1.What is shrink packaging VS vacuum packaging?

At the first part,we need to resolve the basic problem,what is shrink packaging and what is vacuum packaging,in other words,what are the definitions of them.

Shrink Packaging

Shrink packaging is to wrap product with a plastic film which is accord with the size of it,then begin the operation of heat-sealing,under the influence of the heat,plastic film is shrinking constantly until it fit tightly to the surface of product.

Shrink packaging originated in the mid-1960s and developed rapidly in the 1970s,it is widely used by some economically developed countries.

Vacuum Packaging

Distinct from shrink packaging,vacuum packaging is to extract the air from the container of product,to make it under a low-oxygen condition in which microorganism can not survival and reproduce.

The appearance of vacuum packaging is earlier than shrink packaging,it first appears in the 1940s,and after 1950s,it has developed in a fast speed.

2.What are the effects of shrink packaging VS vacuum packaging?

In the basic case,the purpose of shrink packaging and vacuum packaging is to storage products for longer time,and besides,they also have other effects,which are as follows:

Effects of Shrink Packaging

Moistureproof and Waterproof

Because of the leakproofness of shrink packaging,you can ensure that there is no moisture inside the packaging film,therefore,shrink packaging is moistureproof and waterproof.

Anti-pollution

Through shrink packaging,the products are sealed in plastic films so they will not contact with dust in the air or other environmental elements,as a result,shrink packaging achieves the function of anti-pollution.

Avoid Shock

In fact,when the product is stuck, the plastic film which is wrapped around it can plays a role in buffer,protects the product to a certain degree.Moreover,if the product which is shrink packaged is a fragile object,the film can prevent splashes when the product is broken.

Effects of Vacuum Packaging

Prevent food oxidation

Sometimes,there are some fatty foods,they contain a lot of unsaturated fatty acids,which are easy to influenced by oxygen and come to oxidation.Vacuum packaging extract the air,so it can effectively avoid food oxidation.

Prevent Pollution

The reason why vacuum packaging can prevent products from pollution is that,by using vacuum packaging,the products is wrapped in the packaging pouch and don’t touch outside environment,so possible pollution is avoided.

Keep a Good Appearance

The same as others,principle of this is also because vacuum packaging can keep food in a low oxygen condition,which inhibits the survival and reproduce of the microorganism,so that the food can keep in a original appearance.

Crush Resistance

During the vacuum packaging,after extracting the air, there are other gases filled into packaging pouch,then the air pressure in the pouch is greater than the air pressure outside the pouch, which can effectively prevent the crushing deformation of the food and does not affect the appearance of the pouch.

3.How many types of shrinking films and vacuum packaging pouches there are?

In general,there are different types of shrinking films and vacuum packaging pouches,which are made of different materials and are adapted to different products.

Shrinking Films

PE Film

This kind of film is suitable for wine, cans, mineral water, all kinds of beverages, cloth and other products of the whole collection packaging,it takes advantages of flexibility and tear resistance ability.

In addition,the PE film is hard to be damaged and the shrinking percentage of it is high.

PVC Film

The PVC film has features of high transparency,high glossy and high shrinking percentage.

POF Film

POF refers to multi-layer co-extruded polyolefin thermal shrinkage film,it has high surface gloss, good toughness, high tear strength, uniform thermal shrinkage.

OPS Film

OPS film is type of shrinking film which is standard to the environmental protect requirements,it has high strength, high rigidity, stable shape, and has good gloss and transparency.And the OPS film is convenient in processing,coloring and printing.

Pet Heat-shrinkable Polyester Film

This film is stable under normal temperature,but while the temperature up to glass transition temperature,it starts to shrink.It has many advantages,and the most special one is that there is no renaturation of it, which makes it has a certain anti-counterfeiting function.

Vacuum Packaging Pouches

Aluminum Foil Vacuum Pouch

The material of this vacuum pouch is generally PET/AL/CPE or PET/NY/AL/CPE,This product has good performances such as anti-static, oxygen, shielding, moisture-proof, shading function and excellent heat sealing.

Aluminum foil vacuum pouch is widely used in food, electronics, chemical and other industries. Because the raw material of aluminum foil itself is expensive, the cost of vacuum will be relatively high.

Nylon Co-extrusion Vacuum Pouch

Nylon co-extrusion vacuum pouch is made of PA, EVOH and PE, PP, TIE and other resins.It has the characteristics of pollution-free, high barrier,low cost, small capacity ratio, high strength, flexible structure and so on,and it makes the production process of food packaging materials realize pollution-free.

Nylon Composite Vacuum Pouch

The material of nylon composite vacuum pouch is similar to nylon co-extrusion vacuum pouch,the difference between them is the technology,the composite pouch is made up of multiple layers of materials.

PE Vacuum Pouch

PE vacuum pouch is the most widely used vacuum pouch in the market because the price is cheap,that is,high cost performance.But,it has disadvantages of high breathability and low leakproofness,as a result,it’s easier to be broken.

4.What are the pros and cons of shrink packaging VS vacuum packaging?

Certainly,nothing in the world is perfect,both the two packaging methods have their own pros and cons,which will be explained in detail to the below.

Pros of Shrink Packaging

Adaptable

As is mentioned above,shrink packaging to heat the film which is cover around the product,then it is wrapped tightly to the products,so that it is adapted to products of various shapes and sizes.

Transparency

The film which is around the product is transparent,so people can directly see the appearance of the product,which is convenient for purchase.

Stable

The close and tight contact between the film and the product can increase the stability of the product,prevent it from moving position.

Save Labor

Both the packaging technology and packaging equipment of shrink packaging are simple,which makes it convenient for shrink packaging realizes automatically production,save the investment of labor.

Cons of Shrink Packaging

Can Not Be Recycled

One of the cons of shrink packaging is that it is hard to recycle,as the shrink packaging is to tightly wrap the product itself,the recovery rate is relevantly reduced.

Not suitable For Heat Sensitive Products

If there are some heat sensitive products,shrink packaging is not appropriate for them.So,in fact,shrink packaging isn’t suitable for all kinds of products.

Energy Consumption

In addition,the precondition of shrink packaging is heat,to reach the required temperature,there is much energy that consumed.

