Product Overview

The 500-1000mm Automatic Packing Line is an integrated packaging solution developed for flooring, panels, boards, and other regularly shaped products requiring efficient carton packing. Designed for products with lengths of 500-1000 mm, widths of 300-600 mm, and packed heights of 25-80 mm, the line achieves a packaging capacity of approximately 8-12 boxes per minute.

Instead of relying on separate manual packing stations, the system combines product feeding, alignment, counting, grouping, carton handling, loading, sealing, and finished-box conveying into one continuous automated process. With 28 kW installed power and a standard 380V / 50Hz electrical configuration, it can be adapted to different international factory requirements.

The Automatic Packing Line can also be connected to upstream production equipment and downstream labeling, palletizing, and pallet wrapping systems, providing manufacturers with a scalable solution for improving packaging efficiency and reducing dependence on manual labor.

Cause – Why Manual Packing Becomes a Production Bottleneck

A modern production line can manufacture products continuously, but if the packaging section still relies heavily on manual labor, the overall factory output may remain limited.

Operators may need to manually collect products, count pieces, organize stacks, prepare cartons, load products, close boxes, apply adhesive or tape, and transfer finished cartons to the next station.

As production volume increases, this traditional method can create several challenges:

• Increasing labor requirements

• Unstable packaging efficiency between shifts

• Inconsistent number of products per carton

• Higher risk of incorrect product positioning

• Packaging speed unable to match production speed

• More repetitive manual handling

• Higher operating costs

• Increased possibility of carton or product damage

• Difficult production management during peak seasons

• Limited capability for future factory automation

For manufacturers operating multiple shifts, packaging labor can become a significant long-term operating expense.

An Automatic Packing Line helps synchronize packaging capacity with production output while making the overall process more standardized and controllable.

Solution – Complete Automatic Packing Line Integration

Our Automatic Packing Line is designed to turn multiple packaging operations into a coordinated production process.

Depending on the product and carton design, the line can automatically complete:

• Product receiving

• Automatic conveying

• Product alignment

• Product counting

• Automatic grouping

• Stack preparation

• Carton feeding

• Carton forming

• Automatic product loading

• Carton folding

• Hot melt glue sealing

• Tape sealing

• Box pressing

• Finished carton conveying

• Automatic labeling

• Barcode identification

• Weight checking

• Robotic palletizing

• Pallet stretch wrapping

The entire packaging sequence is coordinated through a PLC and HMI control system.

Operators can select production specifications, monitor machine status, adjust operating parameters, review alarms, and switch between different product recipes through the HMI.

For factories producing multiple sizes, servo-controlled positioning and recipe-based adjustment can be incorporated to reduce manual setup work during product changeovers.

The result is a more continuous packaging process from finished product to sealed carton and, when required, all the way to the finished pallet.

Specifications

Note: Technical specifications may be customized according to product dimensions, packaging method, carton design, required output, factory voltage, and production-line configuration.

Application

The Automatic Packing Line is designed primarily for manufacturers requiring continuous automatic packing of regularly shaped products.

SPC Flooring

For SPC flooring factories, the packing line can receive finished flooring directly from upstream processing or conveying equipment.

Products can be automatically counted, grouped, loaded into cartons, sealed, and transported to downstream palletizing stations.

LVT Flooring

LVT products can be handled according to required pieces per carton and packaging specifications. Automatic packing helps manufacturers maintain a stable production rhythm during continuous operation.

WPC Flooring

WPC products often require standardized carton packaging for transportation and export. The system can automatically organize and package finished products before palletizing.

Laminate Flooring

For laminate flooring production, the line can be designed according to different board sizes, carton structures, and quantities per package.

Wall Panels and Decorative Panels

The system can also be adapted for wall panels, decorative boards, and other flat products within the suitable size range.

Building Material Factories

Beyond flooring applications, the Automatic Packing Line can be customized for boards, profiles, panels, and other products requiring automatic secondary packaging.

How It Works

A typical Automatic Packing Line follows a continuous packaging sequence.

Step 1: Automatic Product Feeding

Finished products enter the packing line through an automatic conveyor connected to the upstream manufacturing process.

Sensors monitor incoming products and coordinate the packing sequence.

Step 2: Alignment and Positioning

Products are automatically positioned to ensure that each piece enters the grouping section in the correct orientation.

