Packaging equipment is essential to many industries that are involved in the packaging of products. However, like any other technical equipment, it may require regular maintenance and repair. One of the most important aspects of such maintenance is the replacement of spare parts. In this article, we will look at the most common spare parts for packaging equipment and their main characteristics.

Knives
Knives are one of the most important spare parts for packaging equipment. They are used to cut the materials that form the packaging, such as film or paper. Disc knives are used to cut film to specified sizes, while perforating knives are used to create perforations in the packaging. The main characteristics of knives are diameter, material, number of teeth, angle and sharpness.

Welding pads
Welding pads are used to create airtight welds on packaging. They are an important spare part for welding equipment. The main characteristics of welding pads are the material of manufacture, thickness and shape.

Conveyor belts
Conveyor belts are used to transport packages from one station to another on packaging equipment. The main characteristics of conveyor belts are width, thickness, material and connection type.

Rubber seals
Rubber seals are used to create an airtight connection between different parts of packaging equipment. The main characteristics of rubber seals are their material, size and shape.

Teflon inserts
Teflon inserts are used to prevent materials from sticking to the surface of the equipment. They are used in places where there is significant friction. The main characteristics of Teflon inserts are size and shape.

Heating elements
Heating elements are used to heat film or other material before packaging. The main characteristics of heating elements are power, voltage and material.

Temperature sensors
Temperature sensors are used to monitor the temperature at various stages of the packaging process. The main characteristics of temperature sensors are measuring range, accuracy and signal type.

Photocells
Photocells are used to detect packages on the conveyor. They are used to automatically control the packaging process. The main characteristics of photocells are measuring range, accuracy and signal type.

Springs
Springs are used to provide the right amount of clamping force at different stages of the packaging process. The main characteristics of springs are length, diameter and stiffness.

Plastic asterisks
Plastic sprockets are used to transmit motion on various parts of packaging equipment. They can be used as movable connectors for different parts of the packaging line or as fasteners to secure other parts. The main characteristics of plastic sprockets are size, shape and material. They can be made of different types of plastic depending on the strength and friction resistance requirements.