Pros of Vacuum Packaging

Retain the Original Taste

Vacuum packaging can make sure that food is sealed in packaging pouch,it will not contact with air,so it can keep the same condition as when it is packaged.As a result,the taste of food is also retained.

Save Space

Vacuum Packaged products are compact and organized,when you put them into your refrigerator or other places,they will not occupy too much space,in other word,vacuum packaging can save your space.

Reduce Cost

By the way,vacuum packaging can reduce the cost which you spend in packaging food or other products because its packaging procedure and raw material are simple.

Convenient

Similar to the last point,the whole operation process of vacuum packaging is more simple than shrink packaging,it doesn’t have so many complex procedure,so vacuum packaging is convenient.

Cons of Vacuum Packaging

Not Environmental Friendly

Generally,vacuum packaging uses disposable packaging pouches,which are unfriendly to the natural environment.

Easy to be Affected by Temperature

Although vacuum packaging can lengthen the shelf life of food,it often thanks to the help of refrigerator,if food is exposed to the high temperature condition,it still be affected.

Not Adapt to Liquid

There are a few kinds of liquid such as beverage and milk can be vacuum packaged,but when it comes to soup or congee,it seems not so convenient to operate.

5.What is the application range of shrink packaging VS vacuum packaging?

Even if both shrink packaging and vacuum packaging are suitable for many fields,they also have their own applications.

Application Range of Shrink Packaging

Food Industry

Shrink packaging is always used to package food,you will find shrink packaged food in supermarket,fruit store,bread store and so on.

Beverage Industry

The application range of shrink packaging in beverage industry is also wide,shrink packaging can make the packaging film fit the beverage product perfectly,so it is widely used in beverage industry.

Medicine Industry

Furthermore,shrink packaging is also used in pharmaceutical industry,the outside package films of medicine bottles and medicine cases are shrink packaged.

Commodity Industry

Actually,shrink packaging is also used in commodity industry,such as shampoo,shower gel,facial cleanser,toothpaste, detergents and so many other commodities.

Stationery Industry

And,stationery can also be shrink packaged,for instance,look at the picture,the notebook uses shrink packaging.

Express Transportation Industry

If you always shop online,this is not strange to you,sometimes,the carton package that you receive will also have a shrink film on the outside,this can reduce some shock to the cartons.

Cosmetic Industry

Maybe ladies are not unfamiliar with this,generally,cosmetic or skin care products all have a layer of plastic film packaging to cover their packaging cases.

Application Range of Vacuum Packaging

Food Industry

The most basic application of vacuum packaging is the food field,you can say that it is mostly widely used in this industry.Vacuum packaging is used to pack meat,vegetables,fruit,snacks,etc.

Medicine Industry

Vacuum packaging is also widely used in medicine industry,its function is to protect drugs from environmental affects,keep the property of drugs and lengthen the shelf life of medicines.

Electronic Component Industry

Vacuum packaging applied in electronic components industry,to prevent the components from being damaged by statics.

The all above is the main applications of shrink packaging and vacuum packaging,of course that these are not the whole application range,the applications of shrink packaging and vacuum packaging is large more common than you can image.

6.What is the working principle of shrink packaging VS vacuum packaging?

After reading the all above content,I believe that you have a general understand of the two packaging methods,the next part is to tell you the working principle of them.

Working Principle of Shrink Packaging

In detail,the working principle of shrink packaging is that,heating the shrinking film at a high temperature, the irregular arrangement of atoms has undergone drastic changes.

Then under the use of infrared radiation light, plastic molecules move again, the arrangement changes, so that through atomic rearrangement, resulting in a large reduction of the area of the film.

In this way, it can more closely fit the finished products to be packaged and processed by the manufacturer, that is the working principle of shrink packaging.

Working Principle of Vacuum Packaging

The working principle of vacuum packaging is simple,it solves the problem from the origin.At first,you need to consider,why does food go bad?The chief culprit is microorganism,it is because of the survival of microorganism that the food would be mildewed,however,what if microorganism disappears?

Vacuum packaging achieves this,the survival of microorganism depends on oxygen,so we extract the oxygen of the packaging pouch,means that the microorganism loose its survival condition,it can not survive and multiply,so the function of vacuum packaging is realized.

7.What is the technologicalprocess of shrink packaging VS vacuum packaging?

Besides the working principles,you also need to know the technological process of shrink packaging and vacuum packaging,that is,how does a shrink package or vacuum package create.

Technological Process of Shrink Packaging

There are two types of shrink packaging method:manual shrink packaging and mechanical shrink packaging.

If you choose manual shrink packaging,you need to wrap the product with film by hand,and then use heater blower gun to blow hot air on the product to complete the shrink packaging process,but this method consumes too much time and energy,so it just suitable for family needs.

On the contrary,the mechanical shrink packaging is to assist the help of shrink packing machines,process of this shrink packaging method is also simple,just divided to two steps:wrap in advance and heat shrink.

The first step,you need to wrap the products with plastic film,and leave the necessary seam for the heat shrink step.And then is the next step,put the wrapped products on the heat shrinking equipment,when the heating starts,the film begins to shrink until it closely fit the product.

Technological Process of Vacuum Packaging

Vacuum packaging needs to use vacuum packaging machines,although there are many types of vacuum packaging machines,their working process is similar.The whole packaging process can be divided into three parts:extracting out air,filling into other gases,hot-sealing.

At the beginning,put product into the chamber of vacuum packaging machine,then the machine start work,extract the air of the packaging pouch until the vacuum index in the pouch is up to requirement.

After this step,the machine fills other gases such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, rare gas and other single gas or a mixture of two or three gases into the packaging pouch,to guarantee that the pouch is under the positive pressure,which makes the product hard to be damaged.

The final step is hot-sealing,the chamber inflates and the hot pressure frame presses the mouth of packaging pouch to complete the hot-sealing operation.Until now,vacuum packaging process is finished.

8.What are the similarities of shrink Packaging VS vacuum packaging?

Even though shrink packaging and vacuum packaging are two different type of packaging methods,they also have some similarities,which are to the below:

Transparency

In common,either shrink packaging or vacuum packaging uses transparent films or pouches to package products,this is one of their similarities.

Heat-sealing

During the packaging process,both shrink packaging and vacuum packaging have a heat-sealing step to ensure the products are sealed into the package.

