Mango Bag Making Machine Troubleshooting: Common Issues & Fixes for Fruit Cover Bag Production

Introduction

Fruit cover bag making machines, especially those designed for mango protection paper bags, are critical for ensuring high-quality fruit packaging. However, operational challenges can arise during production. This guide addresses common issues with mango bag making machines, their root causes, and proven solutions to optimize performance and extend equipment lifespan.  


1. Paper Jamming Issues

Problem: Paper gets stuck during feeding process  

Causes:  

✓ Incorrect paper alignment  

✓ Worn feed rollers  

✓ Static electricity buildup  

✓ Paper quality issues  

 

Solutions:  

✔ Adjust paper guide rails to ensure straight feeding  

✔ Replace rubber feed rollers every 6-12 months  

✔ Install anti-static brush near unwinding station  

✔ Use paper with proper GSM (60-80gsm recommended)  

 

Prevention Tip: Regularly clean the paper path with compressed air to remove dust accumulation.

 

2. Poor Bag Sealing Quality

Problem: Bag seams open or fail during application  

Causes:  

✓ Insufficient glue application  

✓ Incorrect temperature settings  

✓ Worn pressure rollers  

✓ Paper moisture content issues  

 

Solutions:  

✔ Increase glue nozzle pressure by 10-15%  

✔ Adjust hot melt glue temperature to 160-180°C  

✔ Resurface or replace compression rollers  

✔ Store paper in controlled humidity (40-60% RH)  

 

Pro Tip: Conduct seal strength tests every 2 hours using standard weight method.

 

3. Dimensional Inaccuracy

Problem: Finished bags vary in size  

Causes:  

✓ Belt slippage in conveying system  

✓ Servo motor calibration drift  

✓ Mechanical wear in cutting assembly  

✓ Software programming errors  

 

Solutions:  

✔ Tighten drive belts and check tension weekly  

✔ Recalibrate servo motors quarterly  

✔ Inspect cutting dies for wear patterns  

✔ Verify bag length parameters in control panel  

 

Quality Control: Implement statistical process control (SPC) with hourly measurements.

 

4. Production Speed Fluctuations

Problem: Machine can't maintain consistent speed  

Causes:  

✓ Voltage instability  

✓ Overheating components  

✓ Mechanical binding  

✓ PLC program issues  

Solutions:  

✔ Install voltage stabilizer (±5% tolerance)  

✔ Clean heat sinks on drives and motors  

✔ Check all bearings for smooth rotation  

✔ Reset PLC to factory defaults and reprogram  

 

Performance Tip: Schedule thermal imaging scans annually to detect hot spots.

 

5. Print Registration Problems

Problem: Misaligned logos or text on printed bags  

Causes:  

✓ Web tension fluctuations  

✓ Drying ink smudging  

✓ Worn registration sensors  

✓ Improper plate mounting  

 

Solutions:  

✔ Install web tension controller  

✔ Optimize UV curing settings  

✔ Clean/replace optical sensors  

✔ Verify plate alignment with test runs  

 

Color Management: Standardize ink viscosity checks every 4 hours.

 

6. Motor & Drive System Failures

Problem:  Stepper motors stall, emit unusual noises, or lose torque

Causes:

✓ Voltage spikes or overheating damage motor drivers.  

✓ Dust accumulation or misaligned couplings restrict motor movement.  


Solutions:  

✔ Install surge protectors and ensure proper cooling for high-speed mango bag production.  

✔ Clean gearboxes and apply food-grade lubricants; realign drive shafts.  

 

7. Inconsistent Wire Insertion

Problem: Binding wire misplacement or skipping  

Causes:  

✓ Wire tension too loose/tight  

✓ Misaligned wire guides  

✓ Dull cutting blades  

✓ Wire spool issues  


Solutions:  

✔ Calibrate wire tension to manufacturer specifications  

✔ Realign wire guide tubes monthly  

✔ Replace cutting blades after 50,000 cuts  

✔ Ensure wire spools rotate freely without snags  

 

Key Maintenance: Lubricate wire feed mechanisms weekly with light machine oil.

 

Preventive Maintenance Schedule

 

Extend your mango fruit protection bag making machine lifespan with this maintenance plan:

 

Daily:
