Water Soluble Film Packaging Machine is a type of packaging machinery that can be used to pack different types of products. These machines are usually designed for packing granules, such as agricultural pesticides. They are also easy to use and can improve the work efficiency of a company.
Components for inclusion in edible water-soluble films can include those designated as Generally Recognized As Safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration and/or components with assigned, allowable E-numbers.
Modular design
The modular design of the Water Soluble Film Packaging Machine makes it easy to use, even for a beginner. The machine comes with a user-friendly interface, and the components are made from high-quality materials to stand up to wear and tear. The machine also offers accurate measuring to get excellent packing results.
The market for water-soluble films is driven by increased demand for convenience food items. The growing pharmaceutical industry has also led to a higher demand for water-soluble films. These are used in the unit-dose packaging of agrochemicals, detergents, water treatment chemicals, and dyes. The market is also expanding in developing countries, where there are strict restrictions on non-biodegradable plastic bags.
The GEA PowerPak thermoforming packaging machine is a modular design, offering flexibility and a quick turnaround time for production. It can produce MAP, skin, and vacuum packs, and has the ability to handle a variety of shapes and sizes. The machine is also designed with an early-warning system that detects faulty machines and sends maintenance alerts, saving production downtime.
Eco-friendly
The global focus on sustainability and plastic pollution have led to an increase in demand for eco-friendly packaging. Many businesses are now using water-soluble film to package their products and help reduce their environmental impact. This type of packaging is more affordable than traditional plastics, and it can be discarded without worrying about the environment.
Another benefit of this type of packaging is that it is made from biodegradable materials. It also does not require any special disposal methods, and it completely disintegrates in the water. It is also much safer for the environment than regular plastics, which can be toxic and cause harm to the ecosystem.
Research and development initiatives continue to drive notable technological advances in water-soluble film. This includes improved film strength, barrier properties, and dissolution characteristics. This evolution is enabling a wider range of industries to adopt this innovative packaging solution. For example, concrete additive manufacturers are using it to make their products easier to dose.
Robust
The water-soluble film packaging machine uses a high-performance plasticizer to seal the packaged product. The plasticizer is a sugar alcohol such as isomalt, maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, or pentaerythritol. These are a non-toxic alternative to plasticizers such as phthalates and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
The sealed product is then transported from the machine to a collection bin or conveyor. The products are then sorted, and organized for distribution. Modern machines are highly efficient and produce thousands of packages per day. They also have an early warning system that sends maintenance alerts before major breakdowns occur.
The water-soluble film packaging machine can be used to package a variety of products, including agricultural chemicals, concrete additives, and construction materials. It can also be used for packaging foods and personal care products. The machine uses a continuous feeding mechanism and a sealing solution to seal the product in a multi-compartment pouch. The second layer of the pouch is then sealed to a first, preformed water-soluble film.
Flexible
Changing consumer preference and environmental concerns are driving the market for water-soluble film packaging. Companies are focusing on developing products that offer the same functionalities as conventional packaging but have better environmental performance. They also provide cost benefits, such as lower R&D and production costs.
The water-soluble film machine uses a flexible film to create pouches and sticks that are designed to dissolve in water. These machines can work vertically (vertical form fill seal or VFFS) or horizontally (horizontal film fill seal or HFFS). Some machines use a large roll of film wound around a core, while others take already-formed bags from a container.
