2. Jam and Jelly Packaging Types: Scientific Material-Device Pairing
Packaging Type | Ideal Products | Recommended Equipment | Core Advantages |
Glass Jars | Premium jams/gift sets | Vertical Filling Machine + Smart Capper | ±1% filling accuracy, supports irregular bottles |
Metal Cans | Industrial jelly bases | Full-Automatic Canning Line | High-pressure sterilization, 5,000 cans/hour |
Spout Pouches | Kids’ snacks/portable | Servo-Controlled Pouch Packager | 5-200ml capacity, 5-min film change |
Success Story: How Liuzhoume Transformed a Jelly Producer with Smart Packaging Machines
Client X (USA), a mid-sized supplier of jelly packing for bakery chains, faced critical challenges in scaling production:
- Capacity Bottlenecks: Outdated semi automatic filling machine(1,600 cans/hour) struggled during peak seasons.
- Labor Dependency: Manual sealing required 3 workers (25% labor cost), typical of legacy food packaging equipment.
- Quality Risks: 3% leakage due to poor sealing, costing $120k/year — a crisis for jam and jelly making supplies
Liuzhoume’s Customized Fixes:
- Diagnostics: Detected ±5% errors in jam filling machineaccuracy (vs. ±2% legal limit) and subpar sealing pressure (0.4MPa vs. 0.6MPa standard).
- Upgrades:
- Installed a servo-driven filling system(±1% accuracy) + automated sealing machine with pneumatic pressure control.
- Integrated AI vision inspection for jelly packages, slashing defects from 3% to 0.2%.
- Built a fully automated packaging line(washing → filling → sealing → inspection → boxing) with HMI control, reducing operators from 6 to 1.
Results:
- 500% Capacity Surge: 1,600 → 5,000 cans/hour using high-speed packaging machines.
- Cost Savings:
- **$78k/year labor reduction** (via automated packaging equipment).
- **$117.6k/year leakage savings** (precision liquid filling machine+ robust packaging materials).
- ROI in 3 Months: Secured a $3.2M contract with a top bakery chain — a testament to custom packaging machines driving scalability.
3. Differentiation Strategies: Stand Out with Smart, Sustainable Packaging
Strategy 1: Sustainable Packaging
- Use eco–friendly packaging materials like PLA spout pouches (48% lower CO2) and lightweight glass (30% lighter, BPA-free).
- Liuzhoume’s food packaging machines support 0.02-0.2mm eco-materials, ensuring EU/Walmart compliance.
Strategy 2: Smart Packaging
- QR code tracing + thermo-sensitive caps (logo reddens if overheated).
- Patented 0.1mm laser coding for curved surfaces (90% scan-rate boost).
Strategy 3: Custom Designs
- Hexagonal honey jars, gradient pouches; flexible lines enable 2-hour design swaps.
- French Client Y’s Christmas jam gift boxes sold out in a week.

5. Equipment Maintenance Guide: Critical Actions to Extend Lifespan
5.1 Daily Maintenance: Eliminate Residues & Friction
Cleaning:
- Steps:
- Use food-grade detergent + soft brush on valves/pipes.

- Risk: Hardened residues reduce filling accuracy by ±3% within 24 hours.
Lubrication:
- Key points:
- Rails/bearings: Apply food-grade silicone grease (120°C-resistant) every 8 hours.
- Gearbox: Replace ISO VG68 oil every 500 hours.
5.2 Quarterly Calibration: Ensure Precision
Weight Sensor Calibration:
- Test with ±0.1g weight at 5kg/10kg/20kg points (error ≤±0.5%).
- Use Liuzhoume’s remote calibration software for real-time adjustments.
Pneumatic/Hydraulic Checks:
- Maintain 0.6-0.8MPa pressure; replace HM46 hydraulic oil annually.
5.3 Annual Overhaul: Full System Renewal
Wear-Part Replacement:
Part | Replacement Cycle | Criteria |
Silicone Seals | 6-12 months | 30% elasticity loss or >0.5mm cracks |
Pump Rotors | 2-3 years | ≥5% flow deviation |
Servo Motor Brushes | 3 years | <1/3 original length |
Comprehensive Inspection:

- Electrical: 72-hour PLC stress tests + wiring replacements.
5.4 Safety Protocols
Pre-Maintenance:
- Power off + release air pressure. Wear cut-resistant gloves & goggles.
Special Conditions:
- Humidity control (<60%) to prevent circuit damage.
- Neutralize acidic residues with 5% sodium bicarbonate.
