Oil Pouch Packing Machine, With PLC

The Oil Pouch Packing Machine With PLC fills and seals pouches without help from an operator at an even rate of 1100 pouches every hour. It forms pouches from multilayer low density polyethylene film 75 - 100 microns thick, fills them with oil and seals them in one continuous cycle. A single electric motor runs the machine from a 320 V supply at 50 or 60 Hz - the line keeps moving even when plant power fluctuates. A programmable logic controller governs every motion - film feed, pouch forming, fill volume, heat seal time plus finished-pouch ejection - so each pouch arrives at the takeaway conveyor the same length, the same weight and the same seal strength. The frame, fabricated in India from folded and welded mild steel, withstands the pace of a food grade or edible oil plant that must run eight hours or more per shift. Film mounts on a simple swing out shaft - an edge guiding sensor tracks printed eye-marks and steers the web so that seal lines always fall in the right place. Once the roll is loaded, no one needs to touch the film again until it is empty. The machine tolerates the high slip or low slip surfaces of co extruded LDPE films that block oxygen but also moisture - the oil inside retains flavour and clarity for the intended shelf life. Companies that bottle ground nut, sunflower, mustard, coconut or blended edible oil can bolt the machine to an existing conveyor and begin production the same day.
