The feeder can realize the automation of the feeding process, and it can be used in conjunction with the pouch packing machine automatic to avoid the danger of high-altitude feeding, reduce labor intensity, and improve production efficiency. There are three main types feeders: screw feeder, bucket feeder, and conveyor belt feeder. It is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other production industries. The following introduces the principles and related applications of these three feeding machines.

1. Screw feeder

    The screw feeder is often used for powder conveying in the application of pouch packing machine for powder to make as a pouch packing machine auger filler. The principle is that when the screw body rotates, the material entering the machine tank is automatically conveyed upward by the reverse thrust of the rotating blade, and the material is automatically fed through the screw rod during the automatic packaging process. The transportation process is closed, avoiding the pollution of materials, and has the characteristics of automatic feeding, fast feeding, labor saving and safety.

Tips for clearing the blockage of the feeder: 

When the feeder is working, if the conveying is not smooth or blocked, stop working immediately. Open the unloading gate, reverse the feeding motor, discharge the materials or sundries blocked in the feeding pipe, and clean the feeding pipe.

2. Bucket feeder

    The chain bucket feeder is mostly used for lifting and conveying fixed materials (granules, strips) from top to bottom or bottom to top, such as biscuits, rice, miscellaneous grains, small steamed buns, milk tea, glutinous rice balls, dumplings, chocolate, peanuts Rice, melon seeds, pistachios, walnuts and other granular materials. The equipment consists of a conveyor belt and a material hopper, and is often used in conjunction with food pouch packing machine automatic to realize automatic feeding linkage of food.

2. Before each use, fill the material tank with water (or 75° alcohol), cover the discharge pipe with a rubber tube (bypass the horizontal sealing copper block) and lead it to the sewer (or recycle use), and start the machine to run 5-10 minutes to flush the pipes. This is to ensure the food hygiene standards are met.

3. Set the packing material on the tape shaft, adjust it on the center line of the former, to make the tape can maintain the same width from left to right when forming. Then tighten the screws on the two fastening sleeves respectively, and adjust the spring pressure of the film-adjusting elastic device moderately, so that it can swing freely after automatically pulling the material bag, and it is advisable to have a good brake.

4. After the packaging material passes through the two belt-passing tubes, it is buckled into the former to make the packaging material symmetrical from left to right. Adjust the date to the current date, from top to bottom in XX year XX month xx day.

5. Adjust the vertical heat-sealing temperature to 140-1700°C and the horizontal heat-sealing temperature to 200-250°C. The specific temperature depends on the material and thickness of the packaging material, and then carefully fine-tuned. Preheat for 20 minutes to keep the heat-sealing die at constant temperature before formal filling production. In the future, as long as the power supply is not turned off, continuous production can be performed without reheating.

6. Adjust the position of the moving bag connecting rod on the variable crank to get the required length of the material bag, adjust inward to shorten, and outward to extend. Note that the main power supply must be cut off first before adjustment. When adjusting, the fastening nut on the slider should be loosened first, and then the adjustment knob can be screwed. After adjustment, the fastening nut should be tightened again before starting the machine.

7. Adjust the position of the quantitative pump rod of the pouch packing machine for liquid on the variable crank to get the required filling volume. Adjust inwards to decrease and outwards to increase. The method is as in Articles 5 and 6.

    The piston ring of this machine is an adjustable component. After using for a period of time, if there is leakage at the end of the piston rod, you can loosen the fastening screw at the end of the piston rod sleeve and turn the piston rod sleeve clockwise (inwardly). Make the piston ring expand to eliminate dripping. (Remember, the adjustment amount should be small to avoid damage to the piston ring.) After adjustment, the fastening screw should still be tightened to prevent loosening and displacement.

8. During normal production, just press the switch button of the liquid pouch packing machine, no need to adjust, the production quantity on duty is automatically counted by the counter.

   When the packaging material roll is used up, stop the machine immediately, replace it with a new roll film, and turn the three-way valve of the quantitative pump to the circulation state to stop the liquid supply. Only after the new material bag is formed, the liquid can be supplied again, and the production can continue.

9. When there are many solids in the filling liquid, it should be filtered in advance. After using for a period of time, the non-stick cloth of the vertical and horizontal seals is worn out. At this time, you can unscrew the clamping pipe to adjust a certain distance, and then you can use it normally after tightening it (don’t wait until it is completely worn out to adjust).

10. The vertical and horizontal heat-sealing copper blocks should be checked regularly, and the debris should be removed in time, otherwise the heat-sealing effect will be seriously affected. It is not allowed to scrape with metal tools and sandpaper when cleaning, otherwise it will easily damage the working surface and make it unusable. After cooling down, wipe with a cloth or wooden tool dipped in organic solvent to remove foreign matter.

11. Regularly rub methyl silicone oil on the non-stick cloth of vertical seal and horizontal seal to prolong the service life of the non-stick cloth and increase the heat sealing effect (methyl silicone oil model 201-350CS).

12. When there are abnormal phenomena such as poor sealing, continuous bagging, leakage, etc., it is strictly forbidden to pick up with hands and various tools, and stop the machine immediately for processing.

13. This fully automatic small liquid automatic packaging machine has been adjusted to the best state before leaving the factory.

If maintenance is required, experienced technicians should be invited to record the matching dimensions of the parts before dismantling them.

Users should follow the above basic daily operations. If you have any questions, you can consult technical personnel to solve the problem quickly.

Pouch packing machine automatic is widely used. It can pack all kinds of large bags and small bags of granules, powders, liquids, sauces and other products. The feeding and quantification are relatively simple. The difficulty of this machine is sealing, because it has to face different packaging material, thickness, etc., which require different temperature, sealing time, sealing force, cutting, etc. to coordinate with each other to ensure the beautiful sealing effect. This is mainly regulated by the vertical and horizontal sealing.

Now let’s see the structural design of the vertical and horizontal sealing mechanisms of small automatic pouch packing machine.

Vertical sealing design:

The vertical sealing mechanism is composed of vertical sealing cam, vertical sealing rod, vertical sealing head, vertical sealing pin, vertical sealing bracket and other parts. It is realized by the cooperation of the cam and the cylindrical roller, and the vertical sealing head is connected by a hinge.

It adopts the bottom-up assembly method to complete the assembly of the vertical sealing mechanism, as shown in the figure below.

Horizontal sealing mechanism:

The transverse sealing mechanism is composed of transverse sealing cam, transverse sealing rod, transverse sealing head, transverse sealing pin, transverse sealing bracket, transverse sealing spring, cap nut, bottom plate and other parts.

The horizontal sealing mechanism is also realized by a cam mechanism. In addition, springs are used to achieve transition and cushioning during horizontal sealing.

After understanding the horizontal sealing and vertical sealing of the automatic packaging machine, we have a clearer understanding of the main workflow of this type of pouch packing machine automatic.
