Description
If you are seeking an automated weighing and packaging solution specifically designed for peeled garlic cloves and garlic granules, this Peeled Garlic Clove & Granule Weighing and Packing Machine is the ideal choice for boosting your processing efficiency and ensuring export-grade quality. Integrating a high-precision weighing system with a high-speed vertical packaging unit, this equipment features a structural design specifically optimized to address the unique physical characteristics of peeled garlic—namely, its slippery surface, irregular shape, susceptibility to damage, and tendency to oxidize. Whether used for the quantitative packaging of fresh, IQF (Individually Quick Frozen), or dehydrated garlic products, this machine executes a fully automated workflow—spanning feeding, weighing, bag forming, filling, and sealing. This process significantly mitigates the risk of microbial contamination associated with manual handling, while simultaneously ensuring the consistency of net weight and the aesthetic appeal of the final packaging.
Granule Weighing & Packing Machine Working Principle
This machine employs a synergistic workflow comprising “multi-head combination weighing + precision product drop + automatic roll-stock packaging.” First, an operator loads pre-processed, peeled garlic cloves or granules into the vibratory feed pan of the elevator. The material is then uniformly conveyed via vibration to an intelligent multi-head combination weigher (or linear weigher). Based on a preset target weight (e.g., 500g, 1kg, 5kg, etc.), the weighing system utilizes a microcomputer to perform real-time calculations of the material combinations across its various weigh buckets, selecting the specific combination that most closely matches the target value for discharge. The material falls through a collection funnel into the forming tube of the vertical packaging machine situated below; simultaneously, the packaging machine draws down the roll film and heat-seals it into a continuous tube. Immediately after the material is filled, the machine executes the cross-sealing and cutting operations, producing individual, perfectly sealed packages. The entire process is coordinated by a PLC control system, featuring adjustable operating speeds and achieving a weighing accuracy within ±1g.
Garlic Granule Weight Packing Machine Advantages
Significantly Reduce Manual Handling to Enhance Hygiene and Safety
Automated operations minimize the frequency of direct manual contact with garlic cloves, effectively controlling cross-contamination by microorganisms (such as *E. coli* and mold). This assists clients in easily passing food safety system audits, such as BRC and HACCP.
High Weighing Precision to Minimize Waste and Customer Complaints
The “optimal combination” logic of the multihead weigher ensures that net weight errors are kept within ±1g. This prevents raw material waste caused by overfilling and eliminates customer returns or commercial claims resulting from short weights.
Accommodates Irregular Shapes; Low Failure Rate
Specially optimized algorithms for vibratory feeder amplitude and frequency ensure that peeled garlic cloves—which vary in size and have slippery surfaces—are arranged in a stable, single layer. This minimizes instances of “double dumping” (two loads in one bucket) or “empty buckets,” allowing the equipment to maintain an operational continuity rate of over 98%.
Rapid Changeovers for Flexible Production
The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) can store parameters for 50 different product specifications (e.g., 1kg retail packs, 5kg foodservice packs). Changing packaging film or target weights takes just 5 minutes, making the system ideal for processing plants that handle a wide variety of products in small batches.
Garlic Granules Packing Machine Features
**Food-Grade Stainless Steel Construction + Non-Stick, Smooth-Flowing Discharge Structure**
The entire machine is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning while fully complying with international food safety standards. To address the specific characteristics of peeled garlic cloves—namely their slippery surfaces and tendency to stick together—the inner walls of the hopper feature a mirror-polished finish. Furthermore, the system is equipped with Teflon-coated chutes and anti-clogging vibrators to ensure zero material residue and prevent blockages.
**High-Precision Intelligent Combination Weigher (Multihead Weigher)**
The machine comes standard with a 10-to-14-head combination weighing system. Each weighing bucket features independent sensors capable of executing hundreds of weight combination calculations per second. This ensures high-precision weighing accuracy even when there are significant variations in the size of individual garlic cloves, with a flexible target weight range that can be set from 10g to 5000g.
**Gentle Discharge System with Low-Shear Design**
The discharge channel utilizes a stepped-buffer or inclined-chute design to minimize impact force during the high-speed descent of the garlic cloves. This prevents physical damage to the garlic, loss of natural juices, or surface scratches—making the system particularly ideal for handling export-grade whole garlic cloves or brittle dehydrated garlic granules.
**Compatibility with Multiple Packaging Formats & Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) Modules**
The system is adaptable to a wide variety of packaging formats, including pre-made pouches, back-seal bags, gusseted bags, and stand-up pouches. Additionally, an optional nitrogen-filling module is available to extend the shelf life of peeled garlic cloves and prevent oxidative discoloration (yellowing).
Garlic Clove Packing Machine Benefits
**Boost Production Capacity, Reduce Labor Costs**
A single machine can replace 6 to 8 packaging workers and operates continuously and stably for 20 hours a day. This allows your garlic processing plant to effortlessly boost its production capacity by 3 to 5 times, ensuring a rapid return on your equipment investment.
**Enhance Product Shelf Appeal and Premium Pricing Potential**
With neat, aesthetically pleasing packaging and precise, consistent net weights—combined with Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) for extended freshness—your peeled garlic cloves can gain entry into high-end supermarkets or be exported to high-standard markets such as the EU and North America. This enables you to command a 10% to 15% price premium per ton.
**Minimize After-Sales Disputes and Brand Damage**
Eliminate negative reviews and product returns caused by issues such as underweight packages, improper sealing, or damaged garlic cloves. This safeguards your store ratings on international B2B platforms and boosts your customer repurchase rates.
**Reduce Raw Material Waste, Increase Net Profits**
For every ton of garlic cloves processed, you save 2% to 3% of raw materials that would otherwise be wasted through overfilling. Based on an annual processing volume of 1,000 tons, this translates to an annual savings equivalent to the value of an additional 2 to 3 tons of garlic cloves—a direct conversion into pure profit.
Conclusion
In summary, this Peeled Garlic Clove Granule Weighing & Packing Machine is perfectly tailored to meet the unique physical and hygienic requirements of peeled garlic cloves and granules. From its food-grade, non-stick structural design and high-precision multi-head weighing system to its low-impact product drop mechanism, every detail is engineered to help you resolve core pain points associated with manual packaging—specifically, low efficiency, poor accuracy, high product loss, and difficulty in maintaining hygiene standards. Whether you are packaging freshly peeled garlic cloves, IQF (individually quick frozen) garlic granules, or dehydrated garlic flakes, this machine delivers enhanced throughput, reduced operating costs, and strengthened competitiveness in the export market.
