In the production chain of food, gift boxes, cosmetics and other industries, the packaging link is not only the last barrier for product protection, but also an intuitive embodiment of brand image. With the upgrading of consumption and the intensification of market competition, enterprises have put forward higher requirements for the efficiency, precision and aesthetics of packaging. Traditional transparent film packaging equipment generally has problems such as slow speed, poor stability and cumbersome product change, which are difficult to meet the needs of modern production. Relying on core technologies such as eight-servo high-speed drive, imported PLC control system and intelligent parameter formula storage, Longying LY-450 transparent film 3D packaging machine provides enterprises with an efficient, stable and intelligent packaging solution, redefining the industry standard for transparent film 3D packaging.
Longying LY-450 Transparent Film 3D Packaging Machine
Pain Points in the Packaging Industry and the Urgency of Transformation
Transparent film 3D packaging is widely used in the outer packaging of food gift boxes, cosmetics sets, health care product gift boxes and other products because it can endow products with a neat and high-grade appearance and has moisture-proof and dust-proof protection functions. However, the technical shortcomings of traditional packaging equipment are becoming a bottleneck restricting the development of enterprises.
In terms of production efficiency, the packaging speed of traditional equipment is generally 800-1000 boxes per hour, and it is prone to problems such as film deviation and irregular corners when running at high speed, resulting in lower actual effective production capacity. During peak festival seasons, such as the eve of the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, the order volume of food gift box enterprises surges, and delivery delays due to insufficient equipment production capacity have become the norm. A certain mooncake enterprise was forced to give up 15% of its orders before the Mid-Autumn Festival because the packaging line speed could not keep up with the production rhythm, resulting in a direct loss of more than 2 million yuan.
Stability and precision are another major pain point. Traditional equipment mostly uses relay control or low-end PLC, which has insufficient control precision over film tension and conveying speed. During the packaging process, defective products such as film wrinkles, film breaks and warped corners often appear. According to industry statistics, the packaging qualification rate of traditional equipment is only 92%-95%. A large number of reworks not only increase production costs, but also affect the continuity of production plans. A cosmetics enterprise’s calculation shows that the rework rate caused by unqualified packaging reaches 8%, and the annual waste of film materials and labor costs exceeds 500,000 yuan.
Cumbersome product change also plagues production enterprises. When it is necessary to switch products of different specifications, traditional equipment requires manual adjustment of more than a dozen parameters, including film tension, conveying track width, corner position, etc. The whole process takes 30-60 minutes and requires skilled workers to operate. For enterprises with multi-variety and small-batch production, the accumulated downtime caused by frequent product changes will reduce the effective utilization rate of equipment by 20%-30%.
In addition, with the increase of labor costs and the advancement of intelligent workshop transformation, enterprises have increasingly higher requirements for the automation and intelligence level of equipment. Traditional equipment relies on manual monitoring and adjustment, and it is difficult to integrate into the digital production system, becoming an obstacle for enterprises to realize intelligent manufacturing. In this context, the launch of Longying LY-450 transparent film 3D packaging machine accurately hits the industry’s pain points and provides strong support for the upgrading of the packaging link.
Core Technology Analysis: Perfect Integration of Eight-Servo Drive and Intelligent Control
The excellent performance of Longying LY-450 transparent film 3D packaging machine stems from its breakthrough in core technologies, especially the synergy of eight-servo high-speed drive system, imported PLC control system and intelligent parameter formula storage function, which realizes the comprehensive improvement of packaging efficiency, precision and intelligence.
The eight-servo high-speed drive system is the “power core” of the equipment. Traditional equipment mostly uses 3-4 servo motors to drive multiple actuators through mechanical transmission, which has problems of response lag and poor synchronization. Longying LY-450 innovatively adopts 8 independent servo motors to control key links such as film feeding, traction, corner folding and heat sealing respectively. The actions of each mechanism realize millisecond-level synchronization through bus communication. This design enables the theoretical packaging speed of the equipment to reach 1500 boxes per hour, and the actual running speed is stable above 1400 boxes per hour, which is 40%-50% higher than that of traditional equipment. At the same time, the precise control of the servo motor ensures the constant tension of the film. Even when running at high speed, the film can remain flat, and the corner error is controlled within ±0.5mm, and the packaging qualification rate is increased to more than 99.5%.
The imported PLC control system constitutes the “brain” of the equipment. Longying LY-450 adopts the German Siemens S7-1200 series PLC, combined with a 10.1-inch high-definition touch screen, to realize precise control and visual operation of the entire packaging process. The PLC has strong data processing capability and anti-interference performance, and can maintain stable operation even in the complex electromagnetic environment of the workshop. The mean time between failures (MTBF) reaches 300 hours, which is much higher than the industry average of 150 hours. The operation interface adopts a graphical design, simplifying complex parameter settings into intuitive sliders and buttons. Ordinary workers can operate independently after 1 hour of training, which greatly reduces the dependence on skilled workers.
