Abstract
Packaging of chemicals is quite difficult and generally it is performed manually in
small scale industries. The individual weighing machine and stitching machine are
quite costlier for small scale industrial application. By performing manually, there is
some amount of wastage of product and is quite longer process.
Thus the main purpose of selecting this project is to safely packaging of solid
chemical products.
The advantages of packaging machine are safer in operation, less effort of labour,
faster in operation, increase product packaging quality, simplify material handling and
reduction in cost by combining weighing machine and stitching machine.

Working Of Weighing Machine 38 SODHYATRA First we visited in Rastriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd.,
Macson, L.D. Chemicals, Interchem. All these industries produce chemical products. First two are large scale
industries and another two are small scale industries. Observation: In Rastriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd.
And Macson: Weighing machine, conveyor belt and stitching machine assembly is used for packaging. In L.D.
Chemicals and Interchem : Electrical weighting machine, manual transportation and stitching machine is used.
Problem Facing: Two workers to four workers are required for each packaging assembly and 24 hours
requirement of worker in large scale industries like Rastriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd and Machson.
Minimum three workers are required for each packaging section in small and moderate scale industries like L.D.
chemicals and Interchem. Idea for Solving Problem: If combination of weighing and stitching machine is
possible then one worker can operate 2 to 3 machines and no continuous observation is required. It reduces
time of operation and reduce material wastage. INTRODUCTION Packaging can be defined as "the science, art
and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use". Packaging also
refers to "the process of design, evaluation, and production of packages". Packaging machines are used for
packaging process. Packaging basically of two types. The single item such as water bottle can be regarded as
the item that is primary packaging. Whereas a pack of bottles, shrink wrapped, would be regarded as the
transport package used within the distribution chain is known as "secondary" packaging. It includes filling
machines, sealing machines, wrapping machines, strapping machines, labelling machines and coding
machines. In primary packaging there is direct contact with the product whereas secondary packaging is done
outside of primary packaging. The selection of machine for primary and secondary packaging is depends on
budget, integration, operating cost, machine technology and available floor space. Generally Stainless steel is
used for packaging machine due to its strength, not affectivity with chemicals. Function of Packaging machine:
For protecting product, packaging is necessary. In recent time packaging is done mainly through the use of
packaging machinery. Machinery plays increasingly important roles such as: Improve labour productivity.
Sliding blister sealing machine packaging machinery is much faster than manual packaging. One good example
of this is the candy packing machine. Here, hundreds to thousands of candies can be wrapped in minutes.
Ensure packaging quality. Mechanical packaging is particularly important for exported goods to achieve
consistent packaging. Handle specialized requirements, such as vacuum packaging, inflatable packaging, skin
packaging and pressure filling. Reduce labor and improve working conditions for bulky/heavy products. Protect
workers from health effects brought by dust, toxic/hazardous products and prevent environmental
contamination. Reduce packaging costs and save storage costs for loose products, such as cotton, tobacco,
silk, linen, etc., by simply using compression packaging. Reliably ensure product hygiene by eliminating hand
contact with food and medicines. 1.2 Types of Packaging products: Filling machine: Filling machine is used for
food/beverage packaging. This is use for filling the bottle or pouch. The various types of filling machines are
Auger/agitator filling machines, Flow filling machines, Tablet fillers and Positive displacement pump fillers.
Sealing machine: Sealing machines are used for sealing the filled bags. Both liquid and solid can be bagged by
using this packaging system. Strapping machine: Strapping means banding and bundling. It is the process of
applying a strap to item to combine, hold, reinforce, or fasten it. Wrapping machine: It covers primary
packaging. It is generally use for bulk packaging. Labelling machine: It is use for labialize the product. Cleaning
machine: It is use for cleaning of final product. For example after manufacturing the gear, cleaning machine is
used to remove dust particles before packaging. Drying machine: To remove the moisture from the product,
drying machine is use. Sterilization machinery: It eliminates the biological agents (like virus) from the product.
Container machinery: It is use for transporting container from one place from another place. Multifunction
machine: It can perform multiple operations at the same time. Type of packaging machine according to degree
of freedom: Automatic packaging machine Semi-automatic packaging machine 3. COMPANY PROFILE