Neat Packaged Appearances

Moreover,products which are shrink packaged or vacuum packaged all kept in a good and neat appearance,they looked compact,clean,exquisite and beautiful.

Widely Used in Food Packaging

The most similar point of shrink packaging and vacuum packaging is that both of them are widely used in food packaging field because they can make food keep fresh.

9.What are the differences between shrink packaging and vacuum packaging?

Certainly,when there are similarities,there are differences,now lets start to explore the differences between shrink packaging and vacuum packaging.

Thickness of Packaging Material

As is known,the packaging material of shrink packaging is plastic film while vacuum packaging uses packaging pouch,in many cases,the packaging pouch maybe a little thicker than plastic film.

Packaging Machine

It is mentioned a little bit in the previous article that the two packaging methods all have their own packaging machines:shrink packing machine and vacuum packaging machine,the two types of packaging machines have different function and working process.

Presence of Oxygen

The most essential difference is the presence of oxygen,shrink packaging uses high temperature to realize heat-sealing,it doesn’t affect by whether there is air,on the contrast,vacuum packaging needs low oxygen,it has a high requirement of vacuum.

That is the most obvious distinction of shrink packaging and vacuum packaging.

10.Which one is better-shrink packaging or vacuum packaging?

After reading all above text,you may find that the shrink packaging and vacuum packaging have their own advantages and disadvantages separately,you can not absolutely say which of them is better,how about just say which one is better in specific situations?

When you need to pack liquid product,it is better to put the product in proper container and use shrink packaging cause vacuum packaging isn’t suitable for all kinds of liquid products.

When you need to pack products which is in a large size,such as furnitures,cartons,or even larger objects,it seems hard to find packaging pouches in such a large size,in this case,shrink packaging is a better choice.

If you need to pack products which are sensitive to high temperature,choose vacuum packaging is better,the reason is that the process of shrink packaging is in a high-temperature condition,may cause damage to this type of products.

And there are some products which will release toxic substances when they are under high temperature,it is obviously you can not use shrink packaging to pack them,vacuum packaging is better in this situation.

Of course that there are many other situations,you need to consider the real condition,choose more proper one of the shrink packaging and vacuum packaging.

Conclusion

Totally speaking,both shrink packaging and vacuum packaging are useful and convenient for your daily life,you can choose each of them according to your actual requirement.After reading this article,if you still have some confusions,welcome to contact us.

1.What is Multifunctional Pulverizer?

A multifunctional pulverizer is a machine used to crush sawdust, waste materials from the furniture factory, wood chips, the cotton stalk, cornstalk, the beanpole, the peanut shell, wheat straw, and others. It is also called slimmer, it has various advantages as it can be used for simple material, although its operational principle is also stable, and have a good pulverizer effect. After pulverization, the crushed materials can easily be released from the crushing compartment of the multifunctional pulverizer.

During pulverization, the external forces exerted on materials, include:

Shearing

The shearing is suitable for crushing fibrous, tough materials and large stones, it has applications in coarse crushing and crushing.

Impacting

The impacting is mainly suitable for crushing brittle materials and it is usually used in crushing work.

Rolling

The rolling is used mainly for each type of material and is applied for high-fineness and ultra-fine pulverization.

Grinding

The grinding is mainly for ultra-fine and for super-large pulverization machines, which can be further pulverized.

Nevertheless, in the real crushing method, many external forces are applied at the same time. These machines are mainly customized based on high-end crushers.

2.What are the Different Types of Multifunctional Pulverizers Available on the Market?

In fact,the multifunctional pulverizers can be divided into four main types,which include tabletop pulverizer machine,portable pulverizer machine,multipurpose dry and wet pulverizer and industrial pulverizer.

Tabletop Pulverizer Machine

Tabletop pulverizer machine,as the name implies,it is designed compact and small enough to be put on tabletop,very convenient to carry and operate.It always be used to grind products such as rice,wheat,chop,millet, pepper and so on.

The working principle of this type of pulverizer is quite simple,the materials are feed into the machine through the hopper,and then be delivered into the chamber,in the chamber,the materials are repeatedly beaten by the hammer until they become smaller particles or powder.

Portable Pulverizer Machine

Portable pulverizer machine is used to pulverize materials which is sticky,it is widely used in pharmaceutical,chemical,food industries,etc.

The working principle of portable pulverizer machine is friction between different gear discs,the machine is equipped with a moveable gear disc and a fixed gear disc.Once the machine begins working,the two gear discs impact and rub with each other,under the pressure and friction,the materials are pulverized.

3.What are the Differences between Grinder and Pulverizer?

In a certain degree,the grinder and pulverizer have common function,although the two types of machine have some similarities,they also have many differences,in this part,you will figure out the differences between them and have a deeper knowledge.

In terms of the working principle,the grinder is to grind materials to small pieces by its grinding table,through constant grinding,the machine can reach its final purpose;As for the pulverizer,it is equipped with high speed rotating disc and knife,through the quick rotation of the rotating disc,the materials are constantly cut and hit,then becomes small particles or powder.
In terms of production capacity,the pulverizer has higher production capacity than the grinder because its speed is faster than that of grinder.
As for the effect,the grinder can grind materials to fine powder,the fineness of the materials which are processed by grinders is higher than the materials crushed by pulverizers.
And,the pulverizers are more versatile than grinders,pulverizers can crush more types of materials than grinders.

4.What is the Working Principle of the Multifunctional Pulverizer?

The working principle of a multifunctional pulverizer is quite easy and simple. It has a high-speed rotatable disc. Once the materials that are going to be pulverized from the multifunctional pulverizer are impacted it becomes rubbed by the discs and becomes grinds into small pieces. Then the ground materials that form, are exerted from the grinding chamber directly through the outlet of the multifunctional pulverizer components. In most cases, for the collection of ground materials, a cloth bag is used. Moreover, the fineness of the pulverized materials can be controlled by changing the screen.

5.What are the Components of a Multifunctional Pulverizer?

