Food Packaging Machine Control System and Metering Device – The Core Guarantee for Precise and Efficient Packaging
In the food packaging process, the control system and metering device are two core components that determine equipment performance and packaging quality. Their coordinated operation directly impacts packaging accuracy, production efficiency, and equipment stability, making them crucial for the automated and intelligent operation of food packaging machines.

We always start from the actual production needs of our customers, providing food companies with efficient and safe packaging solutions through stable and reliable control systems and high-precision metering devices.


I. Control System – Stable Equipment Operation
The food packaging machine control system mainly consists of a PLC controller, human-machine interface, sensors, and actuators, responsible for the unified scheduling and precise control of all processes within the machine.
Core advantages include:
Stable and Reliable Operation: Utilizing industrial-grade PLCs and high-quality electrical components, it boasts strong anti-interference capabilities and adapts to long-term continuous operation in food production environments.
Intelligent and Convenient Operation: A touchscreen human-machine interface provides intuitive and clear parameter settings, supports multiple recipe storage and one-button switching, reducing operational difficulty and labor costs.
Precise and Coordinated Control: Synchronous control of metering, feeding, forming, and sealing ensures smooth equipment operation and a stable and consistent packaging process.

Intelligent Fault Prompt: Equipped with self-checking and alarm functions, fault information is clearly displayed for quick troubleshooting and maintenance.


II. Metering Device – A Key Component for Ensuring Packaging Accuracy

The metering device is a crucial component in food packaging machines that directly contacts the material and determines the packaging weight and capacity. Its performance directly affects product qualification rate and production costs.


Key Features include:

High-Precision Metering: Utilizes advanced metering structures and control algorithms to effectively control errors, ensuring consistent weight for each bag and reducing material waste.


High Adaptability: Can be flexibly configured with various metering methods such as measuring cup, screw, and weighing to meet the needs of various materials including granules, powders, liquids, and sauces, based on different food characteristics.

Stable and Smooth Operation: A reasonable structural design ensures uniform feeding, avoiding material jamming and blockage, and guaranteeing continuous and stable production.


Easy Cleaning and Maintenance: Metering components are mostly made of food-grade stainless steel, facilitating easy disassembly and assembly, and meeting food hygiene requirements. III. System Collaboration – Achieving Efficient and Intelligent Packaging

The control system and metering device work in precise coordination to achieve fully automated control of the entire process from material metering to packaging. The control system is responsible for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the metering process, while the metering device ensures the accuracy of material dispensing. Working together, they effectively improve packaging efficiency and product consistency.


This highly integrated system design not only enhances the overall performance of the equipment but also provides customers with greater flexibility when switching between different products or adjusting specifications.
