Many customers don’t know how to choose a multi-column machine with a higher price and a single-column machine with a more favorable price. Below, I will compare the two machines and explain them one by one to help you make a decision as soon as possible.
From the perspective of personnel costs:
A multi line machine can achieve high-speed and smooth operation than a single line machine. Assuming a machine with 6 lines can pack 180 bags in one minute, and only one person manages the whole process, while at the same speed, 6 single trains are needed, then 6 people are needed. Manage one device separately, which means that labor costs have increased by 6 times. The use of multi-line packaging machines is reduced to varying degrees in terms of machinery and personnel, which provides convenience for business management.
Packaging material cost
After the multi-line packaging machine is packaged, it is necessary to cut off the excess parts of the sealing on both sides, which seems to waste some materials than the single-line machine, but if the automatic correction system is equipped on the multi-line machine, the waste of packaging materials can be avoided. The automatic correction system of the multi-line machine can control the excess sealing on both sides within 1 mm, which makes it and the single-line machine's packaging material consumption reach the same level.
Packaging level
The multi-line packaging machine is a four-sided sealing, back-seal, and special-shaped bag type. Compared with the packaging made by a single-line packaging machine, the appearance is more beautiful and neat, and the packaging level is improved. Because the operating system and structure of the multi-line machine are different, the bags made will be more beautiful. For relatively high-value products, multi-row machines are generally used, such as cosmetics, coffee powder, milk powder, medicine, etc.
Floor space and maintenance times
One multi-line packaging machine can complete the production of several single-line packaging machines, so it saves the company's equipment footprint. Maintaining a multi-line packaging machine at one time is equivalent to maintaining a few single packaging machines, which reduces the number of equipment maintenance for users.
Input costs
The single input cost of a single-line machine is much lower than that of a multi-line machine. For start-ups and companies with low product output, a single-line machine is more suitable for the development and packaging needs of start-ups and small enterprises, and a multi-line machine is more suitable for High-end products in appearance, output and market positioning
Although the enterprise purchases a multi-row machine with a relatively large one-time investment, it has high production efficiency, long service life, stable equipment operation, and can effectively reduce production costs, improve management levels and packaging grades.
