FAQ - Packaging machinery
How does a packaging machine work?
A packaging machine automates different steps of the packing cycle such as forming the package, filling it with product, sealing it and preparing it for distribution.
How does automated packaging work?
Automated packaging machinery uses integrated mechanical units, sensors and control systems to manage product feeding, forming, filling and sealing with minimal human intervention. These systems increase productivity and guarantee repeatability, which is essential in industrial environments where large volumes and consistent quality are required.
What is the principle of a packaging machine?
The core principle is the controlled and repeatable execution of forming, filling and sealing cycles. Through coordinated mechanical components and electronic controls, the machine transforms packaging material into a finished package that protects and presents the product efficiently and safely.
What are the different types of packaging machines?
Main types include forming machines, filling machines, flow pack systems, cartoning machines, wrapping machines and complete automatic cartoning process.
How many types of packaging machines are there?
Cartomac offers several types of packaging machines, including: automatic and semi-automatic cartoning machines, case erectors, carton forming machines, carton closing machines, horizontal casepackers, and complete cartoning lines.
What is a food packaging machine?
A food packaging machine is specifically designed to wrap, seal or contain food products safely. These machines use hygienic materials, precise temperature control and contamination-free processes to meet food industry standards.
What are food packaging machines?
These are machines specifically developed to package edible goods safely and efficiently. In Cartomac, they include automatic and semi-automatic cartoning machines, case erectors, carton forming machines, carton closing machines, horizontal casepackers, and complete cartoning lines.
What is packaging machinery?
Packaging machinery includes all mechanical and automated systems used to form, fill, seal, wrap, protect or prepare a product for transport. Cartomac machines support industries such as food and not food: automotive, hardware, switches, fittings, surgical masks, pet food, valves, screws.
What materials are used for packaging?
Cartomac uses cardboard cartons as the primary packaging material, offering strong, recyclable and reliable solutions for forming, erecting, filling and closing boxes.
Are packing machines easy to operate?
Modern machines are designed to be user-friendly, featuring intuitive control panels, recipe storage and automated adjustment systems. With basic training, operators can manage daily production efficiently.
How do I choose a packaging machine?
You should consider product dimensions, production speed, required package type, material compatibility and available space. Cartomac-type machines are ideal when reliability, flexibility and industrial performance are required.
What should you consider when choosing packaging machinery?
Important factors include output speed, ease of changeover, energy consumption, maintenance needs and long-term reliability.
Why are packaging machines important?
They ensure product protection, hygiene, consistent quality and production efficiency: all essential elements for competitive and modern manufacturing.
What are the applications of packaging machines?
Applications range from food products to industrial components, such as automotive, fittings, screws, hardware and consumer goods.
What are the uses of packaging machines?
They automate forming, filling, closing, sealing, labeling and preparing goods for transport, ensuring faster production and improved product protection.
What do packaging machines do in a factory?
They form primary or secondary packaging, protect products during handling, maintain hygiene and create a uniform, market-ready presentation.
How do you classify packaging machinery?
Packaging machinery is usually classified by function (forming, filling, closing), by the type of packaging (flexible, rigid) or by the production flow (horizontal, vertical, end-of-line).
What does a packaging machine operator do?
A packaging operator monitors the machine, loads materials, checks product alignment, ensures sealing quality, performs basic adjustments and maintains production efficiency and safety.
What is the meaning of packing machine?
A packing machine is a device designed to contain, seal or enclose a product in a protective package.
What is the difference between packing machine and packaging machine?
Both terms are often used interchangeably, but "packaging machine" is more commonly used in the industry and includes all equipment involved in forming, filling and sealing packages. "Packing machine" is sometimes used more broadly or informally.
