Prodec Side Loading Case Packer FL-3

• Three loading stations: forming, filling and closing of cases
• Occupies small amount of space
• Rapidly changes the mechanical format and stores them in a PLC.
• No introduction device in the absence of case
• Electrical and mechanical protections as per regulations
• Designed for medium/high per minute case production
• Valid for RSC case
• Reaches an output of up to 17 cases/minute

CASE MAGAZINE:
Horizontal case store with motor. store length 1000 mm. As the cases are removed from the system, a case presence detector causes the progress of the tape ensuring that the product is always ready for removal. When the store is empty (or there are an insufficient number of cases for smooth operation), the machine is stopped and a visual signal warns the operator of the lack of cases. Optionally you can install an additional detection of the minimum number of cases that must always be present at the store so that the operator can reload before a machine stop.

SHAPE OF CASE:
Removing the unit by folding cartons using suckers installed on a semicircular arm with mechanical movement. Forced opening of the case by a suction cup system and a mechanism for side squaring with presence and formation detection of the case.

DRAGGING OF THE CASE:
Transporting pre-opened case to the packaging station through a system of drag chains.

INSERTION OF THE CASE:
Combined introducer group using pneumatic pusher, which with the help of a guide of the case flaps installed thereto, ensure transfer process of set of product packs into the case.

PRODUCTION:
The equipment can absorb normal production of 17 cases per minute.

MAN/MACHINE INTERFACE:
All security or system failure elements, such as accumulation of product on the store conveyor, poorly sealed doors or protections, presence of case, malformed case, lack of air pressure, etc are displayed on a touchscreen built into the control panel for quick location. The touch screen performs the function of man/machine interface, helping to quickly solve any problems which may have occurred in machine because of two utilities: Editing of error messages. Fault location. Being an open system, the staff has access to counters, timers, etc. without the need of specialized personnel, because of the simplicity of its use. The system offers the possibility of giving a complete history of the state of the machine: Number of cycles. Number of cases. Number of case failures. Number of introduction failures. Hours of machine running. All electrical machine command is centralized in a PLC, allowing versatility and speed or system changes.

Compact design:
All the functions described are developed in a versatile, efficient and compact equipment, occupying a small and simple handling space for the operator. Robust and transparent from any constructive conception angle, it allows one to observe all mechanisms and operational functionality from the outside.

Accessible:
The clean, open design without mechanical barriers, greatly simplifies all interventions required on the equipment, whether by a change in format or a simple cleaning and maintenance regulation or routine.

Flexible:
Its advanced concept allows an expansion of its functions or increasing workstations to suit the required production needs, both in forming and filling.

Ergonomics:
We have used specific design methods for its development to optimize the comfort and convenience of staff working on the machine.

Information Management:
A powerful software developed by our technical team allows you total control over the device functions. You can also perform simple formatting changes through the incorporated touch screen. Through this, it is possible to verify production efficiency for shifts or slots, making it an effective analytical instrument. It is ready to integrate various lines of work according to the standard OMAC.
