At present, domestic pharmaceutical enterprises, as long as they produce traditional Chinese medicines, generally have granule forms, and a few have powder dispersible forms. There are numerous packaging machines produced domestically, and when comparing in terms of functions, configurations, and other aspects, there are significant differences. Choosing the appropriate granule or powder packaging machine for the enterprise is crucial for production output and packaging quality.
Currently, domestic packaging machines are classified by sealing methods into clamp-type and roller-type. By production capacity, they are divided into single-column machines and multi-column machines. By film conveying methods, they are classified into vertical machines and horizontal machines. Currently, the main forms of small-bag packaging are: three-side sealing, four-side sealing, and back sealing.
The characteristics of various types of machines will be described separately below:
Clamp-type vertical single-column packaging machine: intermittent sealing, volumetric metering, filling and discharging, clamp sealing, the machine is relatively small, the operation is simple, but the service life is shorter. Different manufacturers, brands, configurations, and prices vary. Currently, the prices range from 0.800,000 to 1.600,000 yuan.
Single-column roller-type packaging machine: compared with the clamp-type, it has continuous sealing, a beautiful packaging appearance, and the speed is generally 40 to 90 bags per minute (depending on different materials and packaging sizes). The current prices range from 20,000 to 60,000 yuan, and the configuration varies, with different manufacturers and brands, and the prices vary greatly. Compared with the clamp-type machine, this type of packaging machine requires operators to have certain capabilities, and the requirements for after-sales service and maintenance are also relatively higher.
Multi-column packaging machine: From previous national pharmaceutical machinery exhibitions, it can be seen that there are more and more domestic manufacturers of multi-column packaging machines, and the product grades vary greatly, with prices ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 yuan. The main differences in price lie in the configuration, appearance, and materials used. If you want to purchase a multi-column machine, it is recommended to choose a machine with better quality, although it requires an initial investment of several tens of thousands of yuan, it ensures the stable operation in the future.
