ADM Packaging Technology is behind the design and development of a new flexible bag collator for the packaging industry.
The Rotopack is used on end-of-line packaging and is located at the end of bagmakers, flow wrappers or any line that requires product collating.
As the bags come off a conveyor and drop down a chute, they land upright in a divider rack in an orderly fashion.
The separated products travel around the table and can be collected and placed into cartons easily, allowing the process to be more efficient, cost effective and profitable.
How it works
As each bag lands, the table indexes forward to accept the next bag and this is done in a continuous and/or intermittent motion.
The Rotopack adapts to speed change as the packs lands into the divider rack and the collated bags make their way around to the packer.
The packer then gently picks up two or more bags at a time and places them into the case.
The process of packing can be cut in half making the collator efficient, fast and effective for packing lines.
Benefits
The Rotopack can collate up to 120 bags/min for any product size and weight able to fit into the different sized divider racks available.
The divider rack has a unique design that allows the bags to be totally separated and can be changed over in five minutes.
The design can also reduce injury by preventing operators from having to lean over the table to pickup bags.
Applications
The Rotopack can collate different bag styles including pillow, gusseted, stand-up pouch and 4 Edge seal bags for the flexible packaging industry.
The types of products that can be packaged range from dried foods, liquids, injection moulded parts and stackable processed foods.
