A turnkey generally refers to a complete packaging system that is ready to use by the packager. However, explaining exactly what a turnkey packaging system includes is somewhat more difficult. Each packaging project will use different s or different variations of machines, such as power conveyor systems, loading and accumulating turntables and rinsing, and machines. So in the packaging industry, while turnkey refers to a complete packaging system, the components that make it complete will differ for each and every customer. Below we will explain the components of a simple packaging system along with some of the alternatives that would be available.
After being filled, the next step is to consistently and reliably seal the s or containers. The most popular capping machine is a spindle capper, used to tighten screw-type caps onto a number of different containers. A chuck capper can also be used for screw-on caps and other capping machines for snap-on caps, plunger-type seals, corks and more. Automatic capping machines will also use a cap delivery system to allow for continuous cappings, such as the caps feeding bowl, or caps elevator, allowing the operator of the packaging to load bulk caps into the hopper or bowl from time to time.
The packager has now been able to load bottles onto the system as well as rinse, fill and cap those bottles. To this point, we could have manufactured all the discussed. However, to fully prepare the bottle, most companies are going to want to add a label to each and every container. We have our own labelers for our customers, adding it to the existing line. Pressure-sensitive labelers can be used to apply wrap labels, front and back labels, panel labels and custom configurations. Most machines will also include a coding machine to add expiration dates, lot numbers and other information right to the label if you need. Once the label is applied, the product is generally ready for the shelf.
At the end of the packaging line, the product must be gathered for the shipping preparation. Just as a loading turntable was used at the beginning of the line, a collecting turntable can be used at the end of the system. The collecting turntable will gather the finished products in one place for easy loading into boxes, crates or other shipping containers. Again, manual labor would be used for the packing process. Alternatives could also include pack tables added to an extended conveyor, a serpentine or accumulating conveyor or additional packaging machinery to complete the packing process.
At this time, we use our strong relationships with other packaging machinery s to procure the taping machines for our customers, adding them to the existing line, to make the cartons package more easily. Semi-automatic and Automatic Tape Sealing Machine, high-quality tape with high grab adhesive ideal for use on fast carton taping machines.
This simple packaging system would run from turntable to conveyor to rinser, filler capper and labeler, then back to a turntable. Again, there are many variations on this layout, including packing equipment such as case packers, taping machines, pallet wrappers and more, with some of the equipment manufactured by ourselves and some of the packaging machines integrated into the system from other equipment manufacturers.
The end result, however, is one-stop shopping for packaging machinery needs. At Guangzhou ChaoXian, we are able to provide truly turnkey packaging systems by integrating OEM types of machinery, such as pressure-sensitive labelers, aluminum foil induction sealers and pallet wrappers, with those pieces of equipment that we manufacture at our Guangzhou plant, including fillers, conveyors, capping machines, labeling machines, container cleaning equipment and more.
