With the surging demand for large-size and combined packaging products in the consumer market, packaging equipment is facing the triple challenges of “larger size, higher efficiency, and more stable quality”. Based on the LY-380, Longying has launched the LY-450 transparent film 3D packaging machine, which has become the preferred equipment to solve the packaging problems of large-size products with its breakthrough ultra-large packaging range, upgraded intelligent control system, and stronger production adaptability. Whether it is the combined packaging of home appliance accessories or the gift box sets of alcohol and beverages, the LY-450 can efficiently and stably help enterprises 打通 the key links of large-scale production.
I. Core Performance Breakthroughs of LY-450
(1) Ultra-Large Packaging Range, Adapting to Large Products
The most prominent advantage of Longying LY-450 lies in its breakthrough packaging size compatibility. The equipment can handle products with a length of 80-500mm, a width of 50-300mm, and a height of 20-200mm. Compared with the maximum size of LY-380, it has increased by more than 60%, easily handling large-size products such as combined packaging of barrel instant noodles, home appliance remote control sets, and 6-bottle alcohol gift boxes. Its feeding conveyor belt width is expanded to 550mm, and with the liftable guide baffle, it can stably convey heavy products weighing up to 5kg, solving the problems of “material jamming” and “displacement” of large-size and heavy products by traditional equipment.
For irregularly shaped products, such as special-shaped health product gift boxes and multi-piece kitchenware sets, the adaptive clamping system of LY-450 can adjust the clamping force in real-time through pressure sensors to ensure that the products do not shake or shift during packaging. A certain alcohol enterprise used this equipment to package 4-bottle white wine gift boxes (size 380mm × 250mm × 180mm), and the packaging qualification rate increased from 82% of traditional equipment to 99.2%.
(2) Efficient and Stable Operation, Production Capacity Reaching New Heights
In the field of large-size product packaging, the speed performance of LY-450 is also impressive: the maximum packaging speed can reach 300 packs per minute. Although it is slightly lower than the limit speed of LY-380, it is in a leading position among large-size packaging equipment of the same level. Calculated by running 16 hours a day, the annual production capacity can reach 14 million pieces, fully meeting the mass production needs of medium and large enterprises.
The equipment adopts a three-servo motor drive system, which controls the film feeding, conveying, and folding actions respectively. With the high-precision reducer imported from Germany, it ensures synchronization during high-speed operation. Even when packaging 3kg rice gift boxes continuously for 12 hours, the operating noise of the equipment is still controlled below 75 decibels, which is 15% lower than that of similar equipment in the industry, improving the workshop working environment.
(3) Intelligent Upgrade, More Convenient Operation and Maintenance
LY-450 is equipped with Longying’s independently developed fourth-generation intelligent control system, with a 12.1-inch touch screen, supporting multi-touch and gesture zoom operations. The system has a built-in memory library of 200 sets of product parameters and adds a “one-click test packaging” function – operators only need to input the product size, and the equipment can automatically match the best parameters and complete 3 test packages, shortening the commissioning time of the new production line from 3 minutes of LY-380 to 1.5 minutes.
The equipment adds a remote diagnosis module, which can transmit operation data to Longying service center in real-time through 4G network. Engineers can remotely troubleshoot more than 80% of faults, and the response time is shortened from the traditional 4 hours to 1 hour. A food enterprise had a film deviation fault in the early morning production. Through remote diagnosis, engineers guided the parameter adjustment within 15 minutes, reducing the shutdown loss by about 20,000 yuan.
II. In-Depth Adaptation Scenarios in Multiple Industries
(1) Alcohol and Beverage Industry: Stable Packaging of Heavy Gift Boxes
The large-size gift box packaging in the alcohol and beverage industry has extremely high requirements for equipment stability. In view of the fragile characteristics of glass bottled alcohol, LY-450 is designed with a “flexible conveying channel”, which uses food-grade silicone rollers instead of traditional metal conveyor belts to reduce hard collisions between products and equipment. Its heat-sealing system adopts zonal temperature control technology, which can set different temperatures (adjustable from 80-220℃) for the top, bottom, and sides of the gift box, ensuring that the edges and corners of the thick cardboard gift box are tightly sealed, while avoiding high-temperature damage to the bottle label.
After a beer enterprise introduced LY-450 to package 6-bottle beer gift boxes, the daily production capacity of a single production line increased from 80,000 boxes to 120,000 boxes, and the return rate caused by packaging damage decreased by 90%.
