher package speeds.
2. Pay attention to the layout of the pre-making bag machine. Is it open and accessible for easy and fast conversion and effective cleaning and maintenance? Can you easily change settings without having to operate the control cabinet or HMI? Speaking of the HMI, is it convenient to mount on the swing arm for maximum flexibility or fixed installation? Our focus here is to ensure that the machine is unobstructed and open to allow accessibility and flexibility. Your machine operator and maintenance staff will thank you.
3. Can this machine adapt to the heavier filling volume? A suitable prefabricated pouch filling machine will have a stainless steel pouch holding arm that can support at least 10 kg. This eliminates sagging of the gripping arm over time when supporting a heavier, larger product fill. Even if you don't currently need a lot of product filling, the ability to do so in the future is a good choice in your pocket. Flexible packaging machinery should have the ability to grow as you grow.
4. Ask to see the operation of the prefabricated bag machine, and better still ask if you can see the device running in the actual customer installation. There is no better way to evaluate packaging machinery than to personally experience packaging machinery and talk to people who use it every day.
5. Listen to the sound of the machine while it is running. Often, larger packaging machinery equals more wear parts. The more wear parts, the longer the maintenance downtime and the more spare parts, which all result in higher long-term total cost of ownership.
Initial investment and total cost of ownership
It is undeniable that top-quality prefabricated bag packaging machinery requires a large investment. However, it's not just about looking at numbers and choosing the lowest-priced packaging equipment manufacturer, but also considering the overall value of the equipment and the total cost of ownership. Yes, packaging equipment manufacturers can provide their (seemingly similar) equipment, but there is always a reason. Packaging equipment that initially saves $50,000 may eventually double or triple in maintenance, repair, and reconfiguration, and lose productivity due to machine downtime.
