Total Bag Control (TBC) System

Operation

A sack is placed on a spout clamp, either manually, or by any Pacepacker Sackplacer, a pair of fingers then either stretch or reform the gussets of the bag.

A pair of motorised Grip Arms then move around the bag and as it drops from the clamp, they close on the bag, holding it in its formed state.

These arms then motor toward the sealer, releasing the bag into a twin belt feeder. Even very unstable products can be accommodated with ease as the bag top is held at all times prior to sealing, hence TBC – Total Bag Control.

Control System

The stand-alone TBC control system utilises the latest PLC technology. All motor drives are Inverter controlled for perfect speed matching.

Packing Speeds

Packing speeds depend on many factors such as weigher speed, filling time, conveyor speed etc. Typical speed for the TBC is 720 sacks per hour or 12 bags per minute. However speeds of over 800 bags per hour 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. Hessian sacks can be used if they can be placed on the clamp.
