Vertical Automatic Packaging Machine

What is  Vertical Automatic Packaging Machine?

Vertical Automatic Packaging Machine can package granules, powders, liquids, and sheet materials weighing 5g to 5kg. It supports a variety of bag types, including three-side seal, back seal, and four-side seal. Bag length is adjustable from 50 to 300mm, and bag width is adaptable to sizes from 50 to 400mm. The machine is compatible with a variety of materials, including PET/AL/PE composite films, OPP/CPP single-layer films, and kraft paper composite bags. Its vertical bag-making process automates the entire process from film roll to finished product packaging, meeting the customized packaging weight, volume, shape, and material requirements of various industries. Depending on the model, output ranges from 30 to 80 bags per minute, with some high-speed models reaching up to 100 bags per minute. The price ranges from $3,000 to $15,000.

The Vertical Automatic Packaging Machine operates as follows: the material is fed from a feeding device to a metering mechanism for metering, then dropped into pre-formed bags. The bag maker simultaneously forms the bags, while a heat-sealing device heat-seals the bags horizontally and vertically. Finally, a cutting device separates the packaged products and delivers the finished product.

Structural Components of the Vertical Automatic Packaging Machine

The frame of the Vertical Automatic Packaging Machine is constructed of high-strength steel, supporting the entire machine. The film conveying system includes a film roll holder, tension control device, and guide rollers to ensure smooth conveying of the packaging material. The bag former forms the flat film into the desired bag shape, with various designs available, such as triangular plate and lapel styles. The longitudinal and transverse sealing devices primarily use heat sealing, consisting of heating elements, silicone belts, and a pressure mechanism. The metering and filling system can be configured with screw metering, volumetric cup metering, or weight metering, depending on the material characteristics. The transmission system is driven by a servo motor, ensuring high-precision positioning. The control system is based on a PLC and integrates various sensors for automated operation. The finished product output device uses a conveyor belt or chute design. The close coordination of these components ensures a stable packaging process.

Applications of Vertical Automatic Packaging Machines

Vertical Automatic Packaging Machines are used in nearly all areas where small-bag packaging is required. In the food industry, they are used to package snacks, candy, dried fruits, seasonings, tea, coffee, and other products, ensuring product freshness and portability. In the daily chemical industry, they are primarily used to package laundry detergent, shampoo samples, and bath salts. In the pharmaceutical industry, they are used for sterilization packaging of tablets, granules, and medical dressings. In agriculture, they are suitable for small-dose packaging of seeds and fertilizers. They are also used in industrial applications such as anti-static packaging of electronic components and hardware parts. With the growth of e-commerce, vertical packaging machines are playing an increasingly important role in meeting the demand for small-quantity, single-use packaging. Their flexibility and high efficiency make them an indispensable core piece of equipment in modern packaging production lines, helping manufacturers enhance product image, extend shelf life, and reduce packaging costs.

Optional Auxiliary Equipment for Vertical Automatic Packaging Machines

Vertical Automatic Packaging Machines can be integrated with auxiliary equipment such as finished product conveyors, metal detectors, and checkweighers to enhance production efficiency.

The finished product conveyor utilizes a modular belt conveyor system with 90° turns and multi-level connections. Its conveyor speed is adjustable from 0 to 30 m/min, adapting to the automated sorting needs of various package sizes. It transports packaged products to the next process, such as boxing and inspection, enhancing automation. Available types include belt and chain.
