How to choose a food packaging machine wisely?

Faster, higher, stronger, is the slogan of the Olympic Games. And in social production, what we want to achieve is: faster, lower and better. Improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and produce better products, so enterprises can be competitive among the peers. And packaging, as the last process of the product leaving the factory, also needs to be fast and good. Along with this, the degree of mechanization in the packaging process is also increasing. Choosing a good packaging machine has become the top priority of many food manufacturers.

 

Choose the cheapest?

Cost is the always the primary consideration in our purchases. Of course, low cost is good, but cheap is often not good in the long term. As an old Chinese saying goes, you get what you pay. Machines are sold cheaply, which means that the cost of making machines must be compressed. Rough materials, sloppy workmanship, and cutting corners are all unavoidable. For customers who use machines, follow-up problems will continue to arise. The packaging process might be unstable and will affect the entire production efficiency. Frequent failures of packaging machines can lead to increased maintenance costs as more time and efforts are required to solve the problems.

 

Choose a top brand?

Indeed, the packaging machines produced by major international brands are of good quality and high stability. However, the time cost and labor cost of the initial investment are also high. Machines of big brands are naturally expensive. Under the same performance, the price is 3 to 5 times more expensive than ordinary manufacturers. In addition, the personnel structure of big brands is complex. When encountering problems, they need to find people from different departments to coordinate and deal with them, which is very energy-consuming.

The cost of wearable accessories are also higher than common suppliers. Moreover, affected by the pandemic, many foreign manufacturers have very long delivery times, and there are many unstable factors. So comprehensively considered, packaging machines of big brands are not so ideal, especially for newly established or some small and medium-sized companies.

Choose the most cost-effective one?

It’s a natural hope to buy the best product with the least money. Therefore, the cost performance of the packaging machine is one of the most important considerations. As we know, s good knife comes from the hand of a skilled craftsman. Therefore, the manufacturer of the packaging machine must be reliable. Before buying a machine, you should make a field trip to understand the qualifications of the packaging machine suppliers, see their actual production capacity, and observe their production process. The integrity of the machine manufacturer is just as important as their technology. Besides, we need compare the performance of various packaging machines before decisions. It’s crucial to understand the scope of application of the machine, various functions, and various parameters. Among them, the packaging machines with high stability, good safety, comprehensive functions and high-end design are the most selective.
