Thermoforming packaging machine is automatic packaging equipment that blows or vacuums the stretchable plastic film roll under heating to form a packaging container of a specific shape, and then material filling and sealing. It integrates the processes of thermoforming, material filling (quantitative), vacuuming, (inflating), sealing, and cutting, which greatly saves the cost of enterprise manpower and time.
Many factors are affecting the production capacity of thermoforming machines, mainly from the following aspects:
1.Film thickness
According to the thickness of the film roll (bottom film) used, we divide them into rigid film (250μ- 1500μ) and flexible film (60μ- 250μ). Due to the different thicknesses of the film, the requirements for forming are also different. The rigid film forming will have one more preheating process than the flexible film.
2.Box size
The size, especially the shallower the box, means the shorter the forming time, the fewer auxiliary procedures are required, and correspondingly the overall packaging process is shorter.
3.Vacuum and inflation requirements
If the packaging needs to be vacuumed and inflated, it will also affect the speed of the machine. The packaging of only sealed will be 1-2 times per minute faster than the packaging that needs to be vacuumed and inflated. At the same time, the size of the vacuum pump will also affect the vacuuming time, thus affecting machine speed.
4.Production requirements
In general, mold size also affects machine speed. Larger machines will have higher output but may be slower than smaller machines in terms of speed.
In addition to the above main factors, the most critical is technology. At present, there are many manufacturers of stretch film packaging machines on the market, but the quality is uneven. After years of continuous learning, research and development, and experiments, the speed of such packaging machines produced by Utien Pack can reach 6-8 times per minute for rigid film and 7-9 times per minute for the flexible film.
