Fruits and vegetables are essential food items that are widely consumed around the world. To ensure their freshness and safety during transport and storage, they need to be packaged properly. In this article, we will discuss what equipment is used for packaging of fruits vegetables.

Horizontal packaging machines are commonly used in fruit and vegetable packing plants. These machines are designed to pack a variety of products, including fruits, vegetables, and other perishable goods.

The main advantage of horizontal packaging machines is that they can handle large volumes of product quickly and efficiently.the following are the key components of a horizontal packaging machine:

Packaging material preparation system: This system prepares the packaging material, such as plastic wrap or paper, by heating it up or applying adhesive to it.

Packaging unit: The packaging unit is where the product is placed onto the packaging material. It can be designed to accommodate different types of products, such as round or rectangular fruits and vegetables.

Packaging sealing system: This system ensures that the product is securely sealed in place during the packaging process. There are two types of sealing systems: Heat sealing and vacuum sealing.heat sealing involves applying heat to the packaging material to create a strong seal. Vacuum sealing uses a vacuum chamber to remove air from inside the packaging material, creating a tight seal that prevents oxygen and moisture from entering.

Labeling and information dispenser: This system includes a labeling machine and an information dispenser. The labeling machine prints labels with product information, such as weight, expiration date, and batch number, while the information dispenser provides additional details about the product, such as country of origin and nutritional value.

Conveyor system: The conveyor system moves the product from the loading dock to the packaging machine. It can be designed to handle different types of products, such as single-piece or multiple-piece items.

Maintenance and cleaning: The packaging machines require regular maintenance and cleaning to ensure that they operate effectively and efficiently. Operators should follow a schedule for cleaning and maintenance to avoid breakdowns and increase productivity.
