OPTIMA Weightech : Packaging Machinery Manufacturer Australia

  Food items to cosmetics, gadgets, etc., everything needs packaging to become ready for retail. Traditionally, glass, metals, and plastics have been popular packaging materials. However, today's industries demand customization and economical packaging solutions. That's when flexible packaging comes to the rescue. As the name implies, flexible packaging generally includes those materials that are non-rigid. One of the major examples of flexible packaging is flow wrappers.   What is flow wrapping? Flow wrapping is a process in which the product moves in a horizontal conveyor belt and is then wrapped in a thin plastic film and sealed at the end by the machine. This setup is also known as the horizontal flow wrapping machine. These packaging films are also called flow wraps since they technically wrap around the products to form a bag/pouch/packet. Flow wrappers have gained significant popularity in food processing and other industries because of the following ...

  Is your business involved in liquid foods and products? Then it’s high time to invest in a good filling machine. These machines, also known as  liquid fillers , are specially made for liquid foods, beverages, and non-food products. These machines help boost productivity and maintain the consistency of each filled product. Here are some of the most common liquid fillers that are ideal for different types of liquids.   6 Types of Liquid Filling Machines Manual Liquid Filling Machines This liquid filler is an excellent choice if your production line is short of electricity supply or you rely on manual operations. As the name implies, manual liquid filling machines are operated by labour without electricity. This is ideal for small-scale production since it eliminates the need for hand pouring. Automatic Liquid Filling Machines Unlike manual  liquid fillers , automatic liquid filling machines run on electricity. These filling machines are perfect for hi...

  In the dynamic industrial world, load cells are one of the most ubiquitous components that cannot be overlooked. Wondering what load cells are? Well, they fall under the umbrella of transducers or electro-mechanic sensors that helps convert force into electrical output. The cell functions to measure weight or force and it has an effective design that depends on the electricity flow and material deformation. Load cells are versatile devices offering accurate performance across diverse applications. All commercial and industrial processes use load cells as an effective way to measure weights and forces across systems.   Load Cell Technology There are different types of load cells. While the resistive load cells work on the principle of piezo-resistivity, the capacitive load cells function on the principle of the change of the capacitance. Typically, capacitance is a system’s ability to hold a certain amount of charge when the voltage is applied to it.   Also, load cel...

  The safety of the food items is vital to ensure the good health of the consumers. For this reason, food inspection has been prioritized. While there are various ways to inspect food quality, x-ray technology is one of the most preferred approaches in recent times. Are you wondering why an  x-ray for food inspection ? In that case, here are some of the best reasons that will convince you that x-ray technology is indeed the right choice for food inspection.   ·         Enhanced Detection Capabilities At times, food items may contain hazardous contaminants such as stone, glass, metal, plastic, and rubber. What if individuals consume them unknowingly? Consumption of these contaminants can prove to be harmful to individuals. Therefore, detection of these items is important. Many food producers think of using metal detectors. However, the metal detectors can only detect the metals while the other contaminants may go undetected. Therefo...
