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:

  1. Frame‌: High-strength stainless steel, corrosion-resistant and food-grade compliant, with a smooth surface for easy cleaning.
  2. Conveyor System‌: Adjustable multi-stage conveyor belts to accommodate various container sizes and ensure continuous feeding.
  3. 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.
  4. Heat Shrink Tunnel‌: Built-in electric heating elements or multi-layer hot air circulation systems, with customizable tunnel length to match production capacity.
  5. Control Panel‌: User-friendly touchscreen interface for parameter adjustment, fault diagnosis, and production data tracking.

2. Workflow: Automation Meets Precision

  1. Feeding and Alignment

    • Containers are automatically aligned by a sorting mechanism and fed into the packaging zone via the conveyor.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

  1. 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%.
  2. Superior Sealing and Moisture Resistance

    • High-strength seals withstand transportation vibrations, preventing lid detachment or moisture ingress to extend shelf life.
  3. Versatile Compatibility

    • Accommodates containers with diameters of 80–150 mm and heights of 100–200 mm. Supports eco-friendly films like POF and PVC.
  4. Smart Control

    • PLC programming enables preset packaging modes for quick product changeovers. Temperature control (±1°C accuracy) prevents film deformation.
  5. 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

  1. Instant Noodle Production

    • Ideal for cup/bucket noodles, self-heating rice meals, and other ready-to-eat products, enhancing shelf visibility.
  2. Snack Packaging

    • Seals bucket-packed chips, nuts, and candies to prevent moisture and crushing.
  3. Sauces and Beverages

    • Ensures airtight packaging for bucket sauces, powdered drinks, or instant soups, improving stacking efficiency during transport.
  4. Cross-Industry Use

    • Adaptable for household products like bucket-packed laundry detergent pods or cleaning agents, combining leak-proofing and branding.
