Dryfruit Packing Machine
In dry-fruits the most common items that are packed are Almonds and Cashews. Dry-fruits like cashews and almonds are expensive in nature. They are heavy in particle size as compared to grains or other snack food items and are usually packed in the range of 50gm to 1kg of pouches.
The almond packing machine and cashew packing machine both have a requirement that as the product is expensive the weight that is packed should be within permissible limits else it can cause a huge dent in the pocket of the manufacturer.
The rising demand and growing health consciousness is putting a constant pressure on manufacturers to pack higher quantities with better accuracy in nett weight and improved quality of packing of the pouch.
Most manufacturing companies producing dry fruit in packed form do the packing by hand using a manual process. There is a team of 3-4 people who fill the pouch then weigh, top up the material in the pouch to get the correct weight and then the last person seals it in a manual sealer. This has several challenges firstly the manpower is not consistently available and there is a lot of dependence on few people who develop speed in weighing fast on the weighing scale. Absenteeism at the time of peak workload is a consistent concern that most manufacturers face along with disciplinary issues as only a few people who are skilled in weighing fast can do the job. This poses another challenge that even though the manpower which is weighing is skilled there is no control and monitoring over the nett weight which is going in the pouch. As long as some is there to keep a watch the weight accuracy is maintained later it may go more or less. This causes problems in sales as retailers and distributors keep complaining of weight variation and sealing issues and increasing sales becomes a challenge.
As long as the production levels are in the range of 500 to 1000 pouches per day the manual system can support it. And there is no harm in the manual system of packing, it is cheap to start with and very easy to start the manufacturing system. But this philosophy itself becomes the bottleneck as soon as the production volumes start to pick up.
It becomes very important to control the losses in packing cashews and dry fruits and improve the speed and effectiveness of packing to maintain cost competitiveness.
The Focus is now shifting towards saving manpower, removing skill from cashew and almond packing process, reducing consumption of electricity, and saving of material in packing process.
Dry fruits packing is done in the range of 50gm to 1kg and one machine should be able to pack this entire weight range.
Manufacturers of cashew and almond packing desire that the machine should have the capability of changing over from one weight setting to the other with ease and no change parts. The accuracy is maintained in the nett weight of the pouch. It should be simple to operate and it should be easy to train a new operator on the machine. This is based on the feedback that we receive from manufacturers for dry fruit packing.
For a Dryfruit Packaging Machine to be successful it is important that the packaging machine is able to save extra material from being packed, reduce the time of packing, remove dependence on skill of weighing and packing, perform packaging in a hygienic manner, batch code marking and batch cutting.
If the nett weight that is packed in each pouch is less then the distributors and dealers raise a complaint. To take care of this complaint the manufacturers tend to pack more and give away more product in the pouch to avoid such concerns. This additional give away which is more than the acceptable norm becomes a very huge figure at the end of the year and may become a single most critical factor on eroding the profitability o the whole venture.
