INTRODUCTION
Automatic packing machines are a revolutionary way to package items quickly and efficiently. They are a boon to businesses, as they can take care of the entire packing process quickly and accurately. These machines are typically used in warehouses, factories, and other large-scale operations to package items quickly and accurately.
NEED STATEMENT
Packing machines are used to package products or components.This product area includes equipment that forms, fills, seal's, clean, wraps and packages at diffrent levels of automation.Packaging machines also include related machinery for sorting, counting and accumulating.
WORKING AND COMPONENTS
A packaging machine can be made using the following components:
1. Motor:
A motor is required to power the machine. The type of motor used will depend on the size, weight and power of the machine.
