The development of automation technology promotes the development of packaging technology. Now automatic packaging machines have been widely used, especially in food, chemical, medical, hardware accessories and other industries. At present, common automatic packaging machines can be divided into vertical and pillow type, so what is the difference between these two types of automatic packaging machines?
Vertical packaging machine

The vertical packaging machine has a small footprint and a high degree of automation. The rolls of small vertical packaging machines are usually located at the upper end of the front, and the rolls of other vertical packaging machines are placed at the upper end of the back. Then, the roll material is made into a packaging bag by a bag maker, and then the materials are filled, sealed, and conveyed.
Vertical packaging machine can be divided into two kinds of self-made bags and bags. The bag feeding method is that the existing pre-made packaging bags are placed in the bag setting area, and the processes of opening, blowing, metering, sealing, printing, etc. are completed in this order by horizontal bag feeding. The difference between the self-made bag type and the bag-feeding type is that the self-made bag type needs to automatically complete the roll forming or film forming bag making process, and this process is basically completed by a horizontal form.
Pillow type packaging machine

The pillow type packaging machine has a large floor area and a slightly low degree of automation. Its feature is to put the packaging material into the horizontal conveying mechanism and send it to the roll or film inlet. (At this time, the roll or film has a cylindrical shape through the bag maker, and the packaged goods will enter the cylindrical packaging material. ), And then run synchronously, and then go through the steps of heat sealing, air extraction (vacuum packaging) or air supply (inflatable packaging), cutting.
Pillow type packaging machine is more suitable for single or multiple integrated materials such as bread, biscuits, instant noodles, etc. Vertical packaging machines are mostly used for powder, liquid and granular materials.
