Unitek Pillow Packing Machine

A collar packaging machine is a type of packaging equipment used primarily in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries for wrapping products such as bottles, jars, containers, or boxes with a protective film or sleeve. Here's a brief description of its components and operation:

1. Feeding System: The feeding system of the collar packaging machine is responsible for conveying the products to be wrapped into the machine. This can be done manually or automatically, depending on the specific model.

2. Film Roll Holder: The machine typically features a roll holder or film unwind system where the packaging material (usually a roll of shrink film or sleeve) is mounted.

3. Cutting Mechanism: There is a cutting mechanism that cuts the packaging material to the required length as the product passes through the machine.

4. Collar Formation: The machine forms a collar or sleeve around the product by wrapping the packaging material around it. This can be achieved through various methods such as heat sealing, adhesive application, or pre-formed sleeves.

5. Heat Tunnel (Optional): In some models, after the collar is formed, the product may pass through a heat tunnel where the film is heated, causing it to shrink tightly around the product for a secure fit.

6. Control Panel: Modern collar packaging machines are equipped with a control panel or HMI (Human-Machine Interface) that allows operators to set parameters such as film length, temperature, and speed, and monitor the machine's performance.

7. Safety Features: To ensure safe operation, collar packaging machines are equipped with safety features such as emergency stop buttons, safety guards, and sensors to detect any malfunctions.
