RSSWeighpack Systems Designs A Complete High Speed Packaging Solution For Lightweight Baked Goods
November 13, 2009
The completely integrated system includes a 14 head Primo Weigher and dual VS Horizontal baggers. To reach required speeds, WeighPack dramatically reduced product travel time between the scale and bagger. This was achieved first by eliminating product spiraling with the Primo Weigher's individual lane chutes, and a catch box system that allowed the product to be double staged. These additions increased production rates by 40%, successfully cycling at more than 60 bags per minute of pita chips in increments of 200 grams.
The VS bagger automatically positions a pre-made wicketed bag, opens it and for waits for product. After loading, the VS Bagger side shifts the bag to the sealer, positions a new bag and repeats the cycle.
