• Sustainability Focus: Designs consider energy efficiency, waste reduction, and material optimization, aligning with the strong environmental consciousness of these markets.

Core Processing Technologies for Our Packaging Lines
Our packaging lines are built upon the precise integration and orchestration of several key processing technologies, ensuring a continuous, efficient, and high-quality flow from start to finish:
1. Container Handling & Feeding
This foundational stage ensures the smooth and oriented delivery of containers to the line.

• Unscrambling & Orienting: We use bottle unscramblers, cup unscramblers, or tray denesters to automatically sort, align, and feed empty containers onto the conveyor system from bulk. This involves precise mechanical or air-based systems to handle various container shapes and sizes gently and efficiently.
• Conveying: We employ various conveying units (belt conveyors, slat conveyors, air conveyors, puck systems) to transport containers smoothly and precisely between different processing stations. The key here is maintaining stability, preventing jams, and synchronizing speeds across the line.

2. Product Filling
This is the critical step where the product is accurately dispensed into the container.

• Volumetric Filling: We use piston, flow meter, or time/pressure methods for liquids and semi-liquids, ensuring high precision and consistency.
• Gravimetric Filling: We weigh the product directly into the container for ultimate accuracy, especially for high-value goods.
• Specialized Filling: We incorporate aseptic filling for sterile products, or vacuum/nitrogen flushing for oxygen-sensitive items to extend shelf life and preserve quality.

• Integration Focus: The filling machine is the heart, precisely paced and synchronized with both upstream container feeding and downstream capping.

3. Capping & Sealing
This stage secures the container to protect the product and provide tamper evidence.

• Screw Capping: We apply threaded caps with precise torque control using mechanical or servo-driven chucks.
• Press-On/Snap-On Capping: We securely fit non-threaded caps by pressure.
• ROPP Capping: We form threads and tamper-evident bands on aluminum caps.
• Induction Sealing: We create a hermetic, tamper-evident seal using electromagnetic induction.
• Heat Sealing: We seal film or foil lids onto cups/trays with heat and pressure.

• Integration Focus: Capping/sealing units must perfectly match the speed and container handling of the filler, ensuring no spills or misaligned closures.

4. Labeling & Coding
This adds essential product information, branding, and traceability data.

• Sticker/Pressure-Sensitive Labeling: We apply self-adhesive labels to various container surfaces (front/back, wrap-around, top/bottom) with high precision.
• Sleeve Shrink Labeling: We apply full-body or partial-body sleeves that conform to the container shape when heat is applied, offering 360-degree branding and tamper evidence.
• Printing & Coding: We integrate inkjet, laser, or thermal transfer printers for applying date codes, batch numbers, barcodes, and serialization data directly onto containers or labels.

• Integration Focus: Labelers are strategically placed for optimal application after filling and capping, often with vision systems for quality control. Coders ensure legal and traceability requirements are met.

5. Secondary & Tertiary Packaging
This prepares individual units for distribution and retail.

• Cartoning/Case Packing: We automatically load individual products or primary packages into cartons or cases. This can involve robotic pick-and-place systems or continuous motion cartoners/case packers.
• Bundling/Multipacking: We group multiple primary packages together (e.g., shrink wrapping multi-packs of beverages).
• Palletizing: We automatically stack filled and cased products onto pallets for efficient storage and shipping, often using robotic or conventional palletizers.

• Integration Focus: These end-of-line processes are crucial for logistics and retail readiness, requiring robust automation and synchronization with the preceding packaging steps.

6. Quality Control & Inspection
This ensures consistent product quality and line efficiency at every stage.

• Vision Systems: We integrate cameras to inspect fill levels, cap presence/alignment, label placement/quality, print legibility, and foreign object detection.
• Checkweighers: We use in-line scales to verify the weight of filled or packaged products, rejecting under- or overweight items.
• Metal Detectors: This ensures no metallic contaminants are present in the final product.
• Reject Systems: We use automated mechanisms to remove non-conforming products from the line without interrupting the flow.

• Integration Focus: QC checkpoints are strategically positioned throughout the line to ensure real-time feedback and minimize waste.

7. Centralized Control & Automation
This is the brain of the entire packaging line.

• Integrated PLC & HMI Systems: A central control system (PLC) manages all interconnected machines, while an intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI) provides a single point of control, monitoring, and fault diagnosis for the entire line.
• Line Synchronization: Advanced control algorithms ensure all machines operate in perfect harmony, adjusting speeds dynamically to optimize throughput and prevent jams.
• Data Acquisition & OEE Monitoring: This collects real-time data on production rates, downtime, waste, and energy consumption, allowing for comprehensive OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) analysis and continuous improvement.

Introduction：This kind of machine is mainly use for producing food packaging and disposable tableware. Use virgin pulp as the material, the virgin pulp can be sugarcane pulp, bamboo pulp, wheat straw pulp, wood pulp and other fiber plant pulp. There is no plastic and pollution during the production process, so the finished product are biodegradable and 100% recycle. To meet different production requirements, such as capacity, product angle and height, we mainly have 3 types of forming machine for selection, they are BY series forming machine, YC series forming machine and YDQ series forming machine. Except the fully automatic machine, we also have semi automatic machine for small capacity.
