THE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF FLEXIBILITY IN
PACKING MACHINES
2

• In packing machinery, flexibility is a term
  that is used almost exclusively in a positive
  light. Flexibility in pouch packing machine
  Mumbai refers to the equipments ability to take
  care of various products as well as formats of
  packing. Flexibility in packing machines is
  surely a desired goal, however, this ability to
  handle multiple products and formats of packing
  may lead to certain compromises consequently
  leading to loss of efficiency and unpleasant
  surprises. Think of a packaging machine as a car.
  You can never expect to purchase a vehicle that
  would transport a whole hockey team and do hot
  laps at a race track as well.

• A best approach towards achieving the most out of
  packing machines is to reap its benefits while
  minimizing its downsides. The best way to do that
  is to first be aware of the potential advantages
  and the challenges offered by flexibility in
  pouch packing machine Bangalore.
• Advantages
• Flexibility in packing machines accommodates and
  allows variations in the product that is to be
  packaged. A fine example of such accommodation of
  variations would be the products that vary in
  density depending on the changes in input
  components, and the manufacturing processes.

• Flexibility in pouch packing machine Delhi can
  extend the lifecycle of the equipment. This
  stands true particularly for the consumer
  products, in which case the lifecycle tends to be
  shorter than what it used to be. Manufacturers
  usually plan to use a packaging equipment for
  nearly 4 or 5 years and as soon as the
  competitive advantage is lost on the packaging
  format or the new product, then they have to
  retool the entire line for something else.
• A flexible packaging machines allows for minor
  and temporary changes and adjustments in case of
  secondary packaging format while primary product
  remains common.

• Challenges
• With flexibility in the packaging equipment there
  will always be some kind of compromise in atleast
  one of the following areas price, speed,
  consistency, changeover time, complexity, or
  footprint. While it might be undesirable, these
  compromises can be mitigates through properly
  analyzing the areas that will be compromised and
  proactively determining, in what order the areas
  would be compromised. Acceptance as well as
  management of these things can surely help in the
  selection of supplier.

• If you think that you can have all of it without
  any kind of compromise then you may even want to
  think it again. The case is similar to a salesman
  selling you a vehicle claiming that the 8
  passenger SUV would deliver the best mileage as
  well while reaching 0-60 mph within 5 seconds.