This improves packing consistency and reduces misalignment inside the carton.

Step 3: Counting and Grouping

The system automatically counts the required number of products according to the selected production recipe.

Products are then grouped or stacked into one complete packaging unit.

Step 4: Carton Preparation

Depending on the carton design, cardboard can be automatically supplied, opened, formed, folded, or positioned before product loading.

Step 5: Automatic Loading

The prepared product group is transferred into the carton automatically.

Servo-controlled mechanisms can be used where accurate positioning and flexible adjustment are required.

Step 6: Carton Folding and Sealing

After loading, the carton is automatically folded and closed.

The line can be designed for:

• Hot melt adhesive sealing

• Tape sealing

• Mechanical folding

• Customized carton closure

Step 7: Finished Box Conveying

Completed cartons are discharged automatically and transferred to the next process without repeated manual handling.

Step 8: Optional End-of-Line Automation

The packing line can continue into:

Automatic Labeling → Barcode Inspection → Checkweighing → Robotic Palletizing → Pallet Wrapping → Warehouse Conveying

This makes it possible to create a complete automated packaging and logistics solution.

Key Benefits of the Automatic Packing Line

8-12 Boxes Per Minute Capacity

The system provides a stable packaging speed suitable for continuous industrial production.

Reduced Labor Requirements

Automatic feeding, grouping, loading, sealing, and conveying can replace several repetitive manual operations.

This allows factories to allocate operators to tasks requiring greater flexibility or technical experience.

Consistent Packing Quality

Automated product positioning and controlled machine movements help maintain consistent packaging dimensions and appearance across different shifts.

Better Production Synchronization

The packing line can receive signals from upstream machines and coordinate production flow, reducing accumulation between manufacturing and packaging sections.

Flexible Product Changeover

When multiple product sizes are required, recipes can be stored in the HMI.

Servo-controlled adjustment can further reduce setup time between different specifications.

Easy Integration

The system can be integrated with:

• Flooring production lines

• Inspection systems

• Printing equipment

• Labeling machines

• Checkweighers

• Robots

• Palletizers

• Stretch wrappers

• Warehouse conveyors

Expandable for Future Automation

Customers can install the core packing line first and add palletizing, wrapping, labeling, or warehouse automation as production requirements increase.

How To Choose an Automatic Packing Line

The correct packing line should be selected according to actual production conditions rather than packaging speed alone.

1. Provide Product Size Range

Confirm the minimum and maximum:

• Length

• Width

• Thickness

• Weight

If you manufacture several specifications, provide the full product size list.

2. Confirm Pieces Per Package

Different quantities per carton require different counting, grouping, and loading methods.

For example, packing 6 pieces, 10 pieces, or 12 pieces per carton may require different stack heights and carton dimensions.

3. Provide Carton Information

Please provide:

• Carton dimensions

• Carton material

• Carton drawing

• Folding method

• Sealing method

Photos or samples of the existing package are also helpful.

4. Calculate Required Packing Capacity

The Automatic Packing Line should match your upstream production speed.

Our standard configuration reaches approximately 8-12 boxes/min, but actual performance depends on the complete packing process.

5. Consider Product Changeovers

If your factory manufactures many SKUs, automatic or semi-automatic size adjustment should be considered.

This can help reduce downtime during production changes.

6. Check Factory Space

Provide a workshop layout or available installation dimensions.

A customized layout can then be developed according to columns, existing equipment, operator passages, warehouse direction, and palletizing locations.

7. Define Required Automation Level

Some customers only require automatic carton packing.

Others require a complete system including:

Automatic Packing + Labeling + Palletizing + Pallet Wrapping

Defining the complete requirement during the planning stage helps create a more efficient line layout.

Why Choose a Customized Automatic Packing Line?

Packaging requirements vary significantly between manufacturers.

Product dimensions, carton structures, production speeds, factory layouts, electrical standards, and downstream logistics are rarely identical.

Therefore, our Automatic Packing Line can be engineered around the actual production process rather than forcing every factory to use one fixed machine configuration.

Before preparing a technical proposal, our engineering team can evaluate:

• Product specifications

• Production output

• Existing line configuration

• Carton structure

• Packaging workflow

• Factory dimensions

• Required automation functions

• Downstream logistics

Based on this information, a suitable equipment configuration and preliminary production-line layout can be prepared.
