As your business grows, it’s important to take advantage of ways automation can help you stay ahead of the curve. There’s no reason to keep using old technology once new products can allow you to package more food in less time. Here are some questions to ask your packaging machine vendor if you’re considering upgrading your line to a vertical packaging machine.
- Can I customize my machine? The best vendors offer plenty of options for your packaging line. You can choose a machine that best fits your product, your type of packaging, and your volume. Then, you can customize that machine to your specific needs, as well. You may even be able to buy a machine that can be scaled to grow with your business, as well.
- How do I choose the most reliable machine? Choosing the right machine is important. If you choose a machine designed specifically for your type of product, you can ensure it will be a reliable addition to your line. Today’s machines have nearly 100 percent uptime, making your business run like clockwork.
- How can I ensure my vertical packaging machine fills my packages accurately? Product loss through inaccurate packaging is a very real problem for food companies. Today’s packaging machines, however, can measure to within 0.1 to 1.5 grams, so you don’t give away food.
- Can I afford a new machine? Packaging machines are designed to fit many budgets. Higher volume machines are more expensive, but these machines can help you increase revenue by moving more product more quickly. This increase in your ability to move product can help you pay for the machine quickly.
Talk with your vendor about the models available and costs and payment options. A new vertical packaging machine may be just the upgrade your food line needs.
