"Traditional packaging equipment in the field of bone meal feed is like embroidering with boxing gloves, always lacking the accuracy of the last stitch." said Mr. Chen, technical consultant of ply-pack factory, at the customer case sharing meeting. This sentence accurately summarizes the pain points of high-protein bone meal feed packaging - it must deal with the high water content of 35% and avoid cross-contamination of trace elements, which poses new challenges to the sealing, accuracy and flexibility of feed packaging machines.
In the ply-pack experimental workshop, the feed packaging machine equipped with the third-generation intelligent weighing system is undergoing extreme testing. Faced with bone meal raw materials with significant differences in fluidity, the equipment uses multi-band vibration screening and air pressure compensation technology to ensure that the error of each bag is stably controlled within ±5 grams. The AI algorithm built into this system can autonomously learn the characteristics of raw materials. Even active bone meal feed mixed with probiotics can achieve high-speed packaging of 12 bags per minute under 42°C constant temperature packaging conditions. After observing the site, the technical director of an aquatic feed company sighed: "In the past, 20% of the packaging bags were manually sampled. Now the weighing data fed back by the equipment in real time directly replaces two-thirds of the quality inspection process."
In response to the trend of diversified bone meal feed formulas, ply-pack has innovatively launched a modular customization solution. The "building block hopper" developed by the engineering team supports customers to freely combine volume units. From single bone meal to mixed packaging of compound additives, production line switching can be achieved by quickly replacing modules. Last month, a dual-channel feed packaging machine customized for a biological feed company in the southwest successfully reduced the synchronous packaging error of expanded bone meal and vitamin premix to less than 0.8%, helping the company overcome the technical bottleneck of uneven distribution of trace elements. This flexible production capacity has shortened the equipment delivery cycle from 45 days to 27 days, and increased the response efficiency of customers' urgent orders by 60%.
In the context of tightening environmental protection policies in the industry, ply-pack's green packaging solution has become the key to breaking the deadlock. The newly developed fully sealed feed packaging machine adopts an air cushion feeding structure, and realizes powder suspension transportation through a positive and negative pressure alternating system, suppressing the packaging dust emission rate to below 0.3%. What is more noteworthy is the breakthrough in low-temperature heat sealing technology - using a bio-based composite film to complete the sealing at 80°C, which not only avoids the damage of high temperature to the activity of probiotics, but also shortens the degradation cycle of the packaging bag by 40%. After a Vietnamese feed group introduced this equipment, the shelf life of bone meal feed was extended by 30%, the transportation damage rate was reduced from 1.2% to 0.15%, and the annual packaging loss cost was saved by more than 250,000 US dollars.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the workshop on the high-speed feed packaging machine, and the sensor indicator light flashes regularly, as if beating the rhythm of this packaging revolution. From traditional workshops filled with dust to intelligent production lines with flowing data, ply-pack is using technology to reconstruct the value chain of bone meal feed packaging. As more companies begin to use real-time transmitted packaging parameters to optimize production decisions, this innovation that began with weighing accuracy has evolved into an acceleration in reshaping industry standards.
