The Junyao JY-ZB1000PF is a specialized horizontal pillow packaging machine engineered specifically for preserved fruits, green plums, dried fruits, and similar moisture-sensitive confectionery products. Manufactured at Xingjunyao Intelligent Packaging Technology's 13,000 m² facility in Taizhou, China, this machine addresses the unique challenges that preserved fruit packaging presents — sticky sugar residues, high moisture content, irregular product shapes, and the need for airtight seals that prevent oxidation and extend shelf life.
Unlike standard horizontal flow wrappers, the JY-ZB1000PF incorporates a moisture-resistant sealing system that maintains seal integrity even when sugar syrups and fruit juices are present on the sealing surfaces. The machine achieves packaging speeds of 30 to 200 packages per minute, making it suitable for both mid-scale artisanal producers and large-volume industrial operations. With a compact footprint of 2400 x 1300 x 1550 mm and a total weight of 800 kg, it integrates smoothly into existing production lines without requiring extensive facility modifications.
The JY-ZB1000PF is built around a PLC-controlled servo-driven architecture, featuring an intuitive HMI touch screen that supports multiple languages for ease of operation by diverse workforces. The photoelectric tracking system ensures precise film registration, while the food-grade stainless steel construction on all product contact surfaces complies with international food safety standards. Since its introduction, the machine has been deployed across preserves manufacturers in over 25 countries, earning recognition for its reliability, cleanability, and consistent seal quality under demanding production conditions.
Key Features
1. Moisture-Resistant Sealing System for Preserved Fruits
Preserved fruits and dried fruits inherently carry high sugar moisture content that can compromise seal integrity on conventional packaging machines. The JY-ZB1000PF solves this with an advanced moisture-resistant sealing system featuring independently controlled upper and lower sealing jaws with precision temperature regulation. The horizontal and vertical sealing modules maintain consistent thermal output across the entire sealing band, ensuring hermetic seals even when fruit juices or sugar syrups are present on the film surface. The sealing temperature range is adjustable from 100°C to 220°C, allowing operators to fine-tune settings based on the specific product and film material combination. This capability dramatically reduces the rate of leaker packages — a common and costly problem in preserves packaging — and ensures that products arrive at retail with full shelf-life integrity.
2. Food-Grade Stainless Steel Contact Parts
Every component that comes into contact with preserved fruits, dried fruits, or packaging film is manufactured from food-grade 304 stainless steel. This includes the feeding conveyor, product infeed chute, sealing jaws, and film guide rails. The stainless steel construction not only meets FDA and EU food contact material regulations but also provides exceptional resistance to the acidic and sugary environments typical of preserves processing. Unlike carbon steel or painted surfaces that can corrode or chip over time, the 304 stainless steel surfaces maintain their hygienic properties throughout the machine's service life. The smooth surface finish with a Ra value of less than 0.8 micrometers prevents product residue buildup and facilitates rapid cleaning between production batches, reducing downtime and cross-contamination risks when switching between different fruit varieties.
3. Gentle Feeding System for Soft and Delicate Preserved Items
Preserved green plums, candied fruits, and soft dried fruits are easily damaged by aggressive mechanical handling, resulting in crushed products and unsightly packages. The JY-ZB1000PF features a specially designed gentle feeding system that uses a low-friction conveyor belt with soft-product-compatible cleats to transport delicate items from the infeed to the wrapping station without bruising or deformation. The feeding speed is synchronized with the film feed rate through the servo control system, ensuring that products are positioned correctly within the packaging film without impact or bouncing. An adjustable product guide accommodates various product sizes and shapes, from whole preserved plums to sliced dried mango strips. This gentle handling capability is critical for premium preserves brands where visual product quality inside the transparent packaging film directly influences consumer purchasing decisions.
4. Easy-Clean Design for Sticky Sugar Residues
Sugar residues from preserved fruits are among the most challenging substances to remove from packaging machinery, often requiring extended cleaning periods that cut into productive production time. The JY-ZB1000PF addresses this with a tool-free disassembly design that allows operators to remove key contact components — including the feeding belt, sealing jaw covers, and film guide plates — without using any tools. These components can be washed separately or wiped down in place, and the open frame architecture provides unobstructed access to internal surfaces. The machine's interior is designed without dead corners or recessed pockets where sugar residue can accumulate. Downtime for cleaning between product changeovers is typically reduced to under 15 minutes, compared to 45 minutes or more on conventional machines. This feature is particularly valuable for producers who run multiple fruit varieties on the same line and need to prevent flavor carryover between batches.
5. PLC Control with Multi-Language HMI Touch Screen
The JY-ZB1000PF is controlled by an industrial-grade PLC system paired with a 7-inch color HMI touch screen that supports English, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, French, and Russian language interfaces. Operators can adjust packaging speed, sealing temperature, film feed length, and photoelectric registration parameters directly through the touch screen without accessing the control cabinet. The system stores up to 50 product recipe profiles, enabling instant recall of all machine settings when switching between different preserved fruit products. Real-time diagnostic feedback on the HMI screen alerts operators to issues such as film breakage, temperature deviation, or servo communication errors, with clear troubleshooting guidance displayed in the selected language. This user-friendly control architecture reduces the learning curve for new operators and minimizes the risk of configuration errors that could lead to product waste or machine damage.
6. Servo-Driven Film Feed with Auto Film Splicing
Film feed is driven by a high-precision servo motor that ensures consistent film tension and accurate bag length cutting, which is especially important for preserves packaging where visual presentation and seal placement affect consumer perception. The photoelectric registration system detects printed eye marks on the film and automatically adjusts the cutting position to maintain centered graphics on every package. When a film roll runs out, the auto film splicing function allows operators to load a new roll and resume production in under 30 seconds without rethreading the entire film path. This feature significantly reduces material waste and production interruptions during roll changes. The film feeding system accommodates a wide range of packaging films including OPP/CPP, BOPP, metallized PET, and laminated films commonly used for preserved fruit packaging, providing manufacturers with flexibility in material selection based on barrier properties and cost considerations.