During the working process of the machine,if there are noise,vibration,high temperature or other problems,you need to stop the machine and check the problems at once.
During the feeding step,you need to feed materials evenly,to avoid blockage,if there occurs a blockage,the operator must not put his hands into the feed bin,or he will be hurt.
Similar to the last point,remember to stand on the side of the machine,because if the materials are ejected,may cause hurt to the operator.
When you feed materials into the feed bin,please check whether there are blade or other dangerous good which are mixed into the materials,if there are,you need to take them away.
During the whole working process of the machine,the operator need to wear mask and work cap,tighten the sleeves to avoid injury.

10.Problems and Technical Issues of Multifunctional Pulverizer?

The multifunctional pulverizer machine can cause some problems, which may be:

Blockage of inlet due to excessive load:

During the working principle of a multifunctional pulverizer machine, multiple raw materials are added simultaneously during feeding. It can cause to block the function of the multifunctional pulverizer due to its overloaded. This problem can be solved by taking care of the loading of raw materials before the pulverization process.

If the loaded material is too much large, then ultimately you need to stop feeding within a while otherwise the motor can be burned out. During taking care, one must check whether this machine is low-power or high-power, in the case of a lower-power machine the materials must feed slowly if it is a high-power machine then one must use the feeder for feeding raw materials.

After pulverization, the outlet may be blocked

Due to the long-term usage of the multifunctional pulverizer, the blade can be worn during operation. It may cause to block the outlet channel. If this happened, so the main solution is to replace or repair the blade of the equipment in time.

Clogging of the pulverizer

During its operation, the air dust and air network must match the pulverizer for proper functioning. If in some cases, it blocks then the clogging of the grinder may take place. To avoid such a problem, the regular cleaning of the multifunctional pulverizer is essential.

Type of materials

The clogging of the machine can be possible, depending on the type of materials uses. Some materials require more water content whereas some do not require water. However, some materials are large and some so small, and as a result, clogging can take place. To avoid these issues, it is essential before buying a multifunctional pulverizer, must check its size, and whether it is compatible with your desired materials or not. So, the major solution to this problem is to replace the equipment.

Other reasons

During the processing of multifunctional pulverizers, there are many other reasons than those discussed above. These reasons may include blockage of screen holes, hammer wear, and blockage caused by high moisture content. To solve such a problem, it is essential for staff to properly monitor the function of the machine and to clean it regularly.

1.What Is A Vacuum Feeding Machine?

A vacuum feeding machine is the most ideal, improved and new invention of modern technology that is employed to deliver bulk materials such as powder, granules, pellets, flakes, and many other small particles. Through dust-free close pipe it generates fast conveying process ensuring zero environmental pollution.

Moreover, its modular design enables the quick connection of vacuum loader with other bagging machine and assures the damage free flow of fragile items during transport.

2.How Does A Vacuum Feeding Machine Work?

A vacuum feeding machine works by the predetermined procedure that is sequencially explained below in detail:

The initial process starts when vacuum pump creates negative pressure inside the vacuum housing while bottom valve is closed. Through inlet modular air is sucked from the pipeline connected with feeding station which generates the airflow and ultimately starts the movement of particulate material.

The vacuumed air produces swirling motion of particles which adheres to the filters fitted upward in vacuum suction feeder and accumulates all the depositing material in separating containers/filters.

At same time, air shocks are produced by tanks each connected to a filter and completely separates the gas, dust and raw materials. When the required transport time is realized the vacuum pump switches off, the valve of hopper is opened and material is delivered to receiving vessel through the hose of hopper. The air compressor immediately cleans the filters and the same process goes on in rhythm until it is desired.

3.What Are The Key Components Of A Vacuum Feeding Machine?

Some of the major components which together form the structure of a vacuum feeding machine are mentioned below:

Vacuum Pump

It is the main part of any vacuum feeding machine which produces the false air in order to accelerate the movement of materials present in machine.

Hopper

It is the collection tank of machine with lower free flow valve for releasing load. All the material is gathered in its pure form in hopper. After completing each cycle of vacuum feeding the hose of hopper is opened to deliver bulk.

Filter System

Filters are located inside the vacuum feeding machine and are used for the processing of loaded particles. They separate material from air and removes dust and waste from them.

Air Compressor

This component of machine plays an essential role in providing neat, safe and healthy environment for goods’ processing. When the load is released from hopper air compressor quickly clean the filters with back flow pulse.

Control Device

Another core part of vacuum feeder is the control system which enables you to set the parameters like product amount, time and flow of air required for material operation. Once you have fixed the measurements, machine will take the instructions and work automatically.

Product Intake

It is the product feeding station where bulk materials are loaded before their transportation for operation. Material can be directly entrained from this plant into vacuum feeding suction.

Suction Tube

This tube is either made up of flexible plastic or stainless steel whose function is to sucked the air. Eventually the air grabs loaded material from feeding station and move it towards vacuum conveyor.

Ball Valve

It is located inside the suction tube which helps to adjust the amount of air by increasing or decreasing its level.

Transport Line

Transport line is the bridge between feeding station and actual vacuum conveyor. It consists of the vacuum-tight pipeline through which items are transferred to inlet modular of vacuum feeder.

Receiving Vessel

Receiving vessel is usually a container placed under the hopper of vacuum feeder. When the material is passed through complete procedure the contamination free products are then delivered to receiving vessel.

Wheels

An essential part which every machine requires for easy mobility is exactly the movable wheels. They are located under the machine with 360° degree movement strength.

7.Explain In Detail The Types Of A Vacuum Feeding Machine?

A vacuum feeding machine can be divided into two major types. Every vacuum feeding machine is either dilute phase or dense phase. To know both of them well look into the comprehensive details given below:

Dilute Phase Vacuum Feeding

Dilute phase feeding refers to the process of conveying particles by using high velocity and low pressure. The method of dilute phase is essentially continues due to which it is most commonly used. It needs relatively large amount of air to feed less amount of particles.

Working Principles

This method of vacuum conveying is very common and starts with the loading of powder. The powder is diluted in pipe line having low volume. The transported material looks like cloud due to high distance. After cleaning material, the vacuum feeder processes it and release for final discharge by opening the valve.

Components

The components of a dilute phase vacuum feeding machine includes pressure blowers, vacuum pump, rotary airlock valves, beam cooling, extracting valve, dust filter and bin vents, material piping, cyclone separators and storage vessel etc.

