Semi-automatic packaging machines
Semi-automatic packaging machines automatically perform certain stages of the packaging process while the operator manages product loading or cycle control.
They are used when it is necessary to increase productivity compared to manual solutions without introducing a fully automatic line.
These machines allow operational flexibility to be maintained and processing times to be reduced in packaging departments.
Semi-automatic solutions are adopted when production volumes increase but do not yet require a fully automated line.
- Medium batch production
- Frequent format changes
- Product handling by the operator
- Packaging lines in growth phase
In the semi-automatic system, some operations are performed by the machine while others remain manual.
The operator inserts or positions the product and the machine manages the closing or packaging phase.
This approach allows a good operating speed to be maintained without the complexity of fully automatic lines.
Semi-automatic machines are used in the packaging of food and industrial products where flexibility in format management is required.
- Baked goods
- Sweets and snacks
- Products packaged in bags
- Small industrial items
LMC Pack develops different types of semi-automatic machines used to improve the productivity of packaging lines while maintaining direct operator control over certain stages of the process.
These solutions make it possible to automate repetitive operations while maintaining flexibility in product and format management.
Semi-automatic clipping machines
Semi-automatic clipping machines allow bags to be closed using a metal clip with machine assistance during the tightening phase. They are mainly used in the packaging of baked goods, bread and confectionery products.
Semi-automatic stapling machines
Semi-automatic stapling machines are used to close bags using a metal staple. The operator handles the positioning of the bag while the machine performs the closure, making the operation faster and more uniform.
Semi-automatic systems in packaging lines
In some configurations, semi-automatic machines are integrated into packaging lines to manage specific stages of the production process that still require operator intervention but with machine support.
Semi-automatic machines can be integrated with other packaging technologies present in the line.
In some configurations, they work together with clipping machines for closing bags or as support for flow pack packaging machines in packaging lines.
The configuration depends on the type of product, the packaging format and the speed required by production.
