Water ice packing solutions for complete production lines offer numerous significant advantages, meeting the high demands of modern manufacturing for flexibility, efficiency, cost control, and market responsiveness. Below is a detailed analysis of their main features:
1. Hygiene and Cleanliness Design
Food-grade Materials: Production line equipment primarily uses corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean materials such as stainless steel, meeting food safety standards (e.g., FDA, CE certification).
Contamination-proof Design: The equipment has a simple structure, avoiding dead corners, facilitating thorough cleaning and disinfection. Some stages may be equipped with aseptic packaging environments.
2. Temperature Control and Insulation
Low-temperature Environment Integration: The production line may be linked to a refrigeration system to ensure that the shaved ice does not melt during packaging (e.g., equipped with cold air tunnels and low-temperature filling stations).
Fast Packaging: High-speed automated equipment shortens exposure time and reduces temperature fluctuations.
3. Automation and High Efficiency
Fully Automated Process: From shaved ice forming, quantitative filling, sealing to boxing, everything can be completed automatically, reducing labor costs.
High-speed Capacity: For large-scale production, some production lines can process dozens or even hundreds of products per minute.
4. Flexible Packaging Adaptability
Multiple Packaging Sizes: Supports various formats such as cups, bags, and boxes, and can adapt to different volumes (e.g., 200ml-500ml).
Packaging Material Compatibility: Suitable for common food packaging materials such as plastic cups, paper bowls, and composite films.
5. Special Process Requirements
Layered Filling Capability: For shaved ice requiring toppings such as jam, red beans, and condensed milk, a multi-layer filling or dispensing system may be required.
Solid Material Handling: The equipment must be able to stably handle granular or blocky ingredients (such as chopped fruit or coconut jelly) to prevent clogging.
6. Intelligent Control and Stability
PLC/Touchscreen Control: Convenient parameter adjustment (such as packaging speed, temperature, and filling volume).
Fault Self-Check and Alarm: Automatically monitors equipment operating status and alerts to abnormalities (such as material shortage or packaging paper jamming).
7. Energy Saving and Environmental Protection
Low Energy Consumption Design: Employs high-efficiency compressors or energy-saving modes, especially in the refrigeration stage.
Reduced Raw Material Waste: Precise metering system controls the amount of shaved ice and toppings used, reducing waste.
8. Adaptability and Expansion
Modular Design: Functional modules (such as labeling machines, inkjet printers, and vision inspection systems) can be added as needed.
Compatible with multiple categories: With slight modifications, it can be adapted to other frozen desserts (such as ice cream and smoothies).
