Discussion on New Packaging Methods for Weapons Maintenance Equipment (I)

Abstract In view of the existing problems in the current packaging of weapon maintenance equipment, three new packaging methods, namely blister packaging, body packaging, and shrink packaging, were proposed to reform the packaging of equipment, and three kinds of packaging methods, including material selection, mechanical selection and technology, were summarized. Determine the general principles and methods.

1 Introduction

Weapon maintenance equipment refers to various materials required for the maintenance and matching of weapons and equipment. It is the material basis for equipment support and an important factor that affects the intact rate and combat effectiveness of equipment. In accordance with the military strategy guidelines for the new period and the needs of combat missions in Taiwan, the headquarters has determined the general requirements for the implementation of the "basicization of storage, transportation and containerization, management informatization, and safeguarding of field operations" for weapons maintenance equipment, and realized the "four modernizations" guarantee. Standardization of packaging is a prerequisite. To this end, we have reformed weapons maintenance equipment packaging and accumulated some experience and achieved certain results. This paper intends to combine packaging reforms to realize the modernization, standardization, and series of weapons maintenance equipment packaging on how to use new packaging technologies, materials, and new processes. Turn to some discussion.

2 Current Packaging Methods and Problems of Weapons Maintenance Equipment

The existing weapons maintenance equipment packaging of our army is mainly carried out in accordance with the relevant requirements of GJB 1767-93 "General Specification for Gun Spare Parts and Tool Packaging", and the equipment packaging forms are divided into four categories: inner packaging, middle packaging, outer packaging, and tray collection packaging. Inner packaging mainly uses No. 2 soft film oil protection by first wrapping with 0.03PE film, and then isolating with 0.06~0.08PE film, and then wrapping in neutral paper or kraft paper and sealing in a plastic bag; The main use of single corrugated cardboard cartons or cartons for packaging. The packaging method basically accords with the protection function of the packaging, and can better protect the equipment from being damaged in the process of storage, mounting, and transportation; it also basically achieves the convenient function of the packaging, which is convenient for storage and transportation, and facilitates rapid batch receiving and delivery in the warehouse. However, from the perspective of modern logistics management and military logistics theory, there are still the following problems:

a. Packaging is not intuitive. The neutrality paper, kraft paper and corrugated paperboard of packaging materials are not transparent, and the packaging effect is not intuitive. It is not easy to identify and count the equipment, resulting in a large workload for sending and receiving warehouses and military equipment, and it is prone to errors. It is difficult to realize information management and formation. Modern logistics management system.

b. Inconvenient to use. Since there are multiple spare parts in one unit, the force must be disassembled and used when using the unit, destroying the tightness of the package and affecting the protective performance of the package; at the same time, the equipment must be deoiled after unsealing, which affects the maintenance of the maintenance equipment. Efficiency does not meet the requirements of safeguarding the field.

c. Storage and transportation take up space. Containerized transportation is the development trend of modern high-tech warfare equipment protection. It is a means to implement field protection. The existing packaging methods and equipment are stored and transported in units of medium-sized packaging. Corrugated paper boxes occupy more container space, increasing The number of containers also increased the demand for capacity.

d. Poor packaging efficiency. Inner packaging equipment wrapping and equipment bagging, medium packaging corrugated carton forming and equipment loading and so on mainly rely on manual operation, and there are many technological processes, so it is difficult to realize mechanization and automation. Batch packaging requires more manpower resources and lower packaging efficiency. The packaging cost is relatively high.

3 Application of Modern Packaging Technology in Weapon Maintenance Equipment Packaging

With the rapid development of science and technology, modern packaging has formed a complete industrial system using advanced technology, materials and equipment for mechanized automated production, especially the emergence of plastics, chemical fiber, composite materials, and hydraulic, pneumatic, microelectronics and computer technology. The application of transmission, detection, metering and control has enabled the rapid development of modern packaging technology. At present, there are dozens of packaging technologies and methods. Typical examples are shock-proof packaging, anti-mildew packaging, moisture-proof packaging, moisture-proof packaging, waterproof packaging, rust-proof packaging, insect-proof packaging, blister packaging, body-pack packaging, and shrink packaging. Stretch packaging, vacuum packaging, inflatable packaging, deoxygenation packaging and so on. For the characteristics of weapons maintenance equipment, after repeated practice, blister packaging, body packaging, shrink packaging is more suitable for standardization of weapons maintenance equipment packaging, here to focus on the discussion, focusing on the selection of packaging materials, packaging machinery selection, packaging technology determined General principles and methods.

3.1 Blister packs

Blister packs, also known as foam packs, are a method of wrapping a pack between a blister formed of a transparent plastic film and a substrate made of a composite material. This packaging method was primarily used for packaging of tablets, capsules, suppositories, etc. Nowadays, some foods, daily necessities, toys, etc. are also widely used. Used in the field of weapon maintenance equipment packaging, it is mainly used to package spare parts with length, width and height of less than 220mm, 75mm and 24mm, respectively.

3.1.1 Main Features

Blister packs have the following characteristics:

a. Intuitive packaging, transparent blisters are easy to see the shape and size of the equipment, the substrate can print basic information such as equipment code, name, specification number and bar code, which is convenient for equipment identification and counting, avoiding sending and receiving errors;

b. Good sealing performance, moisture-proof, waterproof and dust-proof, creating conditions for vapor-phase rust-proof packaging, together with vapor-phase rust-proofing agent, good anti-rust effect;

c. It is easy to unseal and easy to use. When using a single device, it does not affect the sealing of other devices.

d. Light weight, in addition to a certain degree of elasticity of bubble cap, good cushioning, packing without buffer material, saving storage space.
