To help you determine whether a fully automatic packaging machine or a semi-automatic packaging machine might better for your business, we have explained some situations in which one option might be more appropriate than the other.
Semi-Automatic Packing Machine
To be clear, semi-automatic packaging machinery typically involves the need for a full-time operator, which means, the filling machine needs to be initiated to fill or need to have a worker introduce a container to it in order to be filled. For the products that are consist of many different goods in many different configurations, the semi-automatic packaging machine is ideal, because this situation makes lots of extra expenses in an automatic machine, such as costly change parts and the time it takes to set up and changeover the machine. Another situation is your budget have limited or your business is small. In this case, the cost of purchasing multiple semi-automatic machines for the same price might be less than the cost of one automatic machine.
Fully Automatic Packing Machine
An automatic filling machine will not need the operator. Once these machines are started, they are fairly self-control. If you have a limited number of products and have large runs of them, this kind of machine is the best option for your business. In other word, it can improve production line efficiencies and reduce the cost and time.
