Packaging of bulk goods is associated with a set of problems: compliance with dosage, selection of packaging materials, optimization of storage of goods. This is especially important for small businesses that depend on the profitability of each individual unit on the production line.
Today, the business of packaging goods in the intermediary sphere has become very popular. In this case, the manufacturer does not manufacture products as such, but only purchases bulk raw materials for subsequent packaging and resale. In this case, the expected profitability is quite high due to the absence of many side costs associated with production (product certification, work with raw materials, accurate calculation of energy consumption, etc.). The economic efficiency of this business also exceeds all expectations due to the wide range of required production equipment. The market offers a wide range of products for enterprises: filling and packaging equipment , conveyor belts, power plants.
It is worth starting with the filling equipment. For the above business, this type of equipment is the basis for the entire production line. For packing bulk goods, a packing machine can be used - a small, compact and efficient unit that automatically measures the goods, forms three-layer bags from a polymer composition and delivers the finished product. For small production volumes, this is the most efficient type of equipment. Many side costs will be completely ignored: low operating costs due to the relative simplicity of the design, lower costs due to the lack of loading automation (manual loading or using self-made conveyor lines).
For transportation of packaged goods, you can use cars for very small industries and small conveyor lines. The conveyor is easy to assemble from inexpensive components available on the market. The power plant will also be quite inexpensive, today there are many companies competing on the market, and therefore the cost of induction motors, executing mechanisms and gear motors is very low. The conveyor lines themselves have high rates of efficiency and energy efficiency, which is also a big plus for a small enterprise that cannot cover the costs by increasing the volume of products and well-targeted sales.
