Does the granule filling machine need to consider power consumption when running?

The granule filling machine must consider power consumption during operation, which not only affects production costs but also affects equipment stability and lifespan. The following is a specific analysis:

●The direct impact of device basic power consumption
The driving system of the granule filling machine itself (such as the motor and conveyor belt) is the main power consumption. For example, the rated power of a standard granule vertical packaging machine is usually around 1.8 kW (such as the TH-320 model on website 30). If operating at high load for a long time, the cost of electricity will significantly increase, especially in high-frequency production scenarios.

●Energy consumption differences in the feeding system
The physical properties of granular materials, such as granule size and flowability, directly affect the power consumption of the feeding mechanism. For example, when conveying granules with high viscosity or easy clumping, the resistance of the screw feeder increases, requiring higher power drive (refer to the "high operating resistance and high power consumption" characteristics of the screw conveyor in webpage 15). On the contrary, granules with good fluidity can reduce the load on the feeding motor.

●The correlation between precision control and energy consumption
Insufficient filling accuracy can lead to overfilling (such as adding 1 gram of material), resulting in long-term accumulation of raw material waste and indirectly increasing energy consumption per unit of production. The use of high-precision control systems (such as servo motor drives) can reduce such losses (as mentioned in webpage 36, "Precision calibration is the foundation of accurate filling").

●The impact of equipment compatibility on efficiency
If the power system of the filling machine (such as motor power) does not match the load, two types of problems will occur:
'Little horse pulling big car': The motor runs under overload for a long time, causing increased heating and a rise in failure rate (according to webpage 21, 'actual working current exceeds the set value by more than 40%' belongs to this situation);
Big horse pulling small car ": High power motors operate inefficiently, power factor decreases, and energy utilization is low (webpage 21 emphasizes the need to match motors according to load inertia).
