Description
1. Machine Design: Compact Structure and Industrial Aesthetics
The bucket instant noodles heat shrink wrapping machine features a modular design with a clean, functional appearance, including:
- Frame: High-strength stainless steel, corrosion-resistant and food-grade compliant, with a smooth surface for easy cleaning.
- Conveyor System: Adjustable multi-stage conveyor belts to accommodate various container sizes and ensure continuous feeding.
- Film Wrapping and Sealing Module: Equipped with a top film unwinding mechanism and an L-shaped sealing/cutting blade for precise sealing at the container’s mouth and base.
- Heat Shrink Tunnel: Built-in electric heating elements or multi-layer hot air circulation systems, with customizable tunnel length to match production capacity.
- Control Panel: User-friendly touchscreen interface for parameter adjustment, fault diagnosis, and production data tracking.
2. Workflow: Automation Meets Precision
-
Feeding and Alignment
- Containers are automatically aligned by a sorting mechanism and fed into the packaging zone via the conveyor.
-
Film Wrapping and Sealing
- Shrink film unwinds from the roll and covers the container. The L-shaped blade horizontally cuts and seals the film at the container’s base while vertically sealing the top, forming a complete wrap.
-
Heat Shrinking
- Wrapped containers enter the heat tunnel (set to 150–200°C, depending on film type), where hot air evenly shrinks the film to tightly conform to the container, enhancing visual appeal.
-
Cooling and Discharge
- Shrunk packages pass through a cooling zone (natural air or water-cooled) to solidify the film, then proceed to the packing station.
Cycle Time: 5–8 seconds per container, with a line speed of 40–60 containers per minute.
3. Key Advantages: Efficiency and Quality Combined
-
High Speed and Reliability
- Fully automated workflow minimizes manual intervention. A variable-frequency speed control system ensures stable operation, with a failure rate below 0.5%.
-
Superior Sealing and Moisture Resistance
- High-strength seals withstand transportation vibrations, preventing lid detachment or moisture ingress to extend shelf life.
-
Versatile Compatibility
- Accommodates containers with diameters of 80–150 mm and heights of 100–200 mm. Supports eco-friendly films like POF and PVC.
-
Smart Control
- PLC programming enables preset packaging modes for quick product changeovers. Temperature control (±1°C accuracy) prevents film deformation.
-
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
- Insulated heat tunnel reduces energy consumption by 20%. Compatible with biodegradable films to align with green packaging trends.
4. Applications: Ready-to-Eat and Beyond
-
Instant Noodle Production
- Ideal for cup/bucket noodles, self-heating rice meals, and other ready-to-eat products, enhancing shelf visibility.
-
Snack Packaging
- Seals bucket-packed chips, nuts, and candies to prevent moisture and crushing.
-
Sauces and Beverages
- Ensures airtight packaging for bucket sauces, powdered drinks, or instant soups, improving stacking efficiency during transport.
-
Cross-Industry Use
- Adaptable for household products like bucket-packed laundry detergent pods or cleaning agents, combining leak-proofing and branding.
