Pillow Packaging Machine: A High-Efficiency Solution for Industrial Parts Packaging, Adaptable to Multiple Scenarios and

In the final stage of industrial production, parts packaging not only addresses protection needs during transportation and storage but also impacts product delivery quality and brand image. Pillow packaging machines, with their core advantages of high speed and stability, wide adaptability, and high automation, have become the mainstream equipment for packaging industrial parts such as screws, nuts, hardware accessories, and electronic components. Their application scenarios and core value can be analyzed in detail from the following dimensions:

By flexibly adjusting packaging parameters and supporting devices, pillow packaging machines can meet the packaging needs of different types of industrial parts. Common adaptable scenarios include:

• Small Standard Parts:
  Screws, nuts, bolts, washers, pins, etc., enabling single-piece or multi-piece group packaging (e.g., 10 pieces/group, 50 pieces/group). (Sets), and can also be equipped with counting devices for precise quantitative packaging;
• Hardware accessories:
  Hinges, handles, small hardware tools (screwdriver heads, wrench accessories), stamped parts, etc., suitable for scratch-proof and oxidation-proof packaging of irregularly shaped parts;
• Electronic components:
  Precision parts such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, connectors, and terminals, can be equipped with anti-static film and moisture-proof film for protective packaging to avoid the effects of static electricity and humidity during transportation;
• Small mechanical parts:
  Gears, bearings, bushings, sealing rings, etc., supporting individual packaging or set packaging (such as bearing + sealing ring set packaging);
• Irregularly shaped parts:
  Through customized feeding devices (such as vibratory feeders, pushing mechanisms), it can adapt to irregularly shaped parts with sharp edges and corners to avoid jamming and damage during packaging.

The continuous packaging design of pillow packaging machines allows packaging speeds of 30-300 packs/minute (adjusted according to machine model and part specifications), far exceeding the efficiency of manual packaging. Especially for mass-produced standard parts (such as screws and resistors), it can significantly shorten the packaging cycle, adapt to the continuous output requirements of industrial production lines, and prevent the packaging process from becoming a bottleneck in production capacity.

Equipped with a PLC control system and photoelectric sensors, it can precisely control the packaging length, sealing position, and feeding speed, ensuring that the packaging specifications of each package of parts are uniform (e.g., bag length error ±1mm). At the same time, it supports quantitative counting packaging (with electronic scales and counting sensors), avoiding the problems of missing or overpacking in manual packaging, improving delivery accuracy, and reducing after-sales disputes.

Industrial parts are prone to oxidation, corrosion, scratches, and dust contamination during transportation and warehousing. Pillow-type packaging machines can upgrade protection through the following methods:

• Material compatibility:
  Supports various packaging materials such as PE film, PP film, composite film, antistatic film, and moisture-proof film, allowing selection based on part characteristics (e.g., rust-proof film for metal parts, antistatic film for precision electronic components);
• Sealing performance:
  Heat-sealing temperature and pressure can be precisely adjusted to achieve a tight seal, isolating air, moisture, and dust, extending the shelf life of parts;
• Cushioning protection:
  Can be used in conjunction with bubble wrap, pearl cotton, and other cushioning materials for simultaneous packaging, preventing damage to irregularly shaped or sharp parts during transportation.

• Automated integration, reducing labor costs:
  Seamlessly integrates with front-end production lines (such as parts stamping machines and injection molding machines) and back-end sorting equipment (such as vibrating screeners and counting machines), achieving full automation of the "parts production - sorting - counting - packaging - unloading" process. No manual intervention is required in feeding, sealing, and cutting processes, reducing labor costs and avoiding contamination and scratches caused by human contact.

• Adjustable packaging specifications:
  Quickly adjust bag length, width, and sealing method (three-side seal, four-side seal) via touchscreen to accommodate everything from small parts a few millimeters to irregularly shaped items over ten centimeters.
• Function expansion:
  Supports customized functions such as coding, labeling, easy-tear openings, and ventilation holes. Production dates, batch numbers, and specifications can be printed on the packaging film for easy product traceability and management.
• Small footprint:
  Compared to traditional packaging equipment, the pillow packaging machine has a compact structure, suitable for workshop production line layouts, and especially suitable for the space requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises.

• Automotive Parts Industry:
  Group packaging for automotive screws, clips, and small hardware accessories, with each package containing a fixed quantity based on assembly needs (e.g., 5 door panel clips per package for a specific model), facilitating downstream assembly workshop use and improving assembly efficiency.
• Electronics and Electrical Appliances Industry:
  Providing anti-static packaging for precision parts such as router terminals, mobile phone charging port accessories, and resistors and capacitors for home appliances, preventing electrostatic discharge damage to components, while also enabling individual packaging of each part for easier warehousing management and retrieval.
• Hardware Tools Industry:
  Packaging for products such as screwdriver heads, wrench accessories, and hinge handles, using colored printed film to enhance the product's appearance and texture, while sealing the packaging to prevent rust and oxidation.
• Machinery Manufacturing Industry:
  Providing individual packaging for mechanical parts such as gears, bearings, and seals, preventing scratches on the surface coating of the parts, and labeling specifications for easy retrieval on the production line.

• Part Characteristic Matching:
  Select suitable packaging materials and protective functions (rust prevention, anti-static, cushioning) based on the part material (metal, plastic, precision electronic components);
• Capacity Requirements:
  Select packaging speed based on daily output (30-100 packs/minute for small enterprises, 150-300 packs/minute for large enterprises);
• Function Expansion:
  Select code printing function for traceability management, anti-static device for precision parts, and counting/weighing integrated module for quantitative packaging;
• Material Compatibility:
  Ensure the equipment supports the required packaging film materials (such as composite film, rust-proof film) to avoid problems such as insecure sealing.

In summary, pillow packaging machines, with their core advantages of "high-efficiency automation + precise protection + flexible adaptation," perfectly solve the pain points of "low efficiency, poor consistency, and insufficient protection" in industrial parts packaging, and have become an indispensable packaging equipment in industrial production. Whether it's mass-produced standard parts or customized irregularly shaped parts, pillow packaging machines can achieve a dual improvement in packaging quality and production efficiency, helping enterprises reduce costs and optimize supply chain management.
