• Electrical malfunctionFor example, circuit short circuit, control system failure, sensor failure, etc.
• Hydraulic malfunctionFor example, hydraulic oil leakage, hydraulic pump failure, hydraulic valve failure, etc.
• Pneumatic malfunctionFor example, tracheal rupture, cylinder failure, valve failure, etc.

In order to prevent equipment failures, it is necessary to regularly maintain and upkeep the equipment, replace worn parts in a timely manner, and ensure that the equipment is in good working condition. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the correct operation of operators to avoid equipment failures caused by human factors.

2. Product quality issues

The main function of packaging forming equipment is to package products, so product quality is also an important issue. Common quality issues include:

• Unqualified packaging sizeThe packaging size does not meet the requirements, resulting in the product not being able to be packaged properly or the packaging not being aesthetically pleasing.
• The packaging is not tightly sealedPoor packaging sealing can lead to easy damage or deterioration of the product.
• Packaging appearance defectsThere are defects in the appearance of the packaging, such as deformation of the packaging box, damage to the packaging bag, etc.

In order to solve product quality problems, it is necessary to debug the equipment, ensure that the equipment parameters are set correctly, regularly check the equipment operating status, and adjust the equipment parameters in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to strictly control the quality of the packaging materials used in the product.

3. Low operational efficiency of the equipment

The operational efficiency of packaging and molding equipment directly affects production efficiency. Common efficiency issues include:

• Slow device operation speedThe slow operation speed of the equipment leads to low production efficiency.
• Long equipment downtimeFrequent equipment shutdown leads to low production efficiency.
• High equipment failure rateHigh equipment failure rate leads to frequent equipment shutdowns, affecting production efficiency.

In order to improve the efficiency of equipment operation, it is necessary to optimize the equipment, increase its operating speed, reduce equipment downtime, and lower the equipment failure rate. At the same time, attention should also be paid to optimizing the production process and improving production efficiency.

4. Safety hazards

There are certain safety hazards in the operation of packaging and molding equipment, and common safety hazards include:

• Personnel injuredThe operator accidentally touches the operating components of the equipment, which may cause injury to personnel.
• Equipment damageMalfunctions during equipment operation may result in equipment damage.
• Fire hazardElectrical circuit faults or overheating of equipment may pose a fire hazard.

In order to avoid safety hazards, it is necessary to strengthen safety education, enhance the safety awareness of operators, and strictly abide by safety operating procedures. At the same time, regular safety checks should be conducted on the equipment to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards.

5. Cost issues

The cost of packaging and molding equipment is also a consideration. Common cost issues include:

• High equipment purchase costThe purchase cost of packaging molding equipment is relatively high, which may not be affordable for some small and medium-sized enterprises.
• High equipment maintenance costsThe maintenance cost of packaging molding equipment is relatively high, and regular maintenance and repair are required to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
• High power consumption of equipmentThe power consumption of packaging and molding equipment is relatively high, which will increase production costs.

In order to reduce costs, it is necessary to choose suitable equipment and configure it according to actual needs to avoid excessive investment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to strengthening equipment maintenance, extending equipment service life, and reducing maintenance costs.

6. Personnel operation issues

The technical level of the operators of packaging and molding equipment directly affects the normal operation and production efficiency of the equipment. Common operational issues include:

• Insufficient technical proficiency of operatorsOperators lack professional knowledge and skills, and are unable to proficiently operate equipment.
• The operator did not follow the operating proceduresThe operator did not follow the operating procedures, resulting in equipment damage or safety accidents.
• The operator lacks a strong sense of responsibilityThe operator's lack of responsibility has led to inadequate maintenance of the equipment, affecting its normal operation.

In order to solve personnel operation problems, professional training is needed for operators to improve their technical level and safety awareness. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a sound job responsibility system, strengthen the management of operators, and ensure that they strictly comply with operating procedures.

7. Equipment selection issues

Choosing the appropriate packaging and molding equipment is crucial for production efficiency and product quality. Common selection issues include:

• Equipment function mismatchThe selected device's functionality does not meet production requirements, resulting in the device being unable to meet production demands.
• Unreasonable equipment parametersThe selected equipment parameters are unreasonable, resulting in low equipment efficiency or substandard product quality.
• The equipment price is too highThe selected equipment is priced too high and exceeds the company's budget.

In order to solve the problem of equipment selection, it is necessary to scientifically select equipment based on actual production needs and budgets, and choose equipment with powerful functions, reasonable parameters, and high cost-effectiveness. At the same time, it is also necessary to consult professional technical personnel for professional selection advice.

8. Environmental issues

Packaging and molding equipment may generate certain noise and dust during operation, which may cause pollution to the environment. Common environmental issues include:

• noise pollutionThe noise generated during device operation can cause noise pollution to the surrounding environment.
• Dust pollution The equipment generates dust during operation, which may cause air pollution.

In order to solve environmental problems, it is necessary to choose low-noise and low dust equipment, and take dust prevention measures for the equipment to reduce pollution to the environment.

9. Equipment maintenance and upkeep issues

The maintenance of packaging and forming equipment is the key to ensuring the normal operation of the equipment, as well as an important measure to extend the service life of the equipment and reduce production costs. Common maintenance issues include:

• Inadequate maintenance and upkeepInadequate maintenance and upkeep of equipment have resulted in a high failure rate, affecting production efficiency.
• Lack of timely maintenance and upkeepFailure to maintain equipment in a timely manner leads to a high failure rate and affects production efficiency.
• Incorrect maintenance methodsIncorrect equipment maintenance methods have resulted in equipment damage and affected production efficiency.

In order to solve maintenance problems, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive equipment maintenance system and strictly implement it. Regular inspections, maintenance, and upkeep of the equipment should be carried out to ensure that it is in good working condition.

Common problems in the use of packaging molding equipment include equipment failures, product quality issues, low equipment operating efficiency, safety hazards, cost issues, personnel operation issues, equipment selection issues, environmental issues, and equipment maintenance issues. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to do a good job in equipment selection, installation, debugging, operation, maintenance and upkeep, and strengthen safety education to improve the technical level and safety awareness of operators. Equipment optimization and improvement should also be carried out according to the actual situation to improve the reliability and efficiency of the equipment, ensure the normal operation of packaging and forming equipment, and provide reliable guarantees for enterprise production.
