Regarding Inspection and Debugging

We have conducted strict debugging and inspection of each part of the equipment before it leaves the factory. However, during transportation and handling, fasteners may loosen or positions may change slightly; moreover, when replacing filling parts, relevant components also need to be adjusted accordingly. In order to ensure that you can use this product smoothly, please follow the steps below for inspection and debugging before putting it into formal use.

  1. Please carefully check whether all electrical connectors are securely fastened and reliable, and whether any fasteners are loose.
  2. Ensure that the interior of the hopper is clean and free from foreign objects.
  3. Test whether all buttons function properly.
  4. Confirm whether the rotation direction of the agitator and feeder is correct (when viewed from above, it should rotate clockwise). If the direction is incorrect, it can be adjusted by swapping any two wires on the power cord.
  5. Check and confirm whether the adjustment shaft screws are loose.
  6. Check whether the measuring cup and screw are at the same center point. The specific testing method is as follows: first, loosen the fixing screw of the measuring cup and remove the cup. Then, rotate the screw 90 degrees and reinsert the cup to observe whether there is any interference. If they are not concentric, appropriate adjustments need to be made.

Regarding the adjustment of the bracket, we suggest you follow these steps: First, attach the screw to the adjusting shaft (similar to installing a standard pendant light bulb); then, rotate the screw approximately 90° each time and place the cup on the screw. Next, carefully observe whether the gap between the cup mouth and the bracket is uniform. If you notice any deviation in the gap, it's time to adjust the bracket. Before doing so, loosen the bracket bolts (do not completely loosen them, just enough so that the bracket can be gently tapped with a wooden stick). Next, you can use a wooden stick to tap the parts of the bracket with larger gaps until the cup can smoothly fit onto the screw at any position. Once this is achieved, tighten the bracket bolts.


For adjusting the height of the screw, we recommend the following method: First, place the cup on the screw and observe the position of the screw bottom, ensuring that it is approximately 2 millimeters away from the bottom edge of the cup (refer to the diagram for specific measurements). Then, open the observation window on the right side of the hopper cover, loosen the adjustment shaft screws, and evenly fix the cup in the appropriate position using the three cup screws. Afterwards, you can move the adjustment shaft up and down by hand, and when the screw height reaches the desired state, be sure to tighten the adjustment shaft screws.


Regarding the adjustment of the scraper position, we suggest performing this operation when replacing the screw. Typically, the distance between the scraper and the screw should be maintained at around 20 millimeters (refer to the diagram for specific measurements). To adjust, first loosen the scraper screws, then push the scraper up or down to the desired position based on your needs, and finally tighten the scraper screws.

As for adjusting the photoelectric switch, we have accurately adjusted its sensitivity before leaving the factory. However, if you find that the current setting does not meet your requirements, you can make slight adjustments yourself. The specific operation method is to press the "Settings" key on the keyboard to display "bSZ" on the left window, then use a screwdriver to rotate the screw at the rear of the photoelectric switch while covering the photoelectric switch with your hand. The red indicator light will illuminate. Once the distance is adjusted to the appropriate level, press the "Exit" key again to return to normal working mode.

The working principle of the powder packaging machine covers the following key steps:

  1. Accurate Quantitative Flow Control: Before starting the packaging process, the powder packaging machine rigorously measures the quantity of powder for each package to ensure consistent balance in the amount of powder in each bag. This is typically achieved through a predetermined volume or weight measurement method. If a fixed volume measurement method is adopted, the machine relies on mechanisms such as rotating screws or blades to control the flow of powder; if a weight measurement method is chosen, the powder is monitored and precisely adjusted in real-time by weighing sensors.
  2. Fine Bag Filling Process: After precise measurement, the powder is filled into prepared bags. When the bag moves to a specific filling area, the valve opens automatically to allow the powder to flow into the bag. Once the filling is complete, the valve closes automatically. During this process, it is crucial to ensure that the powder is evenly distributed inside the bag.
  3. Rigorous Sealing Operation: Filled bags must undergo tight sealing to prevent powder leakage. The sealing process typically employs two techniques: heat sealing or cold sealing, with the specific choice depending on the bag material and type of powder.

In addition, the powder packaging machine is equipped with a precision control system. For example, the electronic scale provides weight feedback through weighing sensors, and the microcomputer controller adjusts motor speed and drop height based on this data to achieve precise measurement. The powder packaging machine is suitable for packaging various powdered products, including pharmaceuticals, milk powder, coffee, and more, with high accuracy and reliability.

Precise Quantitative Flow Control

Before commencing the packaging process, it's essential to accurately measure the powder to ensure consistent quantities in each bag. To achieve this, powder packaging machines typically employ either fixed-volume or weight-based measurement methods.

In the fixed-volume method, the packaging machine utilizes devices like rotating screws or blades to lift or compress the powder, which is then conveyed into the bags. On the other hand, in the weight-based method, the packaging machine utilizes weight sensors for precise measurement. These sensors automatically adjust the powder's weight to ensure consistency in each bag's 

Meticulous Bag Filling Process

Next, the packaging machine will fill the powder into the pre-prepared bags. Before filling, the bags need to be moved to the designated filling area, where the valve is then opened downward to allow the powder to flow into the bag. Once the filling operation is complete, the valve will automatically close.

During the powder filling process, it's crucial to ensure that the entire bag is uniformly filled without any irregularities. Accumulation of powder inside the bag should be avoided as the uniform distribution of powder inside the bag directly impacts the quality of the packaging and the density of the powder.

Rigorous Sealing Procedure

After filling is complete, it's essential to seal the bags tightly to prevent powder spillage. Packaging machines typically utilize two techniques for sealing: heat sealing or cold sealing.

During heat sealing, the bag is guided to the position of the heat sealing strip, where it undergoes sealing. On the other hand, cold sealing involves sealing by pressing the bag tightly. The choice between heat sealing and cold sealing depends on the material of the bag and the type of powder being packaged.

Overall, a powder packaging machine achieves powder packaging through a series of processes such as powder measurement, filling, and sealing. With its advanced automation technology and precise measurement methods, powder packaging machines have found wide applications in modern industrial fields.

A powder packaging machine is a comprehensive device specifically designed for packaging powder products. It integrates functions such as measurement, filling, sealing, and conveying. During operation, the powder packing machine follows the basic principles of fixed-volume feeding and static weighing feedback. This machine uses specially designed motors to operate according to preset packaging specifications. Subsequently, the main control board computer calculates the feeding signal based on the preset weight parameters. Once this signal is received, the equipment completes the entire process of feeding and filling at high speed. After filling, the bag filled with material is placed on the weighing feedback platform for the computer to read and compare the corresponding weighing values with theoretical values, and then adjust accordingly. In the next feeding cycle, the equipment operates based on the feedback correction value obtained in the previous cycle. This cycle repeats until the desired measurement effect is achieved. This measurement mode is suitable for various packaging specifications and ensures high accuracy. Powder packaging machines are widely used in the packaging of various powder products such as medicines, milk tea, milk powder, coffee, monosodium glutamate, glucose, solid beverages, plastic particles, and seasonings. For powder materials that are easy to flow or have poor flowability, it can automatically complete a series of complex work processes such as measurement, bag clamping, filling, sealing, bag sewing, and conveying. It has the advantages of high precision, strong reliability, and minimal wear and tear.
