Cookie film pillow packaging machine

The top-fed pillow packaging machine for cookies, with its hygienic design, high-speed performance, and intelligent controls, is the optimal choice for modern bakeries upgrading their packaging processes. It ensures product quality, reduces production costs, and adapts to evolving market needs—from retail to global logistics—empowering businesses to enhance competitiveness across the supply chain.

Description

1. Machine Appearance: Compact and Hygienic Design for Food Safety

The top-fed pillow packaging machine for cookies features a ‌modular structure‌ constructed from ‌304 stainless steel‌ and food-grade engineering plastics. Its sleek, streamlined design complies with ‌GMP hygiene standards‌. The machine typically measures ‌2.5m (L) × 1.2m (W) × 1.8m (H)‌, making it ideal for small-to-medium production lines. A transparent protective cover with ‌LED lighting‌ allows real-time monitoring of the packaging process. The user-friendly ‌7-inch touchscreen‌ interface supports multilingual settings and one-touch parameter adjustments, minimizing operational complexity.

2. Workflow: Fully Automated, Precision-Driven Process

  1. Film Feeding and Shaping
    The packaging film roll (e.g., OPP or PET composite) is fed ‌downward from the top‌ through a guide roller system that automatically corrects deviations and adjusts tension, ensuring smooth, wrinkle-free film. The film is then folded into a continuous ‌pillow-shaped channel‌ via a forming collar.

  2. Product Loading
    Cookies are precisely transferred into the film channel via a conveyor belt. ‌Photoelectric sensors‌ ensure each cookie is centered with a positioning error of ≤1mm, eliminating misalignment.

  3. Vertical and Horizontal Sealing

    • Vertical Sealing‌: Heated rollers instantly seal both sides of the film channel, creating airtight longitudinal seams.
    • Horizontal Sealing and Cutting‌: A servo-driven rotary cutter synchronizes horizontal sealing and cutting. The sealing temperature (adjustable from ‌80°C to 180°C‌) accommodates various film materials, achieving speeds of ‌120–200 packs per minute‌.
  4. Output
    Finished pillow-packaged cookies are discharged via an outlet conveyor, which can integrate with automated checkweighers or coding devices for a seamless “packaging-inspection-boxing” workflow.

3. Key Advantages: Tailored Solutions for Cookie Packaging

  1. Enhanced Protection

    • Airtight vertical and horizontal seals block moisture and oxygen, preserving crispness and ‌reducing breakage rates by over 30%‌.
    • Adaptive film tension control prevents excessive compression, ideal for delicate products like filled cookies.
  2. Flexibility and Efficiency

    • Adjustable molds and parameters support packaging for cookies weighing ‌10g to 500g‌, in shapes ranging from round and square to custom designs.
    • Capable of single-piece, multi-piece, or mixed-flavor gift box packaging, meeting diverse retail and e-commerce demands.
  3. Eco-Friendly Operation

    • The top-fed design reduces film friction, lowering material waste by ‌15%–20%‌. A dedicated mode for ‌biodegradable films‌ aligns with sustainable packaging trends.
  4. Smart Control

    • Built-in temperature, speed, and self-diagnostic systems trigger real-time alerts for anomalies. Production data can be uploaded via ‌IoT modules‌ to MES systems for digitalized management.

4. Applications: Versatile Scenarios Across Industries

  1. Bakery Production Lines

    • Packages butter cookies, chocolate cookies, waffle biscuits, etc., using either cold-seal films (ambient) or heat-shrink films (enhanced gloss).
  2. Gift and Retail Packaging

    • Customizable with ‌transparent window packaging‌ to showcase cookie designs. Metallized or holographic films create premium holiday gift boxes.
  3. E-Commerce and Logistics

    • Integrates ‌shock-proof cushioning packaging‌ and QR code labeling for secure shipping.
  4. Export and Cross-Border Markets

    • Models compliant with ‌FDA and CE certifications‌ meet international hygiene standards. Optional gas-flushing modules (e.g., nitrogen) extend shelf life for export products.
