In a contemporary manufacturing process, automation is common. Automated packaging machines help manufacturers meet market demands and stay competitive.

 Powder pod packaging machines cut production costs and save time for businesses.

However, they aren't all created equal.

Before purchasing a powder pods packaging machine, you should familiarize yourself with powder packaging automation basics.

 To help you make an informed purchase for your factory or production floor, we'll discuss the must-have features a powder pods packaging machine should have. That way, when you approach a seller, you're informed and confident you're buying the right packaging machine for your business.

Four Features a Powder Pods Packaging Machine Must Have

You should be looking for four vital features when buying a packaging machine for powder detergent pods. These are:

Automation

As the owner of a laundry detergent processing company, you must have an automatic powder pods packaging machine integrated into your business. This machine means you'll never compromise on quality or output.

An advanced powder pods packaging machine powered by cutting-edge technology is designed to effectively manage a high packaging volume in a single day.

This state-of-the-art machine ensures that the production rate is significantly increased while minimizing the risk of packaging errors. With its automated operation and precision, this machine is an excellent investment for any production facility seeking to streamline operations and enhance overall efficiency.

An automatic powder pods packaging machine also allows your company to save labor and human error costs while increasing health and safety on your production floor.

Portability

When considering purchasing a machine for a growing operation, it's important to consider the ease of maneuverability. As your business grows, you may need to relocate to a bigger space, and the machine should be able to move with you. It's advisable to contact the manufacturer to inquire about moving the machine. If disassembling is necessary, it may not be the best choice for your current stage of business.

In fact, for small businesses, you should be able to move any machine you choose without causing any damage or inconvenience.

Capacity

Capacity will determine whether the machine is worth its weight in gold.

Ideally, you should focus on purchasing a PDA high-speed powder packaging machine that has a minimum capacity of 200 units per minute and a maximum of 800 units per minute, allowing your company to grow and maximize workflow instantly.

At maximum capacity, a PDA high-speed powder packaging machine should make 48,000 powder detergent pods in an hour.

In a typical 16-count package of powder detergent pods, a PDA high-speed powder packaging machine will allow you to make as many as 3000 packages an hour.

Maintenance

One cost businesses rarely factor into the cost of purchasing a packaging machine is the machine's maintenance schedule. Before purchasing the machine, you should know:

If the machine requires regular maintenance and tuning, how frequently must that be done?

If the manufacturer has a recommended technician, whether or not using that technician will void warranties.

Whether or not the machine has any known flaws, you might not be able to find that out from the manufacturer but from other businesses who've bought the machine before.

Technical Specifications

But most manufacturers won't use the exact terminology in their brochures or online ads. Instead, you'll learn all you need to know about the process by turning to the technical specs.

These are the technical specs that matter in a PDA high-speed powder packaging machine — the type of machine you should be pursuing.

Minimum and Maximum Capacities

Every manufacturer should include their minimum and maximum capacities in their technical data. You'll know whether that is a worthwhile machine using the abovementioned guidelines.

Forming Drum

The forming drum confirms that the machine can manage the capacity. For example, a packaging machine with a minimum capacity of 240 should have at least 24 columns and ten (10) rows. However, that would likely reduce its maximum capacity. We recommend 48 columns and ten rows for maximum efficiency.

Pack Size

How many grams of product can you fit into one packaged pod? This should be customizable to your needs but have a lower range of 10 grams, allowing you to increase profits through capacity if necessary.

Power Requirements

If you want to calculate the running cost of the machine to better forecast profit, you'll want to take a closer look at the powder pods packaging machine power requirements.

Dimensions

Something many businesses overlook is the dimensions of the machine. The dimensions will help you determine how many machines you can comfortably fit into the space before expanding your quarters.
