The work in hose production does not end when the product comes off the line. The wrapped hose must maintain its shape, not take up too much space in the warehouse, and reach the customer without disintegrating during shipment.
Especially the packaging of drip hose, irrigation hose and hoses produced in different diameters can be a time-consuming and difficult task to standardize when done manually. This is exactly where the Hose packaging machine comes into play.
It is not desired for a hose coil whose winding has been completed to deteriorate during transportation. The coil, packaged in a controlled manner with stretch film, looks more tidy and maintains its integrity more easily during storage and shipment.
This situation is not only important from a visual perspective. Having the packages close to the same form helps the stacking and vehicle loading processes to be carried out more regularly.
It is an important advantage that the packaging quality does not change from operator to operator, especially in facilities that engage in mass production.
Drip hoses used in the agricultural sector are produced in large quantities and shipped in coils. Loosening of the product or disintegration of the coil may cause problems for both transportation and the end user.
For this reason, the drip hose packaging machine ensures regular application of the stretch film around the product by rotating the coil in a controlled manner.
Adjusting the film winding frequency and table speed also allows working with different product types.
Manual stretching may be sufficient for low quantities. However, as the production amount increases, constantly performing the same operation with the operator begins to become a waste of time.
In machine use, the operator places the product into the system and packaging is carried out according to the defined working settings. Thus, more consistent results are achieved in similar products.
The real gain is not just speed. The business makes the packaging process more predictable.
In the hose industry, diameter, coil width and weight can vary significantly depending on the product group. For this reason, the machine to be used must have appropriate dimensions for the product.
A system designed for small diameter drip hoses may not have the same features as the machine used to package larger diameter industrial hoses.
For this reason, in hose winding and packaging machines, the outer diameter, inner diameter, width and weight of the product must be taken into consideration when determining the machine.
Packaging is the last stage of production in most businesses, but it is actually the first stage where the customer sees the product.
A properly packaged hose coil that maintains its form provides ease of transportation and supports the manufacturer's perception of quality.
Hürteknik Makina develops hose packaging machines and drip hose packaging solutions for hoses of different sizes and capacities. The ability to adapt the system according to the size and production capacity of the product provides significant flexibility, especially for businesses that make non-standard production.
When the right packaging machine is selected, packaging ceases to be a time-consuming process at the end of production and becomes a regularly working part of the production line.