The intelligent parameter formula storage function is the key to improving the efficiency of product change. The equipment has a built-in 100 sets of parameter formula storage units, which can save a full set of parameters such as film feeding speed, corner position and heat sealing temperature for products of different specifications (such as length 100-300mm, width 50-200mm, height 20-100mm). When product change is needed, the operator only needs to call the corresponding formula on the touch screen, and the equipment will automatically adjust all parameters. The whole process takes only 30 seconds, saving more than 90% of the product change time compared with traditional equipment. A gift box manufacturing enterprise has more than 20 product specifications. After using this equipment, the time saved due to product change can reach 2 hours a day, which is equivalent to increasing the effective production time by 15%.
In addition, the equipment is also equipped with a number of intelligent detection and protection functions: the film material 余量 detection system automatically warns when the film material is about to run out to avoid empty packaging; the heat sealing temperature abnormality detection can monitor the temperature of the heat sealing knife in real time to prevent film coking caused by excessive temperature; the product positioning detection ensures that packaging is started only when the product is accurately in place, reducing invalid actions. These functions further improve the stability and reliability of the equipment.
Performance Advantages: Triple Empowerment of Efficiency, Quality and Cost
The performance advantages of Longying LY-450 transparent film 3D packaging machine are not only reflected in the leading technical parameters, but also transformed into tangible production benefits for enterprises, bringing significant value in three aspects: efficiency improvement, quality improvement and cost control.
In terms of efficiency improvement, the high speed and fast product change capability of the equipment are directly transformed into a leap in production capacity. Calculated based on 8 hours of effective production time per day, the daily production capacity of Longying LY-450 can reach 11,200 boxes, which is 40% higher than that of traditional equipment (8,000 boxes). A food enterprise used 2 LY-450 packaging machines during the peak production season before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and produced 30% more products than 3 traditional equipment in previous years, successfully digesting all orders. The fast product change function makes multi-variety production efficient. A cosmetics enterprise producing 10 different specifications of gift box sets reduced the total product change time from 5 hours to 1 hour after using LY-450, and the equipment utilization rate increased from 60% to 85%.
The improvement of packaging quality brings the appreciation of brand value to enterprises. The products packaged by Longying LY-450 have a flat and wrinkle-free film surface, straight and symmetrical corners, and the gloss of the transparent film can better highlight the high-grade texture of the products. After a high-end mooncake brand introduced this equipment, the packaging defect rate dropped from 10% to 0.5%, customer complaints about packaging quality were almost zero, and the product premium capacity increased by 15%. At the same time, the equipment supports personalized processes such as embossing and gold stamping, and can press brand logos or patterns on the transparent film, further enhancing the recognition and aesthetics of the product, and helping enterprises create a differentiated competitive advantage.
In terms of cost control, the equipment achieves a reduction in comprehensive costs by reducing waste and improving efficiency. The film material loss rate has dropped from 8% of traditional equipment to less than 3%. Based on 20,000 yuan per ton of film material, an enterprise with an annual production capacity of 1 million boxes can save 100,000 yuan in film material costs every year. In terms of labor costs, one LY-450 can replace 2 packaging workers, saving more than 100,000 yuan in labor costs annually. In addition, the energy consumption of the equipment is 20% lower than that of traditional equipment. Coupled with the reduction in maintenance costs due to low failure rates, the investment payback period of the equipment is only 10-12 months.
The durability and adaptability of the equipment are also important advantages. The machine body is welded with 8mm thick steel plates, and key components such as servo motors and bearings are selected from internationally renowned brands. After 1000 hours of continuous operation testing, the performance attenuation rate is less than 5%, ensuring long-term stable operation. The equipment can be adapted to various transparent film materials such as BOPP, PVC and PET, with a thickness range of 0.015-0.03mm, meeting the packaging needs of different products.

Customer Case: Transformation from Production Capacity Bottleneck to Industry Benchmark
The transformation process of a comprehensive food enterprise vividly illustrates the value of Longying LY-450 transparent film 3D packaging machine. The enterprise mainly produces gift box products such as mooncakes, zongzi and pastries, with an annual sales volume of about 200 million yuan. Before introducing LY-450, the enterprise used 3 traditional transparent film packaging machines and faced three major problems for a long time: first, insufficient production capacity in peak seasons. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2022, due to the slow packaging speed, it was forced to push away 1 million orders; second, unstable packaging quality. About 8% of the products needed to be reworked due to film wrinkles and warped corners, wasting about 600,000 yuan in film materials and labor costs every year; third, cumbersome product change. The cumulative time for changing more than 10 gift box specifications is 3 hours a day, and the equipment utilization rate is low.
At the beginning of 2023, the enterprise introduced 2 Longying LY-450 transparent film 3D packaging machines, and the production situation was completely changed. In terms of production capacity, the daily production capacity of 2 LY-450s reached 22,400 boxes, exceeding the 18,000 boxes of the original 3 traditional equipment. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2023, it not only completed all orders, but also added 500,000 yuan in sales. In terms of quality, the packaging qualification rate increased to 99.6%, the rework cost was almost zero, and the film material loss saved 300,000 yuan every year. The improvement of product change efficiency was even more surprising. The product change time for more than 10 specifications was shortened from 3 hours a day to 30 minutes, and the effective utilization rate of the equipment increased from 65% to 90%.
More importantly, the improvement of packaging quality has enhanced the market competitiveness of products.
