3 Types Of Cannabis Packing Automated Machines For Your Business
As cannabis becomes more regulated, so does the process for preparing cannabis for sale. If you want to get into or expand in the cannabis market, you will need to find ways to run a more efficient business. Investing in cannabis pouch packaging machines is one way to increase the efficiency of your business.
When it comes to what type of packaging machine you need, there are many different options, based on how you want to package your products and what exactly you are packaging. Three standard pouch packaging machines you should consider include a stick pack machine, the form fill seal machine, and the premade pouch packing machine.
1. Stick Pack Machine
A stick pack machine is designed to handle multiple products at once. It takes stick packs, which are a specific type of packaging that is narrow in width and long in length. They are designed for single-serve products and are made to be easy to tear open.
A stick pack machine has multiple lanes inside of the device. With each cycle, it is filling up serval bags at once. As a result, it works well with really delicate products, such as powders and granular items, and can also work well with liquid products.
2. Form Fill Seal Machine
A form fill seal machine creates the bag inside of the machine. The machine uses a flat roll of packaging fill to make each individual bag and fill it with products. The machine can be configured to create packages in either a horizontal or vertical fashion.
You can use the machine to produce bags in different sizes. Usually, you will want to use one machine for one type of product to keep things as seamless as possible.
If you want to speed up the filling process, you will want to use vertical packages, which the machine can create faster than horizontal packages.
3. Premade Pouch Packing Machine
A premade pouch packing machine is designed to work with bags that are premade into their final shape; it doesn't create the packaging like a stick pack or form fill seal machine.
With a premade pouch packaging machine, you can easily change the machine's configuration for different-sized bags and different quantities of cannabis. For example, you can line up a batch of bags in the holding area, add the products, and allow it to fill and quickly seal up each pouch, and then release the pouch from the machine.
You can easily use different bags and have the machine weigh different quantities. If you have an extensive product line, a premade pouch machine allows you to package multiple products using one machine quickly.
If you want to scale your cannabis operation, one way to do that is by investing in cannabis pouch packaging machines that will speed up the production process. Talk to a manufacturer, such as Phoenix Engineering, to learn more.