Types

Dilute phase feeding consists of two types; positive pressure feeding and negative pressure. Positive pressure operate above atmospheric pressure, having low cost and suitable for powders. Negative pressure process with air below atmospheric pressure, having high cost due to complex components and best for hazardous substances.

Advantages

This system of conveying is highly flexible and easily handle the processing of various material. It has simple operational system and is cost economical. Parts can be easily disassembled for cleaning.

Disadvantages

High velocity and air volume consume more power. Not suitable for abrasive material because the constant high speed transportation of these materials can cause pipe wear. Fragile or friable products may deformed or crushed during the process.

Application

Due to high air pressure this method is good for processing powders, non-fragile and hard products. Industries including cement, flour and chemical are taking the services of this machine.

Dense Phase Vacuum Feeding

Dense phase vacuum conveying is the process where large amount of bulk material is processed using low velocity. This method is efficient as it take dense volume of particles. Its main principle is to slow down the velocity so as to avoid the stage where material may break or degrade.

Working Principles

The process initiates after switching the machine on. The air is entered into transport line where low power of air is required to process bulk material. Mostly, it is liquidized for continuous and smooth flow. The particles are filtered and delivered to containers below the hopper.

Components

It consists of supply vessel, motive gas device,line charger, clean gas piping, filter, inlet valve, vent valve, transporter and plant air supply.

Types

Types of dense phase feeding can be divided on the basis of their function like:

The first one is fluidized dense phase which prevent the spaces between particles and good for processing material like soap powder, fly ash, limestone etc. Another one is low velocity slug flow, it is good for friable granules such as sugar, wheat, milk powder and peanuts etc. Next is extrusion flow, which convey products with pipe full of material. For feeding meat lumps for canned animal food, chopped fish chunks and gravy etc.

Advantages

Due to low velocity it reduces the chances of material slip thus increase the level of efficiency. The particles do not abrade conveying and avoid wearing it. It consume less air, eventually would require small air-solid separation devices.

Disadvantages

Dense phase feeding system is more expensive compare to dilute phase feeding system due to its specs of components. To know the process of dense phase feeding certain level of qualification is required which make if difficult to operate the machine. Often, particles are liquidized for smooth flow but this causes mess as water goes down the line.

Application

There is no such limitation on the type of product that has to be processed by dense phase vacuum feeding. Instead, it can process multiple items like soft, hard and especially abrasive substances because of its high bulk density. Most of the nuclear industries, chemical, food and medical industries are looking for using this machine.

8.Differentiate Between Dilute Phase Vacuum Feeding And Dense Phase Vacuum Feeding?

A vacuum feeding machine can be categorized into two main types on the basis of its possible feeding conditions. How each is different from another is what we have clarified below:

No	Factors	Dilute Phase Vacuum Feeding	Dense Phase Vacuum Feeding
1	Definition	In dilute phase feeding, particles are delivered with high air speed through continuous process	Where as a vacuum feeding machine conveys particles in batches with low air velocity it is called dense phase feeding system
2	Process	Its process is simple with loading material from feeding station in form of suspended particles	It is little bit difficult to operate and need proper expertise. However, it takes the material in bulk with low velocity
3	Speed	Its conveying power very fast but deliver less amount at a time	This process is gentle and slow in nature due to low air pressure but convey large amount of bulk material
4	Suitable Material	It can harm fragile items thus is only ideal for material with low density and hard structure	It is material friendly and never damages brittle materials
5	Abrasive Material	It can be dangerous to feed electrostatic material by dilute phase	It is suitable for processing abrasive material and do not create any electric charge
6	Capacity	Its capacity of conveying is extremely high and can reach up to 10TPH	Due to reduced air tension dense phase delivering capacity is lower than 10TPH
7	Cost	Construction of dilute phase feeder is typically less expensive due to light duty work	It is more expensive with heavy duty components
8	Example

9.What Are The Common Problems And Troubleshooting Of A Vacuum Feeding Machine?

Vacuum feeding machine is highly effective equipment for transporting variety of materials. However, few problems may arise during the process which can be resolved by knowing underlying troubleshooting:

No	Problem	Solution
1	Vacuum pump pressure is higher than normal and particles are escaping from line	There may be product build-up problem or leakage in elbow. Recover the coupling line and plugged convey lines
2	The filters and bin vents are fluctuating with inconsistent pulses	Bags are dirty or solenoid is bad. Replace inspecting filter bags and diaphragm
3	Sudden blockage in pipeline	It may be due to heavy load or low air pressure. Maintain the velocity of air and fix particular rate for feeding so that material can be easily passed through pipeline
4	Particle degradation problem occurs during feeding	Friction against pipeline can create break in friable material. To prevent this make sure that air pressure is low and use dense phase feeding for fragile items
5	Material become sticky and leads to condensation	The reason can be temperature change due to which particle absorb moisture. To solve this, trace the heating part and adjust proper air blowing

10.What Should Be Considered Before Buying A Vacuum Feeding Machine?

While purchasing a vacuum feeding machine you must have to be vigilant enough and stay alert to consider some of the important aspects such as:

Nature of Products

What type of material you are assuming to feed either it is fragile or strong, free flowing or cohesive, these all questions matters a lot. Same as, for soft and easily broken material dense vacuum feeding machine is best suitable for retaining their sterility like that of medicines. While on other hand, for hard material dilute phase vacuum feeding machine is good.

Material of Construction

Before choosing any automation solution it is very important to know what its texture is tailored with whether stainless steel, carbon steel or pharmaceutical sanitary grade. By looking properly into it can relieve you in processing variety of materials due to higher degree of energy efficiency and solid build-up.

Machine Features

Do you know the features of vacuum feeder which you are considering to purchase it? Like what is its upstream process? Is it coming from hopper, feeder or reactor? The airflow direction and size of vent, fans, and filters these all can influence the feeding of your products so make sure they are ideally equipped and compatible to your needs.

Velocity of Feeding Rate

How much volume a vacuum feeding machine can deliver per hour is another crucial factor to know. So make sure that its rate of conveying is up to the mark.

Type of Process

Usually, feeders are of two types; volumetric and gravimetric. Volumetric feeders process material in batches without exact measurement and are less expensive. If you just want to feed the products this is better applicable. While as, items which requires high accuracy level with continuous processing are in need of gravimetric feeders.

