Research and Application of Packaging Machines for Fresh Pepper Sauce and Sea Rice Sauce

Fresh pepper sauce and sea rice sauce, as traditional seasonings, occupy an important position in the food market due to their unique flavor and rich nutritional value. With the growth of consumer demand, the application of automated packaging technology has become the key to improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. This article focuses on the packaging needs of fresh pepper sauce and sea rice sauce, analyzing the technical characteristics, application status, and future development trends of packaging machines.   

Fresh chili sauce has high viscosity and corrosiveness due to its presence of chili particles and oil components, which imposes strict requirements on the sealing, corrosion resistance, and filling accuracy of packaging machines. At present, packaging machines suitable for fresh pepper sauce mostly use servo control systems, which achieve quantitative filling through high-precision metering pumps, and are equipped with stainless steel material hoppers and pipelines to resist acidic corrosion. The heat sealing device adopts constant temperature control technology to ensure that the packaging bag is sealed firmly and avoid leakage. In addition, some models also integrate visual inspection systems to automatically remove products with unqualified sealing, further ensuring packaging quality.   

Haimi sauce has poor flowability due to the presence of solid particles such as shrimp, which can easily lead to uneven filling or blockage problems. In response to this characteristic, the packaging machine needs to be equipped with a screw driven filling mechanism, which forcefully pushes the sauce into the packaging bag through the rotation of the screw to ensure stable filling volume. At the same time, the vibration feeding device can reduce particle deposition and avoid pipeline blockage. To extend the shelf life of Haimi sauce, some packaging machines also integrate nitrogen displacement function, injecting inert gas before sealing to suppress oxidation reaction.

The packaging machines for fresh chili sauce and sea rice sauce on the current market are mainly divided into two categories: semi-automatic and fully automatic. The semi-automatic model has a simple structure and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but it relies on manual assistance and has low efficiency; The fully automatic model integrates processes such as bagging, filling, sealing, and coding through PLC control, with a production efficiency of 30-50 bags per minute, significantly reducing labor costs. In addition, modular design has become a technological highlight, allowing users to replace filling heads or adjust parameters according to product characteristics, enhancing equipment versatility.   

In the future, intelligence and greenization will become the core direction of packaging machine development. On the one hand, the application of IoT technology can achieve remote monitoring and fault warning of devices, and optimize production parameters through big data analysis; On the other hand, the popularity of biodegradable packaging materials requires packaging machines to adapt to environmentally friendly materials, such as the heat sealing performance of PLA film, which needs to be achieved through improved temperature control systems. In addition, the demand for flexible production will drive innovation in multi variety and small batch packaging technologies, such as the design of fast switching filling modules.
