The solution for limiting plastic material consumption and achieving high productivity involves the use of moderately thick conveyor belts that are interchangeable to adapt to the size of products.
This is an operating mode that is easily adapted to the length of products and their weight. They can be used for single or side-by-side bagging of products, such as ham or poultry logs, mortadella, and salami in single or multiple packs. The device is also suitable for packaging traditional shape cooked products.
Functioning
The advancement device drags the bag, which rests on the product by wrapping it, to fit into an in-line vacuum heat sealer with a head sealing bar, such as our TSVCC (also usable for flow pack products), which still minimizes surplus while allowing high productivity. Another solution, particularly suitable for products up to 80 cm long and transversely stable, involves a diverter that operates in synchronism with the conveyor belt of a lid vacuum heat-sealing machine with belt.
We also propose a robotic solution, for automatic bagging and loading of belt machines, with a grasper for picking up taped bags with a 12 ” sides” conformation, which is closest to the circular section of the product, or with 4 sides, in any case capable of flattening the mouth to prepare it for heat-sealing.
An automatic packaging machine with high productivity (up to 900 pcs/h), using taped bags, completes our proposal, particularly suitable for medium-length products, such as bresaola or coppa, or even for ham in pieces.