Headroom above Process Equipment

Find out how much headroom is available in machine. It is the compulsory space for processing because even smaller vacuum feeders require at lead 30″ headroom.

Conclusion

A vacuum feeding machine has brought automation in feeding industry due which it has been recognized globally with super-fast and safe performance. Allpack is the leading supplier of vacuum feeding technology for more many years. If you are eager to know more about this machine, feel free to ask.

9. What Is the Working Principle of a Food Vacuum Packaging Machine?

Sealing Process Table

The main function of the food vacuum packaging machine is to remove oxygen, which is beneficial to prevent the food from spoiling.

The working principle of the food vacuum packaging machine is relatively simple.

Because food spoilage is mainly caused by the activity of microorganisms, and most microorganisms (such as molds and yeasts) require oxygen to survive.

Food-Vacuum-Packaging-Line-Chain

Food Vacuum Packaging Line Chain

Vacuum packaging uses this principle to remove the oxygen in the food in the packaging bag, so that the microorganisms lose the environment for survival.

Experiments have shown that when the oxygen concentration in the packaging bag is less than 1%, the growth and reproduction speed of microorganisms will drop sharply. When the oxygen concentration is lower than 0.5%, most microorganisms will be inhibited and stop multiplying.

Oxygen Content Table

(Note: Vacuum packaging cannot inhibit the reproduction of anaerobic bacteria and the deterioration and discoloration of food caused by enzymatic reactions, so it needs to be combined with other auxiliary methods, such as refrigeration, quick freezing, dehydration, high-temperature sterilization, irradiation sterilization, microwave sterilization, salt pickled etc.)

In addition to inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, another important function of vacuum oxygenation is to prevent food oxidation.

Because oily foods contain a lot of unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are easily oxidized by the action of oxygen, thus making the food taste bad and spoiled.

Carbondioxide-Content-Table

Carbon dioxide Content Table

In addition, oxidation can easily cause the loss of vitamin A and vitamin C. The unstable substances in food coloring are exposed to the action of oxygen, darkening the color.

Therefore, oxygenation can effectively prevent food spoilage.

In addition to the function of oxygenation and quality preservation, vacuum packaging mainly has the functions of anti-pressure, gas resistance, and preservation. This can more effectively keep the original color, aroma, taste, shape and nutritional value of the food for a long time.

In addition, there are many foods that cannot be vacuum-packed, but must be vacuum-inflatable packaged. Such as crunchy and brittle food, and food that is easy to agglomerate and easy to deform and lose oil; food with sharp edges and corners or high hardness that will pierce the packaging bag, etc.

Potato-Chips-Vacuum-Packaging-Machine

Potato Chips Vacuum Packaging Machine

After the food is vacuum inflated, the inflation pressure in the packaging bag is stronger than the atmospheric pressure outside the packaging bag. This can effectively prevent the food from being crushed and deformed under pressure, making the appearance of the packaging bag more beautiful.

The vacuum inflatable packaging is filled with a single gas such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, or a mixture of two or three gases after vacuum.

Among them, nitrogen is an inert gas, which plays a filling role to maintain a positive pressure in the bag. In this way, the air outside the packaging bag can be prevented from entering the bag, which has a protective effect on the food.

Nitrogen-Vacuum-Packaging

Nitrogen Vacuum Packaging

Carbon dioxide can be dissolved in various fats or water to form carbonic acid that is less acidic. This carbonic acid can effectively inhibit the activity of microorganisms such as mold and spoilage bacteria.

Oxygen can inhibit the growth and reproduction of anaerobic bacteria, and can maintain the freshness and color of fruits and vegetables. High concentrations of oxygen keep fresh meats bright red.

12. Why Does the Vacuum Packaging Machine Leak Air During Packaging?

Air-Leaking-of-Bad-Sealed-Packaging-Bag

Air Leaking of Bad Sealed Packaging Bag

There are many reasons why the vacuum packaging machine cannot be vacuumed cleanly. The main reasons are: the vacuuming time is too short. The vacuum pump is aging or not properly maintained.

The vacuum studio is not well sealed, and there is air leakage when vacuuming. The power of the vacuum pump is too small and the actual pumping speed ratio does not match, and the vacuum cannot be fully pumped.

The solution is as follows:

You should prolong the vacuuming time.

You should replace the vacuum pump, and pay attention to maintaining and replacing the vacuum pump oil timely.

If the vacuum pump has not been maintained for a long time, you should first clean up the waste oil in the vacuum pump before replacing it.

(Generally, the first maintenance is after the vacuum packaging machine has been working continuously for 300 hours.

After that, the maintenance will be carried out after the vacuum packaging machine has been working continuously for 500 hours.)

Proper-Operation

Proper Operation

You should check the vacuum chamber for leaks. If there is an air leak, you must replace the sealing strip in time.

If the vacuum pump is too small to achieve the desired vacuum effect, you need to replace it with a higher-power vacuum pump.

After the mechanical equipment is bought and used for a period of time, you must pay attention to its maintenance.

Just like a car, it needs regular maintenance. If maintenance is not in place, no matter how good the equipment is, it cannot be used for a long time.

13. How Long Can Vacuum-packed Food Generally be Stored?

Vacuum-packed food can generally be stored for about 1 to 12 months. The storage time varies depending on factors such as the type of food and the processing before packaging.

Different types of food after vacuum packaging have different storage times at room temperature.

In general, fresh agricultural products or lightly processed meat products can be kept at room temperature for 2 days. But after vacuum packaging, it can be extended to 6 days, and some can be extended to 18 days.

Vacuum-Packed-Fresh-Agricultural

Vacuum Packed Fresh Agricultural

Dried fruit vacuum-packed food can be stored for a long time, even more than twelve months.

Storage Time Table

Cooked vacuum-packed food will keep for a shorter period of time. Typically, it stays fresh for around 15 days in winter and spring. And in summer and fall, it will only keep for about 4 days to about a week, but preferably needs to be refrigerated.

14. How to Vacuum Pack Food With Liquid?

At present, the most common vacuum packaging of pure liquids on the market is Tetra Fino Aseptic, which is what we see as boxed milk. This is the vacuum packaging of pure liquids.

Tetra-Fino-Aseptic

Tetra Fino Aseptic

When the food with soup is vacuum packed, you can choose a liquid vacuum packing machine. This machine is provided with a groove. This allows the liquid to sink without spilling during vacuum packaging.

