Introduction: Matching the Conveyor to the Task In an automated packaging system, efficiency relies on how effectively you move product between processes. While the Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machine is the star of the show, the supporting actors—the conveyors—determine the flow. Understanding the specific applications of belt conveyors is the first step in designing […]

Introduction: The “Invisible” Variable in OEE In the high-stakes world of automated packaging, engineers obsess over the speed of the Multihead Weigher and the seal integrity of the VFFS machine. Yet, one variable is often treated as an afterthought: the conveyor belt. Many factory managers assume that “a belt is just a belt.” They specify

Introduction: The “Pipe” vs. The “Valve” In the world of packaging automation, terminology matters. We often hear project managers ask, “Can’t we just use a conveyor to feed the scale?” The short answer is: You can, but you shouldn’t. While both machines move product, they serve fundamentally different engineering functions. Confusing the two is a
