Packaging machine FAQ

The price of a packaging machine depends on the number of heads or lanes, the dosing system, contact-part materials, the control components, options and how many package sizes need change parts. Send your product, package and output and we reply with an itemised quotation within one working day.

Our minimum order is 1 set. We sell single machines as well as complete lines, quoted FOB Shanghai, CIF or delivered to your port.

Lead time depends on the configuration and the change parts required. The delivery date is confirmed in the quotation once the configuration is fixed.

Payment terms are stated in each quotation and agreed before the order is confirmed.

We quote FOB Shanghai, CIF or delivered to your port. Machines are film-wrapped and packed in export wooden cases for sea freight.

Free test on your product sample, filmed and sent to you before you order.

The warranty is 1–2 years, by model. Support includes video calls, online troubleshooting, spare parts and on-site installation by arrangement.

The machine in standard configuration with an itemised list of options, change parts for each package size, a spare-parts list, English manual, the FOB price, the lead time, payment terms and warranty.

The product you pack, the container or bag and its size, the fill weight or volume, your target output per minute or per shift, and your factory voltage. Photos of your container and cap help.

Within one working day, China Standard Time (UTC+8). WhatsApp messages are usually answered the same day.

Yes. We quote FOB Shanghai or delivered to your port, and pack machines in export wooden cases.

Yes. Contact us to arrange a visit to see machines running in Shanghai.

Our piston and peristaltic fillers typically hold within ±1% of the target volume. Actual accuracy depends on viscosity, foaming and temperature, so we confirm it on your own product sample before the machine ships.

Yes. Bottle sizes are changed with change parts (star wheels, guides, nozzles and capping chucks). We quote the change parts for every size you list in your inquiry.

Screw caps, press-on caps, droppers, pumps, triggers, roll-on balls, plugs and aluminium crimp caps. Send a photo or sample of your cap and container and we confirm the feeding and capping method.

Yes. Moulds are machined to the exact cup or can. A drawing gets us started on the quotation; physical samples are needed before production to test sealing.

Yes, as long as the cup rim and lidding film are compatible. Tell us the cup and film material and we set seal temperature and dwell time accordingly.

Pillow bags, gusseted bags, block-bottom bags, 3-side and 4-side seal sachets and stick packs. The style is set by the forming tube and sealing jaws, which we specify from your bag sample or drawing.

Free-flowing granules: volumetric cups. Fragile or irregular items such as chips and nuts: a multihead weigher. Powders: an auger filler. Liquids and sauces: a piston pump. Send your product and target weight and we recommend one.

Heat-sealable laminated films such as PET/PE, BOPP/CPP, PET/AL/PE and paper/PE. We confirm the seal settings against your film specification.

VFFS uses roll film, which costs less per bag. Premade pouches cost more but give zippers, spouts and a premium shelf look. Our blog explains the trade-off in detail.

Typically 20–60 pouches per minute depending on pouch size, fill weight and product.

A flow wrapper wraps solid items fed horizontally, one by one. A VFFS machine drops loose product into a bag formed vertically. Bars and biscuits go on a flow wrapper; chips and powders go on a VFFS.

Yes. We add sorting tables, transfer belts or robotic pick-and-place feeding when manual loading cannot keep up.

Round bottles use a wrap-around labeler; square and flat bottles need a side or three-side labeler; full-body decoration on shaped bottles uses a shrink sleeve. Send a container sample photo and label size.

Yes. A hot-stamp coder, thermal-transfer printer or laser marker can be added to print batch and expiry dates on the label.

Yes. We match conveyor height, direction and speed, and exchange run/stop signals with your upstream machines.

Each model lists its carton range on its page. Size changes are made with hand-wheel adjustments and scales, not tools.

Collaborative palletizers can run with light curtains or safety mats instead of full fencing, depending on your local regulations. Industrial palletizers need guarding; we supply fencing, curtains and mats as options.

The HMI stores multiple recipes, so you switch patterns by selecting a product rather than reprogramming.

After the product is in its final pack and before case packing, so that any contamination introduced during packing is caught. Foil packs need an X-ray system instead.

Yes. Each has its own control panel and can run alone or be integrated into a line.

Ask for a live video tour of the assembly hall, your machine type under construction and the engineers who will commission it, and check the company registration on the contract matches the bank account you pay.

Many manufacturers test samples free of charge before an order. You usually pay to ship the samples to the factory.

The specification on your product, itemised options, change parts for every size, spare parts, documents, trade terms, lead time, payment terms and warranty.

Yes. A live video FAT works well if the test criteria are agreed in advance and the camera can show the dosing, sealing, speed and finished packs.

A VFFS can make block-bottom and gusseted bags that stand, but zipper doypacks and spouted pouches are made on a premade pouch machine.

Usually yes. Rotary premade machines run around 20–60 pouches per minute, while VFFS machines run 20–80 bags per minute and faster on small sachets.

The dosing device (weigher or auger) can often be reused, but the bagger itself is different. Plan the platform height for both if you expect to switch.

A servo piston filler covers the widest range, from thin liquids to thick sauces with particles, and its volume is changed on the touch screen.

Typically within ±1% of target volume, depending on product behaviour. Verify it by weighing consecutive fills on your own product.

Not always. Monoblock machines fill and cap in one frame; separate cappers make sense on faster or longer lines.

A well-balanced line from unscrambler to case sealer usually needs one or two operators to load bottles, caps, labels and cartons and to supervise.

Yes. Plan conveyor height and direction for the final line and add machines such as the case packer and palletizer later.

Lead time depends on the number of machines and custom parts. We confirm it in the quotation once the configuration is fixed.

It can for small, uniform granules, but a multihead weigher or volumetric cups usually perform better on granular products.

It has many load cells, hoppers and a combination computer. The cost is often recovered through lower product giveaway.

Yes. A checkweigher downstream verifies every pack and rejects off-weight bags regardless of dosing method.

For most standard machines, yes. A live call with an agreed test script and recorded results covers the same checks as an in-person visit.

Usually the buyer supplies product and packaging materials; the manufacturer supplies labour, power and air. Agree this in the contract.

The manufacturer corrects the issue and repeats the failed tests before shipment.

Yes, but stainless steel is the hardest metal to detect; the achievable size depends on aperture and product.

Most food producers do: one protects against contamination, the other against short weight and giveaway.

No. Use X-ray inspection for foil or metallised packaging.
