In today’s world, where sexual health and family planning are of utmost importance, the role of condom packaging machines cannot be underestimated. These sophisticated pieces of equipment play a crucial part in ensuring that condoms reach consumers in a safe, hygienic, and appealing manner.
How Condom Packaging Machines Work？
The process of condom packaging typically begins with the feeding of individual condoms into the machine. These condoms are usually produced in a separate manufacturing process and are then carefully transferred to the packaging machine. The machine first inspects the condoms for any visible defects. This quality control step is vital as it ensures that only high – quality products are packaged and sent to the market.
Once the condoms pass the inspection, they are placed into the appropriate packaging materials. Commonly, condoms are packaged in foil or plastic pouches. The packaging material is unwound from a roll and cut into the required size. The condom is then inserted into the pouch, and the pouch is sealed. This sealing process is critical as it must be airtight to maintain the integrity of the condom inside. Different sealing techniques are used, such as heat sealing for foil pouches and ultrasonic sealing for some plastic materials.
After sealing, the packaged condoms may go through additional processes. Some machines are equipped with labeling systems that apply product information labels to the packages. This includes details like the brand name, size, lubrication type, expiration date, and any safety certifications. The labeled packages are then sorted and grouped for further distribution.
Advantages of Recare’s independently developed condom packaging machine?
1. High Efficiency: A three-row design, the equipment can operate stably, and the speed can reach 135 pieces
2. Less Downtime: The equipment runs continuously and smoothly. The speed of each channel is relatively low, and the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of the equipment can reach over 90%.
3. Easy Maintenance: The equipment has a simple structure, high stability, and low maintenance cost.
4. High Degree of Automation: It is equipped with devices such as automatic feeding, goods pressing detection, belt control detection, waste removal, and waste film cutting. Encoders are used instead of cams, which makes it convenient to accurately and intuitively adjust the action time and position. The advanced design reduces the contact between mechanical components and products, reducing the risk of holes.
5. High-quality Products: The special feeding structure ensures that products can smoothly enter the sealing system without jamming or pressing of goods. The high-precision metering pump ensures accurate dosage, and there is a silicone oil detection and alarm system. Devices such as aluminum foil joint detection can automatically remove various types of waste products.
6. Printing Types (Optional): It can provide various coding methods such as Ink jet, Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO), and Heat Ink.
7. Aluminum Foil Edge Correction Device (Optional): An aluminum foil edge correction device can be provided to ensure the accurate position of the aluminum foil during the production process.
Types of Condom Packaging Machines
Manual Packaging Machines
These are the most basic type of condom packaging machines. They are often used in small – scale production or for experimental purposes. Manual machines require an operator to perform most of the tasks, such as placing the condom into the pouch and sealing it. While they are relatively inexpensive, they have a low production capacity and are more prone to human error in terms of quality control.
Semi – Automatic one row Condom Packaging Machines
Semi – automatic machines combine manual and automated processes. For example, an operator may place the condom into the open pouch, and then the machine takes over to seal the pouch and apply the label. These machines are more suitable for medium – scale production. They offer a balance between cost and production efficiency, with improved quality control compared to manual machines.
Machine parameters
1.Production Capacity: (adjustable)
40 – 60 pcs/min (square foil bag),
40 – 80 pcs/min (rectangular foil bag)
2.Size of bag: 30mm * 70mm and 56mm * 56mm (adjustable)
3.Width of the Sealing Edge: 5mm
4.Materials for Small Bags: Heat – sealable plastic composite materials, such as PT/ALIPE, BOPP/ALPE and other composite films
Fully Automatic Condom Packaging Machines
Fully automatic condom packaging machines are the pinnacle of modern packaging technology. They can perform the entire packaging process from condom feeding to final product sorting with minimal human intervention. These machines are highly efficient and can produce a large number of packaged condoms per hour. They are equipped with advanced sensors and control systems to ensure high – quality packaging and accurate product labeling. However, they are also more expensive to purchase and maintain.
