New Mode To Refresh The Packaging Efficiency Of Women's Hygiene Products

The speed of production of nursing products is fast and staggering. In just one minute, 3000 products will be produced from the production line. In order to maximize the capacity, products should be shunted in the packaging process. To this end, the Optima nonwovens department provides two systems. They have their own characteristics.

The related solutions are Splitter and Multiple Discharge Stacker. Two systems receive sanitary napkins or pad products from production line online (Note 1).

The way of setting the feed direction is that the product flow can be diverted to different directions through adjustable tab.

The reason for this development is the rapid upgrading of the production line. Until a few years ago, this growth was also reflected in the packaging system made up of stacker and bagging machine. But at the same time, the packaging machine's ability to deal with products is approaching physical limits. Coupled with the trend of small packaging, the efficiency of the production line is reduced. Process stability is always the top priority - the mere theoretical maximum capacity is meaningless.

Therefore, it is time to think about the new packaging solution, and to continue to give full play to the potential of the production line in the packaging process. In view of this, the Optima nonwovens Department has begun to develop two dedicated systems.

Different characteristics

The two solutions are different from the "Lane separation system" and "multiway stacking system".

The separation system is mainly used in the first step of packaging process, and its task is to divert products to different directions. Picks ("Flipper") setting mode: the product can be distributed alternately in different directions. For example, you can deliver products according to five straight lines and three pieces to the right, then follow the cycle. After the separation, there are two complete packaging systems, which are made up of stacker and bagging machine respectively.

The products will continue to be delivered to second stacker workstations. Similar to the lane separation system, the multi pass stacking system can also produce different packaging specifications at the same time.

Another option is the multi pass stacker: the product goes directly to a special stacker. This stacker is characterized by two (or three) integrated discharge units. Through these discharge units, two independent bagging machines can be started (third discharging units for product testing or manual packaging). The program can also customize the number of slices per time (Note 2).

Therefore, the layout of the entire packaging system looks like the letter "H" from the top. The packer is parallel to each other. This is one of the key elements of the comparison between the two systems. In addition, there are other system differences between the two schemes.

The machine frame is equipped with two stacking machines: compared with the shunt solution, the investment cost of the multi pass stacking system is low.

Flexible, ergonomic design and rational layout: there are many advantages in the packaging of the distribution system. This is a better way to see the spatial situation and operation process. The layout can achieve the form of "T" and "H". This is also easy to approach the equipment area, which is conducive to rational layout and ergonomics. If it can be adjacent to the conveying unit of the bagging machine, a worker can operate the whole equipment.

One

Land occupation demand: the two systems have different land occupation requirements, and ultimately depend on the customer's actual situation.

Two

Operation and maintenance: compared with the multi-path stacking system, the operation and maintenance of the lane separation system is more complicated. The multiway stacking system is comparable to the one way packaging line. Therefore, operation and maintenance are very simple.

Three

Flexible specifications - processing different number of chips at the same time: for the use of the solution of the shunt system, it can arrange the quantity as flexible as the independent packaging system, and can produce the smallest and the largest number of packages simultaneously. There are some limitations in the multi pass stacking system, and sometimes it is not possible to produce all the chips simultaneously. (in a multi pass stacking machine, a discharge unit can move sideways: the distance between the discharge units matches the number of packages per package, and the combination analysis is carried out. For details, please consult Optima nonwovens department.

Four

Specifications change I - change the number of packages: when the number of packages is changed, the processing of the two systems is different. The same thing is that when a packaging machine is in production, it will replace the other packaging machine. However, the multi pass stacking system should be stopped for a short time so as to reset the stacker and replace the specifications. And no need to stop production can change the number of pieces of the solution of the obvious advantages, which is ultimately reflected in the operation cost.

Five

Specifications change II - products of different thickness: the lane separation system has a slight advantage in this respect. Compared to the multi pass stacking scheme, the overall length of the single stacker leaf chain is longer, and the two stacker blade chain of the split system can be adjusted more quickly.

Six

Process stability when components fail: this depends on specific circumstances. The problem of upstream system always causes subsequent component downtime. This means that if the multi pass stacking system fails, the two bagging machines will not work. This applies to the lane separation system as well. If there is an error in the lane system, the whole system will stop functioning. However, if a stacker or bagging machine fails or needs maintenance, the second processing lines can still be produced in the solution of the shunt system. In the multi - outlet stacking machine solution, if a bagging machine fails, it can also use second bagging machines to continue production.

Seven

Maximum capacity: in the use of the shunt system, the packaging speed can be as high as 280 bales / min (2 x 140 packet / min). In the multi pass stacking system, the packaging speed can reach 200 packs per minute (2 x 100 packet / min). Comparing the product rate of receiving line, the difference is more obvious. The separation solution can receive 3000 products per minute, while the multiway stacking system is up to 1600. The main reason is that the chain of leaf plates is heavier. Therefore, there is a clear advantage in the capacity of the split solution, but ultimately the productivity of the production line must be reasonably and efficiently synchronized (all the performance data depends on the packaging materials, packaging dimensions and product specifications).

Eight

Investment cost: the advantage of the multi pass stacking system is obvious in terms of purchase cost. The reason is to save the cost of the lane system or second stacker.

Nine

Operation cost: modular design is adopted in the two systems. Therefore, in practice, machine configuration can be adjusted according to individual needs.

The company will evaluate the technical level, potential and cost performance of each device. The decisive factor is that manufacturers of sanitary products can choose the best mode of production operation. The lane separation system and the multi pass stacking system provide special gain for this purpose.
