The Straw Large Packaging Machine is a robust and efficient system designed for the secondary packaging of paper straws. It automates the process of counting, collating, and bundling multiple individual straws into larger "group" or "family" packs. This machine is essential for streamlining distribution, reducing manual labor, and preparing products for bulk shipment or point-of-sale multi-packs.
This machine functions as an automatic counting and collating station. It typically features vibratory feeders or an "Accubox" system to organize and count a predetermined number of straws before they are pushed into the film wrapping section. It uses a three-side seal pouch style, created from a continuous roll of film. The PLC-controlled system ensures accurate counts and consistent package integrity. Its design prioritizes throughput and reliability, making it a workhorse for end-of-line packaging operations.
This machine is built for:
-
Bundling & Multi-Packing: Packaging 50 to 100 straws into a single bag for wholesale, bulk distribution, or retail multi-packs.
-
High-Volume Output: Ideal for large-scale straw manufacturers supplying schools, hospitals, and large food service chains.
-
Downstream Integration: Often connected to the output of a single straw packing machine or a conveyor from a production line to create a fully automated system.
-
Flexible Pack Counts: Easily adjustable to create bundles of different quantities.
