PRODUCTION LINE PLANNING GUIDE

Build the Line Around Your Product and Packaging Process

An integrated line is more than a group of machines connected by conveyors. Each station must share compatible containers, speeds, transfer heights, controls and quality requirements.

Start with four essentialsProduct propertiesPackage samplesTarget outputRequired processes
Liquid Bottling LinesWater, beverages, oils and free-flowing liquids Paste Filling LinesSauces, creams, gels and viscous products Powder Packaging LinesPowder filling, capping, sealing and packing Granule Packaging LinesGranular dosing and container or pouch packaging
01

A Complete Packaging Line Can Include

01Material Preparation

Mixing, heating, homogenizing, storage and product transfer.

02Container Handling

Unscrambling, feeding, rinsing, cleaning and positioning.

03Filling or Dosing

Meter liquids, pastes, powders or granules into each package.

04Closing & Sealing

Apply caps, corks, lids, plugs, induction seals or film seals.

05Labeling & Inspection

Add labels and codes, then verify weight, metal or visual quality.

06End-of-Line Packaging

Cartoning, case packing, shrink wrapping, palletizing and transport.

02

Choose the Right Integration Level

Compact Line

Several essential operations in a smaller footprint for lower to medium output.

Best for: limited floor space and growing production
Modular Automatic Line

Independent machines connected by conveyors and coordinated for continuous production.

Best for: flexible processes and future expansion
Monoblock System

Multiple operations share a compact machine platform and synchronized handling system.

Best for: stable packages and controlled high-speed transfer
Turnkey Production System

Integrates upstream processing, primary packaging, inspection and end-of-line automation.

Best for: complete new projects and plant upgrades
03

Information Needed for Line Configuration

Product

Viscosity, density, particles, foaming, temperature, corrosion and hygiene needs.

Container

Material, shape, dimensions, opening, stability and available size range.

Closure

Cap, lid, cork or seal type; dimensions; torque or pressing requirements.

Production

Fill volume, containers per minute, shifts, changeover frequency and operators.

Factory

Available footprint, line direction, power, compressed air, drainage and access.

Quality

Accuracy, material grade, washdown, inspection, coding and traceability needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ZONESUN combine machines into one complete production line?

Yes. The configuration can connect product preparation, container handling, filling, closing, labeling, inspection and end-of-line packaging according to the project requirements.

Can a line be customized for an existing factory layout?

Line direction, conveyor routing, working height and station arrangement can be evaluated using the available floor plan and utility locations.

How do I determine the required line speed?

Use the required finished output per shift and account for product changeovers, cleaning, refilling, operator activity and expected operating efficiency.

Can different bottle or package sizes run on one line?

Often yes, within a confirmed range. Some formats require guide-rail adjustment, recipes or dedicated change parts. Send samples for compatibility testing.

Can new equipment connect to my existing machines?

Potentially. Provide the existing machine specifications, control signals, transfer height, conveyor speed and layout so the interface can be assessed.

What should I provide before requesting a production-line proposal?

Send product details, container and closure samples or drawings, fill weight or volume, target output, required processes, factory layout and local utility information.