MODEL CANVAS (BMC): Business model canvas is used to validate the market significance of products and
services which will be of technology nature in this case. Technology projects are often solutions or processes
that solve a technical problem. However the market implementation of such solutions also require that the
problem solution is designed to overcome not just the technical barriers but also market and business related
barriers of costs, customer reach and collaborations and those that pertain to the practical nature of limited
initial capacities within the team. Thus business model canvas can be used to visualize such market problems
and customer expectations. This exercise will increase the market potential and technology goods and services.
This will make them more effective in market. This exercise will bring discussions on viability and cost
effectiveness. It will enable students to have a clear understanding on the steps required to ensure that
whatever solution they develop as their project should have a user who can afford it with desired needs. 1. KEY

thermoplastic, and polyethylene are also used. These materials provide chemical resistance in case of use for
chemical storage. 7.1.4 Flow control Mechanism : Dimension of rectangular Section : 150 mm x100 mm x120
mm Density of sodium Bi Sulphate = 1.48 gm/cm3 Mass in rectangular section = Density * Volume =
(1.48x150x120x100)/(1000x1000) = 2.664 Kg Force applied = mass x Acceleration due to gravity = 2.664 x 9.81
= 26.13 N 7.2 Measuring Chamber 7.2.1 Measuring Tank: Measuring tanks are the ampules used for measuring
of weight or contains. It is also used for providing protection while filling materials in packages. Generally
aluminium or steel are used. But nowadays thermoplastic or alloy irons are used for their better quality. It is not
connect rigidly. Design Of measuring Tank : Assumption : Design is based on Sodium Bi Sulphate So, Density
of sodium Bi Sulphate = 1.48 gm/cm3 Volume = mass x Density = 50 x1000 / 1.48 = 33783.78 cm3 Length =
Width = Height = 32.33 cm So, Take Length = Width = Height = 40 cm Thickness of Walls = 3cm 7.2.2 Load
Cell : Load cell is used to measure loads applied on measuring tank. Load cell is transducer that is create an
electrical signal which value is equal to the applied potency on the tank. Load cell is connected with the rigid
support and measuring chamber. Control Mechanism 7.3.1Rack and Pinion Mechanism: Rack and Pinion
mechanism is used to convert the rotary motion into linear motion and vice versa. Rack and pinion is used to
control the flow of material. There is A.C. motor is connected with the pinion. A.C. motor drives the pinion and
torque is transmitted to the rack with the meshing of tooth. (i) Design Of Pinion : Force applied on the plate:
Mass on plate = 50kg Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s Co efficient of Friction for Steel = 0.5 to 0.8 Normal
Force = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity = 50x9.81 = 490.5 N Frictional Force = Co efficient of Friction x
Normal Force = 0.8 x 490.5 = 392.4 N Resultant Force = √{(Normal Force)2 + ( Frictional Force)2} (Required) =
√ { 240590.25+ 153977.76} Freq = 628.15 N Now, Assumption: Pitch Circle Diameter (d) = 100 mm Number Of
teeth on pinion(zp) = Number Of teeth on pinion(zg) = 18 So, Module (m) = d/z = 100/18 = 5.55 mm = 6 mm
Addendum (ha) = 1 x m = 6mm Dedendum (hf) = 1.25 x m = 7.5mm Working depth = 2 x m = 12mm Minimum

2. INTRODUCTION
Packaging can be defined as "the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting
products for distribution, storage, sale, and use". Packaging also refers to "the process of
design, evaluation, and production of packages".
Packaging machines are used for packaging process.
Packaging basically of two types. The single item such as water bottle can be regarded as the
item that is primary packaging. Whereas a pack of bottles, shrink wrapped, would be
regarded as the transport package used within the distribution chain is known as "secondary"
packaging.
It includes filling machines, sealing machines, wrapping machines, strapping machines,
labelling machines and coding machines.
In primary packaging there is direct contact with the product whereas secondary packaging is
done outside of primary packaging.
The selection of machine for primary and secondary packaging is depends on budget,
integration, operating cost, machine technology and available floor space.
Generally Stainless steel is used for packaging machine due to its strength, not affectivity
with chemicals.

