How to choose quantitative packaging and palletizing for a microbiological agent factory

In microbial agent factories, quantitative packaging and palletizing are key links in the production line, directly affecting production efficiency, packaging accuracy and logistics costs. The following is a detailed guide for purchasing a quantitative packaging palletizing system, covering technical points, equipment selection and precautions:

I. Key Points for Purchasing a Quantitative Packaging System

1. Clarify packaging requirements

Material characteristics:

The form of the bacterial agent (powder, granules, liquid) determines the type of packaging machine (such as screw metering, liquid filling, weighing type).

Fluidity, corrosiveness, and whether it is hygroscopic (moisture-proof packaging materials are required).

Packaging specifications: Common specifications (such as 1kg, 5kg, 25kg bags), and quick switching is required.

Production capacity requirements: such as 200 to 500 bags per hour, determine the speed level of the equipment.

2. Selection of packaging machine type

Weighing packaging machine (high precision) : Applicable to powder/granules, dynamic weighing accuracy ±0.1% to 0.3% (for example, 25kg bag error ≤25g).

Liquid filling machine: It is selected when the bacterial agent is in liquid form and requires anti-corrosion materials (such as 316L stainless steel).

3. Key Function configuration

Automation control: PLC+ touch screen, supporting formula storage and counting alarm.

Feeding system: Vibrating hopper or vacuum feeder to prevent the stratification of bacterial agents.

Ii. Key Points for Purchasing an Automatic Palletizing System

1. Palletizing demand analysis

Stack type specification: For example, 4 bags per layer, 5 layers high, with a total weight of 1 ton.

Pallet type: Wooden/plastic pallet size (such as 1200×1000mm).

Rhythm requirement: such as 10 to 15 stacks per hour, matching the packaging line speed.

2. Selection of palletizing machine type

Robot palletizing (with strong flexibility)

It is suitable for multi-specification and small-batch production, such as ABB/FANU six-axis robots, with a load capacity of 50 to 200 kilograms.

It can be combined with visual positioning to correct the deviation of bag packaging position.

Mechanical palletizer (high-speed and stable) :

Suitable for single stack type and large quantities (such as 200 to 300 bags per hour).

It has a simple structure and low maintenance cost.

3. Key Configuration

End effectors: Plate type (universal), vacuum suction cup (flat bagged), gripper type (irregular packaging).

Safety protection: Grating + emergency stop button, in compliance with ISO13849 standard.

Pallet warehouse: Automatic pallet supply machine (labor-saving), capacity 20 to 50 pallets.

Iii. System Integration and Supplier Evaluation

Integrated solution

Interlocking control: The entire line from packaging machine to conveyor belt to palletizing machine is fully automated, reducing manual intervention.

Data intercommunication: MES system integration, recording batch, weight, and stack type information.

2. Supplier Evaluation

Technical capabilities: Provide cases of similar microbial agent factories (such as in the bio-fertilizer and feed additive industries).

Support on-site machine testing (to test the actual packaging accuracy).

After-sales service: Warranty period (≥2 years), spare parts supply speed (such as within 72 hours).

Iv. Budget and Return on Investment

Cost range:

Quantitative packaging single machine: 100,000-500,000 yuan (depending on accuracy and speed).

Palletizing system: 200,000 to 1,000,000 yuan (the robot solution is higher).

ROI calculation: Taking the replacement of 5 workers as an example, it saves about 250,000 yuan in labor costs annually, with a payback period of 1 to 3 years.

Through the above steps, it can be ensured that the selected system not only meets the special requirements of microbial agent production but also achieves efficient and precise automated operations.
