I. Manual carton packaging stage
Before the emergence of automated carton packaging technology, carton packaging mainly relies on manual operation.The early carton production and packaging process is relatively primitive, mainly relying on manual cutting, folding, packing and sealing of cardboard and other steps.
?
The characteristics of manual packaging
Manual carton packaging is characterized by high flexibility, but low production efficiency, and it is difficult to ensure the consistency of packaging quality.At this stage, cartons are mainly used for some products with low packaging requirements, such as ceramics, cans, fiber products and so on.With the expansion of market demand, manual carton packaging is gradually applied to more fields, but its limitations are also increasingly apparent.
?
II. The Development of Automated Carton Packaging
With the rise of industrial automation, people began to explore how to packing process automation.In the 1970s, the emergence of automatic packing machine marked the carton packaging into the automation stage.
?
1. Origin and development of automatic packing machine
The core function of the automatic packing machine is to automatically load products into cartons or other packaging containers.Its working principle mainly includes the following steps: product delivery, carton supply, product packing, sealing and output.The emergence of automatic packing machine has greatly improved the efficiency and quality of packaging, reduced manual intervention, and reduced production costs.
?
2. Technical progress of automatic carton packaging
With the continuous progress of technology, automatic carton packaging equipment has made significant progress in intelligence, multi-function, environmental protection and energy saving.For example, modern carton packaging machines achieve more intelligent recognition and adjustment by integrating more sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms;It can adapt to more kinds of products and packaging requirements, and improve the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.The environmental impact is reduced by using more environmentally friendly materials and energy-saving technologies.
?
3. Application fields of automated carton packaging
Automatic packing machine is widely used in many industries, mainly including food industry (such as automatic packing of beverages, cans, snacks and other products), beverage industry (such as beer, mineral water, etc.), pharmaceutical industry (automatic packing of drugs and medical products), chemical industry (packing of chemicals and industrial raw materials) and electronic industry (packing of electronic products and accessories).

III. Advantages of Automated Carton Packaging
Enhance production efficiency
Automatic carton packaging machine can run at high speed, significantly improve production efficiency, especially in large-scale production line performance is particularly prominent.Compared with manual packaging, machine packaging speed, higher stability, can greatly improve the production efficiency.Carton packaging machine can achieve continuous packaging, effectively reduce the physical labor intensity of workers, and under the premise of ensuring high-quality packaging, it can quickly complete the packaging task of a large number of products.
?
Ensure product quality
Through the advanced measurement and control system, the automatic packaging machine can ensure the consistency of packaging weight, size and sealing of each product, reducing errors in human operation.The automatic sealing machine adopts advanced sealing technology, which can ensure that each box is closed tightly and avoid the shaking and collision of products in the transportation process due to loose packaging, thereby reducing the damage rate. The sealing method of the machine is highly consistent, which can ensure that the quality of each sealed box meets the standard and reduce the errors caused by manual operation.
?
Reduce labor costs
Automated packaging machines have replaced manual operations, reducing enterprises' reliance on labor. In the long run, they can save labor costs.The emergence of the sealing and packing machine integrates the two processes of "sealing + packing" into one equipment, and the goods enter from one end and exit from the other end, and the whole process is automatically completed, which completely changes the inefficient mode of decentralized operation and reduces the dependence on manual work.
?
Enhance hygiene standards
In food, medicine and other industries with high hygiene requirements, automatic packaging machines can reduce the contact with materials in the packaging process and ensure the safety and hygiene standards of product packaging.
?
Simple operation, convenient maintenance
Modern automatic packaging machines are usually equipped with touch screens and human-computer interaction interfaces, which are easy to operate.At the same time, the equipment usually has a self-diagnostic function and the maintenance is relatively simple.
?
Strong adaptability, flexible to deal with multiple specifications
The automatic packaging machine can be adjusted and set according to the requirements of different products to adapt to a variety of specifications and shapes of product packaging.By adjusting the parameters of the machine, carton packaging of different sizes can be realized, so as to meet the packaging needs of different products.
?
Reduce the waste of packaging materials
Automatic packaging machine uses accurate measurement and control technology, according to the real size and weight of the product, accurately select the appropriate packaging material, minimize waste, improve the economy and sustainability of packaging.
?
Interact with other automated equipment
The automatic sealing machine can be linked with other automation equipment to realize the automation of the whole packaging process.Through the cooperation with conveyor belts, balers and other equipment, enterprises can realize the integration from product production to final packaging, reduce manual intervention, and improve the operation efficiency of the entire production line.
?

IV. Summary
The development process from manual carton packaging to automated carton packaging is a reflection of the continuous progress of packaging technology.Manual carton packaging stage although flexible, but inefficient;The automatic carton packaging through mechanical and electronic devices work together to achieve automatic packing and sealing of products, greatly improving the production efficiency and packaging quality.In the future, with the further development of intelligent, multi-functional, environmental protection and energy saving technology, automatic carton packaging equipment will be more efficient, intelligent and environmentally friendly, and provide better packaging solutions for various industries.
