Complete guide to choosing a packaging machine
Why you should rely on expert advice when choosing the ideal packaging machine
Choosing a packaging machine is a strategic investment for any company that wants to optimise production while guaranteeing the quality of the finished product and preserving all its characteristics. However, determining which machine is best suited to your production needs can be complex. Relying on an experienced partner such as Dolphin Pack to provide in-depth initial advice is essential to achieving a tailor-made solution. During the consultation, Dolphin Pack's experts analyse all the customer's specifications and requirements, ensuring that each choice is based on factual data and optimised for the company's real needs. This customer-focused approach delivers significant benefits such as improved operational efficiency, cost reduction and increased market competitiveness.
Key factors to consider when choosing a packaging machine
In order to identify the most suitable packaging machine, it is essential to evaluate a number of key factors, which Dolphin Pack carefully analyses during the consultation phase. Some of the most important aspects are:
1.The type of product to be packed
The nature of the product to be packaged is fundamental to identifying the most suitable machine for the production requirements. For example, bulky items such as sofas require machines capable of handling large dimensions without compromising the structure or quality of the item. In other cases, products that require significant volume reduction, such as compressible mattresses or polyurethane blocks, may require machines with compression capabilities, such as the Levante packaging system, which is specifically designed for packing polyurethane blocks and rolls and is capable of reducing product volume by up to 80%.
2. Production Volume
Production volume is another crucial factor that Dolphin Pack carefully evaluates during the consultation phase. For large volumes, automatic machines offer uniformity and reduce human intervention, ensuring consistent and efficient packaging. An example of this is the Mistral 3B S Series automatic packaging machine, a complete automatic line for packaging sofas that can be fully customised and easily integrated into existing facilities. For smaller or more diversified productions, semi-automatic solutions are a flexible and economical option. One example is the Pressa + Ander Roll semi-automatic packaging machine, which can press and roll single and double mattresses into a pre-formed bag.
Dolphin Pack will help you find the solution that best suits your company's production scale.
3. Packing speed
Packaging speed is a parameter that Dolphin Pack carefully considers to ensure maximum efficiency in order processing. However, speed is balanced with packaging quality to ensure that each product is adequately protected during transport.
4. Space available for packaging line installation
One of the aspects often overlooked is the space available for the installation of the packaging line. Dolphin Pack pays particular attention to the analysis of the production environment in order to integrate the machines in a harmonious and efficient way. Obviously, the ideal configuration involves perfect compatibility between the line and the space available. If specific space adaptations are required, Dolphin Pack is ready to work with you to find the most suitable solution. Space optimisation remains a key factor in ensuring a smooth workflow and easy machine maintenance.
5. Flexibility and versatility
In a constantly changing market, the ability to adapt quickly to new requirements is essential to remain competitive. Dolphin Pack carefully evaluates the flexibility of machines during the consultancy phase, selecting solutions that can adapt to different formats and sizes to meet different packaging requirements.
In addition, the ability to perform multiple operations, such as compression and rolling, is a great advantage for companies that need more versatility. An example of a highly versatile system is the Etesian packaging machine, which offers different modes of operation: packaging only; packaging with compression and rolling; and, for maximum flexibility, packaging with compression, folding and rolling.
