According to the book “Packaging Machinery Practical Manual” edited by Li Lianjin, it is pointed out that packaging machinery can be divided according to the level of automation, the type of packaging products, and the function of packaging machinery.
1. According to the level of automation of packaging machinery, it can be divided into two types: fully automatic packaging machine and semi-automatic packaging machine.
(1)Fully automatic packaging machine: It is a machine that automatically supplies packaging materials and packaged products, and can automatically complete other packaging processes;
(2) Semi-automatic packaging machine: It is a machine that supplies packaging materials and packaged products manually, but can automatically complete other packaging processes.
(1) Special packaging machine: It is a machine specially used for packaging a certain product;
(2) Multi-purpose packaging machine: It is a machine that can pack two or more products by adjusting or replacing the relevant working parts.
(3) Universal packaging machine: It is a machine suitable for packaging two or more different types of products within the specified range.
There are many classification methods of packaging machinery. Each classification method has its characteristics and scope of application but also has its limitations. From the overall situation of the world’s packaging machinery, a more scientific classification method is based on its main functions.
Packaging machinery can be divided into different functions: wrapping machinery, labeling machinery, filling machinery, filling machinery, sealing machinery, sterilization machinery, cleaning machinery, drying machinery, container machinery, strapping machinery, multi-functional packaging machinery, and finishing machinery. Auxiliary packaging machinery for other packaging operations. The Chinese standard adopts this classification method.Production Line and Machines in Water Bottling Factory
