This highly flexible design accommodates one or more operators or infeeds and a wide variety of products and bag sizes.
An integrated Allen-Bradley® control package, featuring Kinetix® Servo motors and drives, a CompactLogix™ L45 PLC, and a large, 10" PanelView Plus HMI, is designed for ease of operation, serviceability, integration, and overall system reliability. A simple flash card programs all of the components. The AutoTouch™ Control Software displays real time productivity data and provides easy access to job storage, job recall and on-board system diagnostics.
System-matched SidePouch plastic poly bags provide optimum performance, and offer a variety of special features, such as reclosable zipper bags, gussets, reinforced headers, tamper-evident perforations and more. SidePouch bags are pre-made and fan-folded in a box, eliminating the need for costly machine modifications to utilize their value-added features.
