Overview: Solving PVC Pipe Fittings Packaging Pain Points
PVC pipe fittings (tees, elbows, couplings, valves) are notoriously hard to package: their irregular shapes, varied sizes, and scratch-sensitive surfaces make manual sorting/counting slow, error-prone, and damaging.
We offer two specialized solutions for PVC fittings:
- Vibratory Bowls Packing Machine: Ideal for small, counted packaging (e.g., 2–10 fittings per retail pouch).
- Multihead Weigher Packing Machine: Optimized for bulk packaging (e.g., 50–200 fittings per construction-grade box).
Solution 1: Vibratory Bowls Packing Machine (For Small PVC Fittings Packaging)
This machine is designed for small, retail-ready packs—focused on precise counting and scratch-free protection for individual fittings.
How It Works (Small Pack Workflow)
- Vibratory Bowl Loading: Bulk PVC fittings (e.g., small elbows) are loaded into rubber-lined vibratory bowls (prevents scratches).
- Shape Sorting: Custom spiral tracks align irregular fittings (tees/elbows) to avoid jams.
- Precision Counting: Optical sensors tally 2–10 fittings per batch (99.9% accuracy, critical for retail).
- Small Pack Sealing: Fittings are sealed into polybags or sachets
Key Applications (Small Packs)
- Retail hardware stores: 5-pack tees or 2-pack valves (shelf-ready, labeled).
- E-commerce kits: “DIY Pipe Repair Packs” (3 elbows + 2 couplings per pouch).
Solution 2: Multihead Weigher Packing Machine (For Bulk PVC Fittings Packaging)
This machine is built for high-volume bulk orders—prioritizing speed and weight-verified batches for large quantities.
How It Works (Bulk Pack Workflow)
- Bulk Feeding: Large quantities of PVC fittings (e.g., 1000+ valves) are loaded into a top hopper.
- Multihead Distribution: 16–32 weigh hoppers split fittings into small portions (handles irregular shapes via adjustable tracks).
- Weight Combination: AI algorithms combine portions to match target bulk weights (e.g., 5kg of couplings, ±0.2g precision).
- Bulk Sealing: Batches are sealed into corrugated boxes or large polybags (via our horizontal packing machine for secure bulk packaging).
Key Applications (Bulk Packs)
- Construction sites: 200-pack elbows or 100-pack valves (bulk, easy to inventory).
- OEM pipe manufacturers: 500-pack couplings (for assembly line supply).
Compatibility with Our Packaging Ecosystem
For end-to-end PVC fitting packaging lines, this machine integrates with:
- Upstream: automatic feeder (load bulk PVC fittings).
- Downstream: Case Sealing Machine (bulk cartoning for construction sites)、Heat Transfer Printing Machine (label fitting specs on packages).
