All the Diaper Packing Machine components work in close coordination to carry out the smooth packing process.

Some of the major components include:

Electrical

• Control system

• Air switch
• Terminal row
• Close switch
• Optoelectronic switch

Pneumatic

• Cylinder
• Solenoid
• Speed control valve
• Vacuum generator
• The gas source processing element

• Stepper motor
• Speed regulation motor

The application of a Diaper Packing Machine is mainly the diaper manufacturing unit that produces hundreds of diapers in a day. The packing machine makes it easier to pack under hygienic conditions, thus lowering the labor cost and increasing the manufacturing rate in return.

As the finished product is packaged and ready to be dispatched for shipping, there is more room for more manufactured diapers, thus increasing the work speed.

A Diaper Packing Machine is used for the following reasons:

Easy Packing

As it offers automatic feeding, sealing, number entering, and compact packing, the whole packing process becomes much more convenient and quick.

Easy Operation

Due to the PLC control system, user-friendly interface, high degree of automation, and efficient motor and conveyor system, the machine seems more humanized and convenient to use.

Wear and Tear Protection

It allows maximum protection against its parts’ wear and tear, which can be caused by overload, long-running hours, frictions, and electrostatic discharge. It is equipped with a torque overload protector and many transmission systems.

Photoelectric Detection

An automatic photoelectric detection helps to allow a safe packing process without the risk of an electrostatic discharge. It can be hazardous because the body is made up of stainless steel material.

Vacuum Suction Cup

A vacuum suction cup eliminates all the air from the packaged material. The vacuum helps to seize the growth of microorganisms and fungi, thus making the product more sustainable and hygienic.

Also, as the air is drawn out, the side of the package is significantly reduced. It makes the packing more convenient, easy to ship, and simple to handle.

Time Saver

The machine packages far more packages than a team of ten members would do. It is fast and precise, making the packing process far less time-consuming, thus increasing the overall productivity.

Many different types of diapers can be packed using a Diaper Packing Machine. It can deal with different sizes as well. Some of the types are written below:

• Disposable diapers
• Cloth diapers
• Biodegradable diapers
• Training diapers
• Baby diapers
• Adult diapers
• Swim pants diapers

When you use a hot melt adhesive machine with your Diaper Packing Machine, electric circuits are installed in every part, including the glue machine, heating pipes, and spray guns which increases the risk of danger. So a professional should be hired for its maintenance.

Following safety measures should be taken before its maintenance check:

• To avoid burning, the professional should wear safety gloves and goggles before touching the molten adhesive.
• Inside pressure should be relieved before loosening and opening the system and pipe joints.
• All the heated components should be soaked in heated R solvent to avoid damage.

The standards for hot melt adhesive machines and Diaper Packing Machine systems should be as follows:

• To extend the life and reduce carbonization, the temperature of the glue cylinder should be kept in a specified range, i-e, 150-160 Celsius. It should not exceed 170 Celsius.
• The glue should be sprayed every 2 hours to reduce the operating temperature. If it exceeds four hours, the machine’s power should be cut.
• 220/380V, +-10% should be the supply voltage.
• The air pressure supply should not be less than 5 bar and be free of any oil or dust particles. The fluctuation in the air pressure should not be more than 1.5bar. The standard pressure for a pump is 2-4 bar.
• The glue should be added in small quantities several times. The glue level in the glue box should be checked intermittently, and the same height should be kept.
• The ideal liquid level in a glue cylinder is neither above ⅔ nor less than ½.
• Glue cylinders should be kept clean at any cost. Any impurity entering the glue cylinder is prohibited and should be covered immediately after adding glue. Bags in the hot melt adhesives should be kept cleaned and sealed.
• Keep the nozzle clean after blockage and ensure cleanliness from time to time for standard pressure and flow.

Using a Diaper Packing Machine is much more beneficial than using labor. It is not just more affordable but also requires little maintenance. The cost of manufacturing and management is also significantly reduced.

Program Planning

You can divert the packing process to the manual side if an automatic packing machine goes through a transitional phase or maintenance. It helps to resume work even when the machine is not functioning.

Precision in Packing

All the diapers are packed into sets that can be later shipped off. Each bag has a set number of diapers as programmed by the central control system, thus eliminating the chance of error.

Preventive maintenance is the best way to maintain any machine. A Diaper Packing Machine needs regular maintenance for optimal production and working. Preventive machine maintenance saves you from many unexpected major or minor problems and product loss. It includes the following steps:

Regular Inspection

• Inspection includes regular check-ups of the worn parts and changing them regularly.
• High-quality wear parts should be used and kept in stock.
• Regular lubrication to reduce the friction between sliding parts.
• These kinds of preventive measures require excellent skills and expertise and should be carried out only by a highly qualified and well trained professional.

Combination with Autonomous Maintenance Task

• You can combine easy task-based activities with machine maintenance that professionals should do from time to time.
• Professionals assign different activities to operators that should be performed daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and biannually. These simple activities primarily include visual cues that help them know the machine more efficiently.

Spare Parts

• High wear parts are the parts that have a short life cycle. Medium wear parts are those parts that have a longer life cycle. And low wear parts are the parts that never fail in the life span of that equipment. So you should go for a one-time investment and purchase low-wear parts in the first place.

Upgradation and Obsolescence Plan

• Like software, packing machines require an upgrade or replacement when a specific part no longer supports the system.
• Communication with the packing machine manufacturer is essential. They can guide you about the upgrade or obsolescence of a specific part so that you can arrange it in advance and avoid any loss.

If you determine the explosion parameters for your Diaper packing Machine, you will find out that the cellulose dust, when mixed with air, can cause an explosion. It is the most significant risk related to the packing machine, which is based on the content of the diapers.

Electrostatic Discharge Explosion

As the package system progresses, a lot of free electric discharge can cause a spark. The spark can initiate fire which can further cause significant damage. Therefore the following systems must be ready at all times to detect any change in temperature and signal any hazard.

• Fire detection and alarm system
• Fire extinguishing system
• Explosion protection
• Sound alarm system
• Flame arresters
• Spark extinguishing system

The most common faults in a Diaper Packing Machine are given below:

Packing Bags Fault

It means the packing bags are not readily available to wrap and pack the diapers or fail to open.

The possible cause of all these faults include:

• The sensor is dirty.
• There is some problem with the vacuum generator or vacuum pad.
• An obstruction can be present in the solenoid valve or air valve.
• A foreign body is in the hose, or the hose is broken.

Defective Sealing

It causes the packing to be uneven, weak, or wrinkled, disturbing the vacuum. It can be caused by:

• The surface of the sealing bar is dirty or irregular.
• The sealing temperature is either too high or too low.
• The sealing bar pressure is inaccurate, or the packing bag is not positioned correctly.
