| Abstract | The term of "packaging" has become quite popular in today's production, and its technology
has also been greatly developed. However, the application of packaging technology is very
different and mostly depending on nature of the product. For dry powder products, packaging
equipment has been lmown as a combination of form, fill and seal machines, in which the
filler is considered as the heart of the line. A design of a form-fill-seal line is strictly
dependent on specifications of the product and packaging requirements. Of course, a different
design leads to different cost of the machine. In production, cost saving is normally to be
considered as the necessity, but only cost saving is not enough. In production of toxic
products such as pesticide, a machine should replace the manual work for a long-term strategy
even the manual work may cost cheaper. Therefore, this study aimed to solve the packaging
problem in the production of fungicide products at CTU Agro-Chemical Company.
The main purpose of this study was to do a synthetic design of a filling system for two
paiiicular products of Copper-B and Copper-zinc. To meet the target of the study, some tests
to determine specifications of the products and mechanical models were carried out to
confirm the reality of the study. This study also covered on both technical and economic
aspects of the filling machine, so both machine manufacture and customer (the Company) can
take it as a useful document for their decisions. |
