The trend of automatic gadgets and machines has highly increased the interests of many people and many business industries. We can’t deny the fact that technology has been an important part of the people lives nowadays. The benefit of convenience and comfort given to us by the development of the technology is extremely beyond the expectations of the previous generations. The automatic principles also provided sumptuous help to the industries that manufactures our basic commodities like food. The food industry has been utilizing automated packaging machines in all areas because it is more reliable and efficient compared to the old machines which have been using manual mechanism.
In view to this, food processing and packaging machine manufacturers are continuously designing new mechanisms for automated packaging machines because they have seen the growing needs of food manufacturers and the consumers worldwide. Developments of automatic food packaging machines are ongoing today because machine manufacturers believe that there are still more to discover that will further improve the functionality of these machines. If we go back to the basic mechanism of automated packaging machines like pork packaging machines, productivity rate and accuracy has been introduced first. The automation of poultry and pork packaging machines has significantly increased the productivity rate which in turns provides more supplies to the increasing needs of the consumers. When there is a high productivity rate, the quality of food products especially raw meats are also maintained because there is less time taken in the packaging process. Accuracy on the other hand deals with the size and the packaging operation itself. The use of manual mechanisms with pork packaging machines before is prone to less accuracy compared to automatic food packaging machines of today. The packaging machines today are more accurate because there is a computer program embedded to the machine that has all the exact commands and timing. There is no need for several workers to operate the machines because it can do the tasks by themselves through a few taps or clicks of initiation.
Then, quality and safety are still highly regarded with the new designs of automatic food packaging machines
through the application of modified atmosphere packaging or MAP system. This
kind of system uses natural means of preserving the food products. Therefore we can say that the continuous
studies and development of automatic food processing and packaging machines
would definitely provide more options and benefits in providing a total
processing and packaging solutions in the food industry.
