Here's how the automatic belt type vacuum packing machine typically works:
- Loading: The operator places the products to be packed onto the conveyor belt of the machine. The conveyor belt moves the items into the packaging area.
- Vacuum sealing: Once the product is inside the bag, the machine initiates the vacuum sealing process. It removes the air from the bag, creating a vacuum environment around the product. This helps to extend the shelf life of the packaged goods by reducing oxygen levels, inhibiting bacterial growth, and preventing oxidation.
- Sealing: After the air has been removed, the machine seals the bag shut to maintain the vacuum. The sealing process can be achieved through heat sealing, where the bag edges are fused together using heat.
- Conveyor movement: The conveyor belt continues to move, bringing the next product into position for packaging. The process repeats for each item on the belt.
