Operation flow of automatic cartoning machine

With the rapid development of the food industry, people's demand for food has increased, and the demand for cartoning machinery and equipment has become increasingly obvious. In order to better ensure quality and safety, food processing enterprises package products. In the process of food packaging, there is often a process to put food into boxes and then seal them. Previously, this process was mostly manual packing, which was slow and inefficient. The appearance of automatic cartoning machine not only improves the efficiency of cartoning, but also avoids the defects caused by manual operation and ensures the food quality.


With the rapid development of food industry, people's demand for food has increased, and the demand for packaging machinery and equipment has become increasingly obvious. In order to better ensure quality and safety, food processing enterprises package products. In the process of food packaging, there is often a process to put food into boxes and then seal them. Previously, this process was mostly manual packing, which was slow and inefficient. The appearance of automatic cartoning machine not only improves the efficiency of cartoning, but also avoids the defects caused by manual operation and ensures the food quality.
The author has learned that the automatic cartoning machine mainly uses a series of complex drives to automatically load food, drugs, health products and instructions into the corresponding boxes by imitating human actions, and automatically complete the lower box, opening box, filling, and covering box. Some automatic cartoning machines with full functions also have additional functions such as sticking sealing labels or heat shrinkable wrapping. Compared with manual cartoning, automatic cartoning machine can simplify these complex processes. Automatic cartoning machine is now widely used, greatly improving work efficiency and saving labor costs.
However, although the automatic cartoning machine saves time and labor and has high efficiency, there will be some problems due to improper operation or misoperation. For example, sometimes the carton is difficult to open or jammed due to slight changes in the size and size of the carton; The stability of the machine is relatively poor after a long time of high-speed operation, and it is required to operate stably, which requires the use of more servo systems; After a long time of operation, the accuracy cannot meet the requirements, and the synchronization is not good, so the reliability needs to be improved; If the operation reliability of the machine is not high, timely maintenance is required to avoid affecting the production schedule.
Therefore, the existing problems should be handled in a timely manner, and the workflow of the automatic cartoning machine should also be familiar with. According to the professionals, the automatic cartoning machine is usually divided into four stages when it works, namely, lowering the box, opening the box, filling, and finally covering the box, and then completing the whole process. First, the blanking device will unload the materials onto the conveyor belt, and then the conveyor belt is equipped with a photoelectric switch to detect whether the products are in conformity with the requirements. If not, the instructions will not be issued and the box will not be sucked. If the requirements are met, the PLC will transmit the command to the box suction machine.
Secondly, generally speaking, the action of lowering the carton is to draw a carton from the feeding port of the carton by a suction cup and transport it to the main production line for cartoning. The carton is fixed by a guide rail clamping position and opened by a pusher. At the same time, two forward movable clamping positions will rise from the bottom and clamp the sides of the carton from the front and back direction, so that the box can be opened at a right angle and moved forward to the filling area to wait for the material to be filled.
In addition, after filling materials and other accessories in the filling area, the relevant devices will push the box into the left and right rails, and then cover the box. It is worth noting that before the box is covered, the machine will first bend the tab of the paper box, and then a push plate will push the box cover to bend, so that the tab is inserted into the box and the lock catch is fastened. The cover box action is a very critical action, and the quality of completion is closely related to the carton structure and the accuracy of machine adjustment. Otherwise, the improper action of the cover box will directly affect the packing effect.
Finally, when the food and instructions are accurately pushed into the box, the carton will continue to move forward driven by the box moving chain. After that, the steel characters will be printed by the batch number printing device before entering the capping process. It should be noted that the outlet conveyor belt is equipped with a "problem product" removal device, which can remove all the products with problems detected in the previous food unloading, opening, filling and other processes, so as to better ensure that the food packaging boxes meet the process needs and are all qualified products.
It is undeniable that the automatic cartoning machine not only improves the efficiency of cartoning, saves the cost of manual cartoning for enterprises, but also reduces the error rate of product cartoning to a certain extent, and ensures the quality of cartoning. However, users should deal with the existing problems in a timely manner during the operation process, and should also be familiar with the workflow of the automatic cartoning machine to ensure the normal operation of the automatic cartoning production line.
