Often, individual machines are made by individual companies but they must operate together in a packaging line. Buy a new state of the art equipment, most expensive. Line speed: 455 versatility should not be purchased at the expense of line speed , line speed, what really counts is output. Table 18. 1 p. 457: filler is critical part of determining line speed it is the slowest piece. 18. 2 p. 459: also notice, machines do not run at 100% eff. To calculate actual cpm: efficiency of each machine x cpm of slowest machine = actual cpm unscrambler filler apper labeler filler. 18. 3 p. 460: an accumulator can improve output put after filler! Look at downstream side forget the first two machines with accumulator. You develop the machine and the package it runs on. Filling systems p. 465: products come in all forms: liquid, powder, flakes, solid, sticky , containers come in all forms and materials: rigid, semi-rigid, flexible . glass, metal, plastic, paper and paperboard.