There is a double-chamber concave liquid vacuum packaging machine and a rolling vacuum packaging machine. By adjusting the angle of the machine, a certain angle of inclination can be created to prevent the soup from spilling.

15. Can You Eat the Leaking Vacuum-packed Food?

Vacuum-packed-greens

You would better not eat food that is leaking air.

It is best for you not to eat food that leaks air, because the vacuum packaging is for the purpose of preventing air from entering, preventing oxidation, and preventing corrosion.

If the vacuum packaging leaks, it proves that the air enters, so the items may deteriorate.

Inflatable packaging is generally filled with nitrogen and carbon dioxide, which can protect fragile food and prevent corrosion.

Once air leaks, the food will be oxidized with the air, and it is likely to deteriorate.

If the air leaks for a long time, it is impossible to judge whether the food is edible or not. It is likely to cause symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea.

Similarly, food that has no air leakage but has expired is also inedible.

16. What Should You Do When Choosing Food Vacuum Packaging Bags?

Food-Vacuum-Packaging-Bags

Food Vacuum Packaging Bags

The outer packaging of food vacuum packaging bags needs to be marked with text. Label the factory name, factory address, and product name. And the words “for food” should be clearly marked.

Products are accompanied by a product inspection certificate after leaving the factory. This food vacuum packaging bag is relatively safe.

Colored vacuum bags (dark red or black, etc. currently on the market) cannot be used for food packaging. Because these vacuum bags are often made of recycled plastic.

Food-Vacuum-Packaging-Bags(1)

Food Vacuum Packaging Bags

Food vacuum packaging bags are odorless when they leave the factory. Vacuum bags with special odors cannot be used as food vacuum bags.

Try to use food vacuum packaging bags that are not coated or plated.

In the current packaging design, in order to make the packaging bag more beautiful and corrosion-resistant, many manufacturers have used a large number of materials with coating.

This not only brings difficulties to the recovery and reuse of materials after the products are scrapped. And most of the coating material itself is toxic, if you use these food packaging bags, it will bring great harm to your health.

Coated-Food-Vacuum-Packaging-Bags

Coated Food Vacuum Packaging Bags

After knowing all this knowledge about Food Vacuum Packaging Machines, how do you feel about it? I feel it is a kind of amazing machine in daily life.

Conclusion

Food Vacuum Packaging Machines can bring great convenience to your life. Whether it is put into production in daily life or in business, it is very promising. Why not have a try of this kind of machine? If you have anything else that you don’t understand, you are welcome to consult.

As a result,automatic thermoforming vacuum packager is widely used in all kinds of food and non-food vacuum packaging, and it is suitable for large-scale vacuum packaging needs

External Pumping Vacuum Packager

External pumping vacuum packager,as the name shows,is a device which put products on the outside of the machine during the vacuum packaging process.

On contrary to other vacuum packager,this type of machine is to put the pump into the packaging pouch,when the extraction process is finished,take out the pump and then seal the packaging pouch.

The external vacuum packing machine has high speed and is not limited by the size of the products, and it can ensure the beauty of the products to be packed

Internal Pumping Vacuum Packager

Comparatively,internal pumping vacuum packager complete the vacuum process inside the machine.The machine extracts the air of the packaging pouch in its own vacuum chamber and then completes the sealing operations immediately.

Conventionally,internal pumping vacuum packager can be divided into single chamber vacuum packager and double chamber vacuum packager.

Single Chamber Vacuum Packager

As you can see,single chamber vacuum packager is in small size,sometimes you can just put it on the tabletop.The working principle is simple,extracting the air in the packaging pouch,and then sealing automatically.

Generally,single chamber vacuum packager can be used for meat products, seasoning, soybean products, medicine, grain and other powder, solid, liquid vacuum packaging.

Double Chamber Vacuum Packager

Be similar to the single chamber vacuum packager,the double chamber vacuum packager uses its chamber to do the extraction operation,and fills inert gases into the packaging pouch,to achieve the purpose for anti-corrosion.

But the difference is that double chamber vacuum packager has two chambers,the two chambers can work alternately.

Vertical Vacuum Packager

The vertical vacuum packager is mainly provides vacuum packaging to powder and granule products.For instance,vertical vacuum packager should be applied when there are large packaging demands such as agricultural feed or chemical fertilizers.

Bag-type Vacuum Packager

Generally,bag-type vacuum packager is applied in packaging casual snacks.

9.What are the application fields of vacuum packager?

After all,vacuum packager is applied in many aspects in your daily life,then this article will tell you some typical application fields of vacuum packager.

Food

To be honest,the most common application field you can see is the food packaging,vacuum packager provides vacuum packaging to food such as meat,fruit,vegetable,cookies,snacks and so on.

By using vacuum packaging,the color,taste and the mouthfeel of the products can be kept in a perfect condition,with such a advantage,vacuum packager is widely used in food packaging.

Medicine

Apart from the food industry,vacuum packager is also applied in medicine field,because of the particularity of medicine,the sanitary requirement is quite high.Vacuum packager can give a sterile package to the medicine product,then extend the storage time of the medicine and maintain the properties of drugs.

Electronic Component

Furthermore,vacuum packager can be used to package electronic components,but the material is a type of special plastic packaging pouch with shielding function,for the purpose to protect the electronic components from the damage of static electricity.

Metal

Even if metal is hard,it is easy to become oxidized,when the metal products oxidize,the appearance and the usage will both be affected.To resolve this problem,vacuum packager is also used in packaging metal.

10.What is the structure of vacuum packager?

After reading the previous text,I guess you are more interested about the vacuum packager,the next part is to tell the structure of it.In the basic case,vacuum packager consists of the following components:

Upper and lower vacuum chamber and sealing ring

Generally,vacuum packager is a cavity structure,consists of the upper and lower vacuum chamber and the sealing ring which is between the two chamber.

Hot pressing sealing device

This device is installed in the vacuum chamber,it is composed of heat seal chamber frame,reset device,hot pressing frame and hot sealing chamber.

Vacuum pump,vacuum gauge and vacuum solenoid valve

Vacuum pump is equal to the heart of the vacuum packager because it’s the extraction air device of the machine.

