Solid Frame
A solid frame was chosen over a stainless steel tubular
weldment for long term durability. We back this with
a 25-year warranty.
Simplicity
Only 4 of the original 9 cams
remain. Most of the
linkages and adjustment points related to these cams
have been
removed as well, resulting in greatly
improved access for maintenance or changeovers. The
Bottom Bed is now very similar to our Side Sealer
System, as there are no driven parts
Automatic Set-up and Monitoring
Servos, AC drives, Electric Solenoids and Pneumatics now
control most machine functions through a PLC.
These features dramatically simplify set-up and greatly
reduce operator input and adjustment. Critical set-up
systems are automatically measured and will not allow
the machine to run if they are out of specification.
Machine set-up can be accomplished 2 ways; by selection
of a product on the standard touch screen, or by
selection of a “Size to Pusher” option (Patent Pending).
Either way automatically measures the pusher plate, top
end and cross-feed and sets the correct positions.
Remote Access
The control system is Ethernet / Modem
ready for
remote troubleshooting and monitoring. Most machine
functions can be diagnosed remotely without the time
delay of dispatching a technician. Costs associated
with equipment service, and more
importantly down
time, can be greatly reduced with this feature.
Load Sharing and POD
Packaging on Demand (POD) is a feature to save machine
wear. If
product is not present, it will sequentially shut
down or idle subsystems of the machine and “wake up”
when product is again present. In multiple unit
installations, product load to each machine can be
sensed. If
one machine is idled, the remaining units can
increase speed to help absorb the load.
Film Feed
The standard paper feed system requires only the
operator to load the film
and set the width. The rest of
the system is automatic and
requires no operator
adjustments.
The film spool sits on a pair of rollers that
are driven with an AC drive and controlled by a dancer
sensor. This is less complicated
and less expensive than a
servo controlled unit that pulls the film through a series
of rollers.
An automatic film splicer is available as an option.
Production is never interrupted or slowed down during
film changes and the splice is hardly noticeable.
Sealing
The patented Side Sealer System is undisputedly
recognized as the best in the industry. So much so, that
our customers have installed them on competitive
machines. With no driven parts, flexibility of
arrangement
and very accurate temperature control, it
continues to lead the industry
.
