Compressed air during packaging

Many people do not realise that Compressed air plays a very interesting role in packaging in the industry. There are various types of packaging machines that use compressed air to mould, fill, seal or transport packaging.

CS INSTRUMENTS helps to solve various measuring tasks, reduce Energy consumption and optimise cost and quality parameters with intelligent Measuring technology for Compressed air / gases.

Some examples of the use of Compressed air

Filling and sealing machines

These machines use compressed air to form, fill and seal packaging. For example, compressed air sealing machines can be used to seal flexible packaging such as pouches or tubular bags. Compressed air is also used in vacuum packaging machines to create the vacuum in the packaging and protect the product.

Palletiser

These machines use compressed air to stack packaging such as cartons or containers on pallets. Compressed air can be used to drive vacuum suction cups that grip the packaging and place it on the pallet.

Labelling machines

These machines use compressed air to apply labels to packaging. Compressed air can also be used to stabilise the packaging during the labelling process.

Transport and handling

Compressed air can be used to transport packaging from one station to another. For example, pneumatic conveyor belts can be used to transport packaging from the filling line to the packaging machine.
