What are the common faults of pillow packaging machines?

HOME > News
Pillow packaging machines may encounter various malfunctions during long-term operation, and timely identification and correct resolution of problems are crucial for maintaining the stability of the production line. Here are some common faults and solutions for pillow packaging machines:
 
Incomplete packaging or air leakage:
1. Improper sealing temperature setting, either too low or too high, can affect the sealing effect.
2. The cleanliness of the sealing area is insufficient, and residues may cause poor sealing.
3. The sealing tape or heating element is worn.
Solution:
Check and replace damaged heating belts; Adjust the pressure of the pressure roller to the appropriate level; Calibrate the temperature controller setting value.
 
Knife malfunction:
1. Uneven cutting may be due to blunting of the cutting blade or improper positioning.
2. Blade breakage may be due to excessive load or material hardness exceeding the design range.
3. Blade adhesion is usually caused by insufficient cooling or improper cleaning.
Solution:
Regularly inspect and replace severely worn cutting blades; Choose a more wear-resistant material for the cutting blade to extend its service life.
 
Belt slippage or jamming:
1. Insufficient tension can cause the conveyor belt to loosen, leading to deviation or slippage.
2. Accumulation of foreign objects such as debris, powder, etc. on the conveyor belt can cause blockage.
3. The bearings or rollers are severely worn.
Solution:
Tighten or replace loose drive belts; Check the status of the motor and upgrade it if necessary; Optimize control system parameters, such as PID settings.
 
Electrical malfunction:
1. Abnormal display on the control panel may involve software malfunction, sensor failure, or circuit board issues.
2. Difficulties in starting or abnormal operation of the motor may be due to unstable power supply voltage, aging capacitors, or motor malfunctions.
3. The safety switch fails, affecting the normal start stop and protection functions of the machine.
Solution:
Use a regulated power supply; Replace the aging circuit board; Detect and repair or replace faulty sensors.
 
Pneumatic system malfunction:
1. Slow or insufficient cylinder action may be due to insufficient supply pressure or blocked air pipes.
2. In case of air leakage, check whether the air pipe joint, valve or cylinder sealing ring is damaged.
Solution:
Regularly inspect and replace damaged parts; Check the gas supply pressure and unclog the trachea.
 
Excessive noise:
1. Bearings or gears wear out and produce abnormal sounds.
2. Loose fasteners cause collision sounds between components.
3. Blockage of cooling fans or ventilation holes increases the burden on the motor and causes noise.
Solution:
Replace worn gears; Add lubricating oil to the bearings; Tighten the loose screws.
 
Unstable speed:
1. Improper setting of the frequency converter affects the stability of the motor speed.
2. Fluctuations in material supply lead to speed adjustments during the packaging process.
Solution:
Calibrate the frequency converter settings; Ensure stable material supply.
 
Abnormal control system
1.Software error, hardware malfunction, or external interference signal.
Solution:
Reset the control system or update the software version; Troubleshooting and fixing hardware issues; Enhance the electromagnetic compatibility of the system and reduce interference sources.
 
Frequent card packs
1.Material accumulation, packaging film deviation, or mismatched molding molds.
Solution:
Clean the blocked area and regularly clean the inside of the machine; Adjust the guide roller to ensure that the film runs in a straight line; Check and adjust the mold size to match the packaging.
 
Packaging bag size deviation
 
The feeding length is unstable or the cutting blade position is inaccurate.
Solution:
Reset the control system or update the software version; Troubleshooting and fixing hardware issues; Enhance the electromagnetic compatibility of the system and reduce interference sources.
 
In the face of these issues, regular preventive maintenance and timely troubleshooting are essential. Keeping the equipment clean, regularly checking the status of each component, and promptly replacing worn parts are all effective measures to prevent malfunctions. In addition, familiarizing oneself with the operation manual and maintenance guide of the equipment, mastering basic fault diagnosis skills, can greatly reduce downtime and maintenance costs. When encountering complex problems, it is important to promptly contact professional technicians or equipment suppliers for assistance to avoid mishandling and causing greater losses.
