Flow Packing Machine

Description

  • Concept generation of vertical sealing mechianism
  • Determine the operation parameters and synchronising the speed of operations (Film Unwinding, Soap Delivery, Verical Sealing and Horizontal sealing)
  • Optimizing the bag forming mechanism

How?

  • Solidworks is utilized to develop the 3D model.
  • Used other machinery mechanisms as an inspiration for solving the bag forming problem.
  • Co-operate with the manufaturing team to ease mass production processes.

Results

  • Automating the packing machine was possible. It was initially designed to pack bar soap.
  • The Flow packing Machine was modified to suit the type of product to be packed.
