Working principle

Most manual spout inserting machines use heat sealing technology:

1. The operator places the spout into the pre-cut hole in the packaging material.

2. The heating elements of the machine apply controlled heat and pressure to the area around the spout.

3. Heat melts the packaging material (or heat activation layer) and fuses it to the spout to form an air-tight leak-proof seal.

4. After a short cooling, the sealed package can be filled, labeled or shipped.

Some advanced models of spout inserting machines also offer adjustable temperature and pressure Settings to accommodate different packaging materials (for example, thin plastic with thick composite film) and nozzle sizes (the most common range is 5 mm to 30 mm).

If you offer custom packaging services (for example, personalized gift bags with spouts for holding delicious snacks), manual spout inserting machines can enable you to handle one-time orders or small-batch customer orders efficiently.

It is easily portable and can be used in a home office or small warehouse.


How to Operate a Manual Spout Inserting Machine (Step-by-step Instructions)

Manual spout inserting machine are very easy to operate - follow these steps to get a perfect seal every time:

    

Step 1: Prepare the materials

Prepare the package (pouch, bag, or container) with the nozzle, and make sure the nozzle hole is clean and cut correctly (no jagged edges, which can cause leaks). Check whether the nozzle is clean and free of debris (especially important for food or medicine).

Step 2: set the machine

1. Turn on the power and start the machine.

2. Adjust the temperature according to the packaging material (refer to the material manufacturer's guide).

3. Preheat machine - most models need 3 to 5 minutes.When the correct temperature is reached, the ready light will light up.

4. Adjust the pressure (if your machine has this feature) to match the material thickness.

Step 3: Seal the spout

1. Hold the package in one hand, the spout in the other, Put the spout onto the opening of the packaging bag body, making sure the opening is aligned with the spout and fits closely. The bottom of the spout should be flush with the surface of the packaging.

2. Place the spout and package under the sealing clamp so that the sealing position is aligned with the heating plate.

3. Apply pressure through the foot pedal or by closing the machine handle to perform heat sealing treatment on the bag opening.During this process, parameters such as temperature, pressure and time should be controlled to ensure that the seal is firm and does not damage the bag or spout.

Adjust the temperature of the spout inserting machine according to the characteristics of the material to avoid melting the material too high or sealing the machine too low.

4. Release the handle and let the bag cool for 1-2 seconds.The sealing quality should be carefully checked, including sealing, flatness and aesthetics.If there are any defects, rework in time, slightly adjust the temperature or pressure, and then test again.

Step 4: Cleaning

After use, turn off the machine and unplug the power supply.Once the machine has cooled, wipe the heating plate and body with a damp cloth (use mild cleaners if needed, but avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the heating plate).

When used for food or medicine, please disinfect the sealed area with food safety disinfectant.
