Pacepacker C Series Sack Placer

Operation

Solid construction with small bore vacuum system gives smooth, fast and reliable operation on a wide variety of sack materials. A sack is lifted from the pile by a suction arm, ready for opening. A second suction arm then moves up and the bag is opened, allowing the swing arm blades to enter and grip the bag. The swing arms then rotate up to the sack clamp.

Control System

The C-Series control system utilises the latest PLC technology. The controls are very simple, comprising of a pause/run switch, clamp release switch, clamp timer dial, step function switch, E-stop button and posser on/off switch. Additional controls can be added if required.

Packing Speeds

Packing speeds depend on many factors such as weigher speed, filling time, conveyor speed etc. Typical speed for the C-Series is 600 sacks per hour or 10 bags per minute. However speeds of 720 bags per hour or 12 bags per minute are possible.

Weigher Requirements

Works with almost any fully automatic net or gross weigher or volumetric filler.

Sack Specification

Most commercial quality paper, plastic, WPP and laminated sacks are acceptable, providing they are in good condition and stack neatly. Multiwall paper sacks must be pasted between layers. Plastic sacks must be between 100 and 200 Micron. (400-800 Gauge), must be dry and free from static. WPP sacks must have a tight weave to allow the vacuum system to work. They must be flat and not cut with a hot knife. Unsuitable sacks such as Hessian and Nets can be placed manually via a supplied foot pedal.