Vacuum gauge is to monitor the vacuum index of the packaging products.

The vacuum solenoid valve is a special valve installed on the vacuum pump,it is connected to the same power supply with the vacuum pump, and the opening and stopping of the vacuum pump directly controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valve.

Time relays, transformers and contactors

There are always two time relays,one is to control the time of vacuum,the other one is to control the time of heat-sealing.

A transformer is a static electrical device. It is according to the principle of electromagnetic induction, a certain level of AC voltage and current into the same frequency of another level of voltage and current equipment.

Contactor is actually a kind of electromagnetic switch, can automatically break the high current circuit.

11.What is the working principle of vacuum packager?

Well,after understanding the structure of vacuum packager,next part is the working principle,in other words,what’s the technology support of vacuum packager.

To explain this question,we have to talk about microorganism,which results in the spoilage of the products.As well as known,the survival of microorganism is depended on oxygen of the air.How about making it lose the oxygen?

Now you can see the working principle of the vacuum packager is so simple,just extracts the air of the packaging pouch,then the microorganism loses its main living environment,the rate of their growth and reproduction are dramatically reduced, or even suppressed .So,the purpose of using vacuum packager is achieved.

12.What is the working process of vacuum packager?

In fact,there are four parts of the whole working process of vacuum packager:vacuum,heat-seal,gas returning and circulation.

Vacuum

At the first step,the cover of the vacuum chamber is closed,and then the vacuum pump begins working,at the same time,the vacuum process is started. As this operation goes on,the vacuum index is increased,when it reaches the rated vacuum degree,the vacuum pump stop working.

Heat-seal

The second step is the heat-seal,the outer air enters the heat seal chamber through the air inlet,at that moment,the gas in the heat seal chamber is expanding because of the pressure difference between the vacuum chamber and the heat seal chamber.

As a result,the upper thermopress frame begins to move down and press the mouth of packaging pouch,meanwhile,the heat seal transformer starts working and the seal operation is finished.

Gas returning

Next,the air enters the vacuum chamber,the vacuum index return to zero,the hot press frame is reset,then the cover of vacuum chamber is opened.

Circulation

If the vacuum packager is a double chamber vacuum packager,according to the procedure steps, the vacuum chamber is moved to another vacuum chamber, and the next working cycle is starts,the left and right chambers work alternately to achieve the cycle repeats.

13.How to use a vacuum packager?

Simply speaking,the operation steps of the vacuum packager is not complex,it is easy for you to use a vacuum packager.

Firstly,you should switch the power supply,choose the correct power switch according to your demand,after that,the power indicator is on.

Secondly,put the packaging pouch in the vacuum chamber,pay attention to the mouth,it should be put on the heat sealing strip neatly.

Then,you should close the cover of vacuum chamber,and adjust the knob of vacuum operation to control the vacuum degree according to the packaging requirement.

Next,when it is at the end of the extracting air process, the inflating operation begins, and you can control the length of time by adjust the knob of inflating operation.

After the above steps,the machine enters the heat-sealing part,you should adjust the time and temperature,a vital point is that you need to adjust the knob in a small range.

Finally,when the heat-sealing operation is finished,the cover of the vacuum packager will be opened,it means that the operation process is finished,you can prepare for the next cycle.

14.What are the operation key points of vacuum packager?

The most crucial one is that the vacuum packing machine should be used in the environment where the temperature is -10℃ -50 ℃, the relative humidity is no more than 85%, and there is no corrosive gas, no dust and no explosive danger in the surrounding air.

To ensure the vacuum pump can work normally,you should check the oil of it termly,if there’s moisture in the oil or the oil turns black,you should replace with new oil.

Don’t forget,the magazine filter should be removed and washed every one to two months.

When the vacuum packager has worked for continuous three months,you should add lube to the connecting parts of the machine.

In addition,the sealing strip should be kept clean,or the quality of sealing will be greatly compromised .

In order to avoid collision,don’t place the vacuum packager obliquely in the process of transport.And when install the vacuum packager,you should guarantee the machine can be put on floor stably.

In the operation process,you should ventilate the vacuum packager before turning on the power,on the contrary,at the end of operation,you need to turn off the power firstly.

16.How to deal with the malfunctions while using vacuum packager?

Whereas,it is inevitable that the machine may be out-of-order,what can you do when it’s broken-down?Just as the follow text:

The first situation is that the vacuum degree is low,there are several possible reasons.If the oil of vacuum pump is polluted,too little or too thin,you need to wash the vacuum pump,and add new oil.If the time of extraction is too short,you need to extend it;

If the exhaust filter is blocked,you need to wash or change it;If there is air leakage,you need to turn off the power,and then check whether the solenoid valve, pipe joint, vacuum pump suction valve or the surrounding gasket of the studio have air leakage.

The second situation is that the heating part occurs malfunctions.On the one hand,it doesn’t heat,you need to check the heater strip,time relay,heating wire and other heating device to find out which part is faulted,then change it.

On the other hand,when the heating device doesn’t stop,if the time relay is out of contact, adjust or replace it. If the AC contactor doesn’t reset, repair or replace it.

The third situation is that there is aloud noise. If the vacuum pump coupling is worn or broken,you need to replace it. If the exhaust filter is blocked or installed in an incorrect position,you need to clean or replace the exhaust filter and install it correctly.If there is oil leakage,check the solenoid valve.

And there are another situation is that the oil returning valve is blocked,you need to remove and wash it.

17.How to choose a proper vacuum packager?

Some of the other differences between both machines are

Definition

A thermoforming process includes application of thermoplastic film that has been heated at a high temperature. A single sided mold is responsible for its handling and after cooling down it acquires the shape of mold. A Thermoforming machine has a unique feature that they can adapt wide range of materials in its operational procedure.

Vacuum forming process is one of the most ancient methods for treating plastic materials. Plastic material is molded for forming permanent shapes. The sheet first gets soft and then wrapped over a mold.

Procedure

A thermoforming machine heats the film to its melting points and pours into the mold. The mold then releases the final product once the system is cooled down.

While in a vacuum forming machine, the plastic is clamped according to the position of frame and then heat is applied. It softens the plastic and makes it pliable. The frame is then combined together and as a result the final, shaped plastic product is received.
