Case Erecting and Bag Placing
Bagging machine EasyPlast has three great benefits. It is easy to operate, it works 24-hours non-stop (so no production stop) and it is fast: the bagging machine can handle up to 25 boxes, crates or buckets per minute. A quick size change-over is possible and you can add and adjust recipes for each box size. The very compact design is available in a left- or righthanded version.
We would like to explain to you how case erector CombiPlast works. The plano is taken from the plano store at long and short side with vacuum cups, positioned on a two-sided frame. This frame guarantees a fully square folding without friction between vacuum cup and plano. While the box is in the squared position the bottom flaps are mechanically folded. After this two side conveyors transport the box towards the bag inserting position where the bottom flaps are taped as well.
Bag Sealing
The VarioSeal guarantees a continuous operation – there is no change over time. The very compact design is available in a left- or righthanded version. There is an on-screen HD visualisation of warnings and possible machine functions. The bag sealer machine operates stand-alone as well as in any automatic production line.
At the infeed of the VarioSeal the box (or your product carrier) is centered to ensure its position. Optionally the weight of the box is checked in this step. Rejected boxes are ejected onto an error conveyor. The box is then lifted towards the seal unit. Here two vacuum cups pick up the bag on the short sides of the box. The box is now moved downwards to release the bag from the box flaps. Two spreading fingers and a vacuum nozzle are placed in the bag. The spreading fingers take over the bag from the vacuum cups and spread it. A light vacuum to prevent balloon forming is applied on the bag in this step. After that, the bag will be sealed by sealing bars.
Powder Filling
The process starts with selecting the product to be filled. The PowderFiller automatically adjusts to the selected program with the box data and the weight to be filled. The box with bag will be placed on a servo driven lift with weighing scale. When the box is positioned under the servo driven iris-valve the lift will go up placing the box underneath the dust collecting hood. The weighing scale will auto-zero the box and the iris-valve will open starting the filling. The iris-valve can close in two steps giving it a fast and slow filling feature. Depending on the fluidity of the product the slow filling can be adjusted so an accurate filling is guaranteed. A changeover to another product often requires cleaning. Cleaning all the essential parts can easily be done in 15 minutes because of the excellent accessibility of the Powder Filler.