6. LITERATURE REVIEW:
Abstract:
The packaging industry has advanced leaps and bounds over the few years. The pouch
packaging machines also known as Form Fill and Seal Machines (FFS Machines) are
available over a wide capacity range. A low cost automated packing machine can be used by
small enterprises which would help reduce their cost of plant. This low cost automated
machine uses simple pneumatic, mechanical and electric systems. In this paper we have
presented one such low cost pouch filling machine. An additional weighing and pouring
mechanism has been added to increase the accuracy of the system. The process flow has been
described in detail. Various processes involved in the pouch packaging are neatly aligned and
properly timed to get optimum production rate. A mechatronics system, developed for this
machine, which takes feedback from sensors and accordingly controls the manipulators has
been introduced in this paper. A microcontroller system is used for this particular machine. A
detailed cost comparison between a conventional machine and the one developed by us has
been presented.

variable-ratio steering, is a system that uses different ratios on the rack, in a steering system.
At the centre of the rack, the space between the teeth is smaller and the space becomes larger
as the pinion moves down the rack. In the middle of the rack, you will have a sensitive ratio
and the response becomes a-base as you turn the steering wheel towards lock. This makes the
steering more sensitive, when the steering wheel is close to its centre position and makes it
easier for the driver to steer at low speeds.
Keywords: Rack and Pinion, soildworks, steering geometry, sensitive ratio.
3) Pouch packing machines are commonly known as Form Fill and Seal Machines. There are
classified as two main types– Vertical Form Fill and Seal Machines and Horizontal Form Fill
and Seal Machines. Vertical Form Fill and Seal Machines (VFFS Machine) are used to pack
regular shaped solid products or liquids while, Horizontal Form Fill and Seal Machines are
used to pack irregular shaped products. In this paper we focus on the Vertical Form Fill and
Seal Machines. VFFS machines are widely used in most of the industries to pack products of
various sizes (depending on their weights).
The VFFS Machines are again classified in two ways- According to their type of motion
(Continuous motion and Intermittent motion) and According to their type of automation
(Fully automated and Semi automated). In making of the pouch two seals have to be made
horizontal and vertical as it will be further explained in detail. Intermittent motion machine
makes the vertical seal while the film is in motion but for the horizontal seal the film stops
whereas, the continuous motion machine makes the vertical and the horizontal seal without
stopping the film. Hence, higher production rates can be achieved by the continuous motion
machine. On the other hand, Fully automated machine requires no human intervention while
Semi automated machines require humans to perform some part of packing operation. The
machine discussed in the paper can be classified as an intermittent motion machine or fully
Automatic machine.

8. WORKING OF WHOLE MACHINE :
At initial condition, the measuring chamber is empty. At that time the bag is attached to the
supporting tank and pushes the button. The controlling plates of measuring chamber are open
but there is no any material. So wait for closing of them.
When the control plates are closed, the flow control mechanism operates due to sensor and
material flow occurs. This material falls into measuring chamber.
Measuring chamber is not rigidly connected. There are load cell mounted on the walls of the
measuring chamber. Load cell measures the weight of the material.
At initial condition when measuring chamber is empty, there is only weight of measuring
chamber is applied on load cell. So, Take it as zero weight. Now when material weight is
reached nearer to the 48Kg, the flow control mechanism starts to close and when the weight
is of complete 50 Kg occurs, Flow control valve is closed.
One worker manually pushes button then the controlling plates of measuring chamber are
open and the material fills in the bag passes through the supporting chamber.
One worker manually put the bag on supporting chamber as shown in figure and pushes the
button.
When button pushes, the first operation occurs is to grab the bag, then signal passes to the
servo motor mounted on measuring tank and through rack and pinion mechanism it opens the
control plates.
After 5 seconds of complete opening of control plates, it closes again and signal passes to the
control valve and control valve opens. At same time bag is filled with material and grabbers
are in open position and bag is placed on conveyor belt.
Conveyor belt is in continuous motion and there is transport towards stitching machine.
Stitching machine placed at a distance of 100cm from the machine.
Worker is locked the bag in the stitching machine and again go towards to grab the bag. And
whole operation repeats.
Here the flow control valve is operate with the help of stepper motor, Control plates are
operates with the help of AC servo motor and grabbers are also operates with the help of
stepper motor.
The whole machine is operated with the help of the one worker. And it is semi-automatic.
