Why should vegetables be packaged?

With the development of the economy, the green food industry has become a trend. And more and more people are paying attention to food’s health and environmental protection. After harvesting, vegetables are easy to rot and spoilage if not packaged promptly during transportation. Therefore, timely packaging before transportation ensures the freshness of vegetables and reduces losses caused by vegetable damage and spoilage.

Vegetables are packaged using food-grade plastic film through flow wrapping machines immediately after harvesting. During packaging, hole punches are made in the packaging film by vegetable packaging machines to ensure the vegetables remain breathable during transportation, thereby maintaining their freshness.

 

What is a vegetable packaging machine?

The fruit vegetable packaging machine is a mechanical equipment specifically designed for packaging fresh vegetables and fruits. We can use a down film machine to pack vegetables without trays, which feeds leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, and bok choy. This machine model can simultaneously pack vegetables of different lengths, with full servo electrical control. And we can use a top film flow wrap machine to pack fruits and vegetables with trays. 

Difference between Top and Down Film Packaging Machines:

Both top and down film packaging machines belong to the category of flow packaging machines. 

The top film packaging machine refers to the packaging film placed above the packaging machine. The seal is at the bottom of the bag, which is suitable for packaging whole or solid products. 

The down film packaging machine refers to the packaging film placed below the packaging machine. The seal is on the top of the bag, which is suitable for packaging relatively scattered and irregularly shaped products.

Down film packaging machines can be equipped with various conveyors, including conveyor belts, chain pushers for feeding, and rear-pull film feeding, while upward film packaging machines only have chain pusher feeding, making downward film packaging machines more versatile.

The necessity of using a vegetable wrapping machine. 

With the development of e-commerce platforms, more and more platforms and companies are choosing pillow packaging machines to package vegetables, fruits, meats, and other products. Vegetables such as lettuce, onions, potatoes, green beans, apples, oranges, grapefruits, kiwis, and bananas are packaged and labeled. The necessity of packaging fruits, vegetables, and other food products mainly includes the following points:

1. Packaging fruits and vegetables in bags can reduce damage during distribution, protecting them from pressure and impact. Without packaging, they may be damaged during transportation, affecting their appearance, taste, and sales.

2. Packaging fruits and vegetables in bags can maximize their freshness and preserve their original nutrients for a certain period.

3. Some well-known brands affix their own anti-counterfeiting labels to enhance product impression and prevent counterfeiting, safeguarding consumer rights.

4. Automatic pillow packaging machines for fruits and vegetables do not require manual bagging, enabling 24-hour continuous automatic bagging at a fast speed, greatly improving packaging efficiency.

 

Advantages of Fruit Vegetable Packaging Machines:

Pillow vegetable packaging machines can package various sizes of vegetables. Operators place vegetables on the conveyor belt, and the machine can sensitively detect their length, automatically setting the corresponding bag length and packaging speed for each process. The operation is simple and efficient, ensuring that vegetables are undamaged throughout the packaging process. Each bag of vegetables has a consistent appearance and specification.

1. No limit on packaging length, use of advanced fiber optic sensors, automatic recognition of product length, automatic sealing and cutting of packaging bags, and perforation capability.

2. There is no need to fix the product position. Automatic recognition of packaging spacing through sensors.

3. Infinite variable speed function achieved through servo-controlled feeding and film feeding structure, making operation simpler.

4. Control adopts adjustable procedures, allowing system control point upgrades according to user needs.

 

Application Range of Pillow Vegetable Packaging Machines:

The vegetable pillow packaging machine is suitable for packaging various long-shaped vegetables such as spinach, amaranth, bok choy, celery, lettuce, Brassica napus, broccoli, radish, eggplant, cabbage, chili, asparagus, cucumber, scallion, leek, segmented vegetables, etc.