(2) Home and Appliance Industry: Efficient Packaging of Large Products
In the field of home building materials, LY-450 can package combined sets of switches and sockets, small hardware tool sets, and other products. The equipment supports the use of wear-resistant transparent films up to 100μm. With the reinforced heat-sealing knife, it can form a 3mm wide reinforced sealing edge on the film surface, with the tear resistance increased by 40%, meeting the packaging needs of large products for long-distance transportation.
A certain home appliance enterprise used this equipment to package the combined gift box of remote control and battery (size 280mm × 180mm × 60mm). Through the “anti-scratch” mode of the equipment, it automatically avoids the display screen on the surface of the remote control during packaging, ensuring no scratches on the product, and the quality inspection pass rate is increased to 99.8%.
(3) Food and Health Product Industry: Precise Packaging of Combined Sets
For food products such as large biscuit gift boxes and health product combined sets, the food safety design of LY-450 is more considerate. The parts in contact with food are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, which can withstand high-temperature steam disinfection at 130℃; the lubrication system of the equipment uses food-grade lubricating oil to avoid dripping and polluting products. Its film traction mechanism is treated with anti-stick coating, which can effectively prevent the adhesion of residues of sugary and oily foods and reduce the frequency of cleaning.
When a health product enterprise packaged bird’s nest gift boxes (containing 6 bottles of bird’s nest and 1 stewing cup), the AI vision system of LY-450 could accurately identify the empty space in the gift box, automatically adjust the folding angle, ensure that the film perfectly fits the irregular contour, and the display effect of the packaged gift box on the shelf was significantly improved.
III. Core Values Created for Enterprises
(1) Expand Product Lines and Seize the Large-Size Market
The ultra-large packaging capacity of LY-450 provides equipment support for enterprises to expand their product lines. A leisure food enterprise launched a “family sharing package” potato chip gift box (containing 4 bags of different flavors of potato chips) with the help of this equipment, and the sales volume exceeded 500,000 boxes within 3 months of listing, becoming a new profit growth point. Large-size packaging can not only reduce the packaging cost per unit product (15%-20% lower than single-package packaging) but also increase the customer unit price through combined sales, creating higher benefits for enterprises.
(2) Reduce Labor Costs and Improve Management Efficiency
Traditional large-size product packaging mostly relies on manual film covering and edge sealing. A production line requires 6-8 workers, and the efficiency is low. LY-450 realizes full automatic operation, requiring only 1 operator to monitor the equipment operation. Calculated by an average monthly salary of 6,000 yuan per person, enterprises can save 360,000-500,000 yuan in labor costs every year.
The equipment supports docking with the enterprise ERP system, which can automatically count daily packaging quantity, film consumption, and other data, generate production reports, and reduce errors and workload of manual statistics. After a home furnishing enterprise introduced this equipment, the management efficiency of the packaging workshop was improved by 40%, and the response speed of production plan adjustment was accelerated.
(3) Strengthen Packaging Quality and Enhance Brand Image
Large-size products are often oriented to the mid-to-high-end market, and packaging quality directly affects the brand image. The precise folding and sealing technology of LY-450 makes the packaging edges and corners flat without wrinkles, and the film is closely attached to the product, improving the display grade of the product. A high-end tea brand used this equipment to package “gift box tea sets”. The packaged products received extensive attention from dealers at the exhibition, and the order quantity increased by 35% year-on-year.
IV. Detailed Explanation of Technological Innovation Points
(1) Double-Station Folding Mechanism
LY-450 innovatively adopts a double-station folding design. The front station is responsible for the initial folding of the bottom and sides of the product, and the rear station performs fine shaping of the top and edges, so that the folding accuracy of large-size products is controlled within ±1mm. This design solves the problem of “uneven folding edges” of large-size products by traditional single-station folding, and is especially suitable for three-dimensional gift boxes with a height of more than 150mm.
(2) Intelligent Film Compensation System
In view of the fast consumption of film materials in large-size packaging, LY-450 is equipped with an automatic film splicing device, which can automatically dock new film rolls when the film is about to run out. The docking time is only 2 seconds, and the interface is flat without affecting the packaging quality, avoiding shutdown caused by film replacement. The system can also automatically calculate the film consumption according to the product size, and give an early warning when the remaining film is insufficient to ensure continuous production.
(3) Energy-Saving and Safety Design
The heating system of the equipment adopts zonal independent control, only heating the areas that need heat sealing, saving 30% energy compared with traditional equipment; the equipped infrared sensing device, when the operator’s hand enters the dangerous area, the equipment will immediately slow down and issue an alarm to ensure production safety. Its body adopts a detachable design, and the maintenance of key components does not require professional tools, and ordinary workers can complete daily maintenance, reducing maintenance costs.
