Package Forming Systems

At SAIZAR, we integrate package forming systems into our range of complementary strapping and packaging equipment. This product line is specifically listed within our product catalogue and is also included as one of the components that can be offered as part of an automatic strapping/packaging line.

Conforming makes sense when you need the package to reach the strapping station with a more controlled shape and prepared in a way that is consistent with the rest of the process. This is a reasonable conclusion based on how SAIZAR structures its lines, where the package shaping system is designed as a separate piece of equipment alongside the compacting, strapping, conveying, weighing, and labelling processes.

How we design the packaging forming system

We design each forming system based on the product, package size, productivity, and available floor space. We do not treat it as a standalone component, but rather as part of the production line that must integrate seamlessly with the conveyor system, infeed alignment, strapping station, and other auxiliary equipment.

Preparing the bundle before strapping

The purpose of the forming process is to prepare the bundle before strapping so that the next stage of the process can proceed under optimal conditions. In SAIZAR’s technical documentation, the bundle forming system is listed as an optional component within the automatic lines, confirming its role in the pre-strapping preparation process.

Adaptation to the product and entrance alignment

To properly size the solution, we use data such as width, height, length, diameter, and the alignment of the package as it arrives at the forming station. SAIZAR’s requests for proposals specify whether the package arrives centered or aligned on one side, as this condition directly influences how the system should be designed.

Integration with the rest of the production line

The forming process is designed in conjunction with other equipment in the facility. Within SAIZAR’s product portfolio, it is linked to components such as conveyors, compactors, automatic strapping machines, weighing scales, automatic labelling systems, and plastic wrapping machines, enabling the development of a comprehensive solution tailored to the actual production process.

Standard features of our forming systems:

  • Integration into an automatic strapping and packaging line.
  • Design tailored to the product, dimensions, and productivity.
  • Configuration based on how the package is moved.
  • Coordination with other equipment such as compacting, strapping, or conveying systems.

Common Applications

Forming systems are particularly well-suited for lines where the package must arrive at the strapping station in a specific, more controlled format. In SAIZAR’s designs, this equipment is used for applications involving packages of profiles, bars, tubes, and pipes, and forms part of the overall workflow of automatic strapping and packaging lines.

It is also useful in processes where the product has dimensional variations or where the shape of the bundle upon arrival affects the repeatability of the strapping. This requirement is reflected in the data SAIZAR requests to prepare the technical proposal, which includes detailed information on dimensions, alignment, and material flow.

También tiene sentido en procesos donde el producto presenta variaciones dimensionales o donde la forma de llegada del paquete condiciona la repetibilidad del flejado. Esa necesidad se refleja en los datos que SAIZAR solicita para preparar la oferta técnica, donde se pide información detallada de dimensiones, alineación y flujo del material.

Benefits on site

A well-designed forming system helps ensure that packages arrive at the strapping station better prepared and shaped, allowing the line to operate in a more organized manner. By integrating it into the facility’s workflow, you avoid having to handle that preparation off-line and maintain a solution that is more consistent with the rest of the process. This conclusion is supported by how SAIZAR offers the equipment as part of turnkey strapping and packaging projects.

Common benefits of this solution:

  • Improved package preparation prior to strapping.
  • Greater consistency between alignment, transport, and workstation.
  • Seamless integration with other equipment on the line.
  • Customized solution based on product, layout, and productivity.

What we need to prepare a proposal for you

To properly define the forming system, we need to know the product, its weight, its minimum and maximum dimensions, how the product is delivered, and the target productivity. SAIZAR’s questionnaires collect data such as width (A), height (B), length (C), diameter (D), and the package format you wish to achieve using the forming system.

We also need to understand how the material moves and is discharged within the line and what other equipment you wish to integrate into the project. Additionally, SAIZAR requests information on the available space and recommends providing a photo of the installation area and another of the package to better tailor the design to the customer’s needs.

Standard information needed to prepare a quote:

  • Product, weight, and minimum/maximum dimensions.
  • How the package arrives at the forming station.
  • Expected throughput and available space.
  • Equipment you want to integrate with the forming process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What exactly is a package forming system?

It is auxiliary equipment within the strapping and packaging line designed to prepare the package before proceeding with the strapping process.

It is designed as part of an automatic strapping/packaging line and as supplementary equipment within the facility.

It can be used for bundles of profiles, bars, tubes, and pipes, and is also part of our general range of automated production lines.

Key factors include the dimensions of the bundle, how the bundle is fed into the forming station, productivity, and available floor space.

It means that the bale can arrive either maintaining the same center regardless of its width and diameter, or aligned to one of its sides.

Yes, in SAIZAR’s product line-up, the bale forming system is offered alongside automatic compaction and strapping within the same production line.

Yes, SAIZAR requests a photo of the installation site and another of the package to complete the technical information.

Yes, SAIZAR states that it provides turnkey projects and offers technical support and spare parts.
