Conditions to consider when purchasing a packaging machine
Choosing the expensive one is not necessarily good, it is the key that suits oneself. Therefore, what conditions should be taken into account when purchasing a packaging machine? The following content will help you analyze which performance is suitable for you and which suppliers provide services that are suitable for you.
1、 Mechanical design
The sturdy and durable mechanical design and construction are more resistant to external pressure and vibration, and can adapt to harsh production environments. Therefore, when choosing, it is important to ensure that the supplier uses high-quality parts. Request it to provide the type of parts used and the supplier name. Some suppliers provide standard parts lists when customers request them.
2、 Supplier experience
When selecting equipment, it is also important to consider the supplier's experience in machine design and application. Confirm that the supplier has taken into account all your needs, from space and budget constraints to packaging format, speed, and so on. For example, if you want to produce machines three shifts a day, don't buy one that can only complete one shift of work per day.
In addition, it is also necessary to ensure that suppliers understand the manufacturing of paper boxes and the raw materials required for machine production. To understand if the supplier has the above experience, you can ask them questions, consult reference materials, watch videos of similar applications provided by them, and so on.
3、 Reputation, reliability
Buyers should also consider the supplier's reputation in the industry and whether their financial situation is stable. After the machine is installed, the supplier can provide support and services for you in the coming years.
4、 Customize
Choose a supplier who can customize the packaging machine according to your requirements and make some minor modifications to the design to meet your actual needs. It is called customization, where when the machine is simple, only the size needs to be changed or an electronic component needs to be replaced. When it is complex, even important parts of the machine need to be redesigned. Suppliers should be able to manufacture machines and have all necessary experience and customization capabilities to provide comprehensive solutions.
5、 Flexibility
The demand for packaging may change, both now and in the future. So when choosing, this cannot be ignored. If you expect the size of the paper box or product to change in the future, make sure that the machine you purchase can be modified or can handle different sizes of paper boxes. In addition, you also need to know if the speed you want to buy can meet your current and future speed requirements.
6、 Machine dimensions
In addition, when selecting a supplier, it is important to see if they can provide multiple models, so that you can easily find the model that suits your packaging production line. If you purchased the previous product processing equipment, you can purchase one with a smaller footprint. In summary, look at a few more machines, compare them, and then choose the one that suits the size of your factory.
7、 Can be combined with upstream and downstream equipment
The box packing machine is usually located in the center of the production line, ensuring that the box cylinder you purchase can communicate with upstream and downstream equipment. Due to the fact that a production line also includes various other machines, such as weighing machines, metal detection equipment, upstream bagging machines, downstream bagging machines, and palletizing machines. If only purchasing a packaging machine, ensure that the supplier understands how to integrate the production line.
8、 Delivery date
At present, customers demand prompt delivery, and more importantly, they
