WeighPack Systems rolls out new bagger

WeighPack Systems has introduced the Breezy Bagger, a compact machine designed and built with a tilting function that allows users to pack, wrap and bag many type of products both vertically and horizontally. The bagger is designed specifically to package all types of shaped products into either a laminated or polyethylene material.

The pivoting function allows the machine to tilt from a horizontal position to almost vertical. The product being wrapped or bagged can be hand loaded or fed automatically with many types of ancillary machines and methods. The bag width and length are fully adjustable with no change parts and no forming shoulder and tube. The hand crank adjustment for pack width can adjust from 2 inches wide to almost 12 inches. The bag length can vary from 2 inches to 36 inches.

The Breezy Bagger includes three choices of logic including one that adjusts to the length of product every cycle. The machine will detect the length of product and make the bag according to the length of product. An operator can feed a product of 6 inches long for a few minutes, and then feed a product 12 inches long with no adjustment. The other sequences of operation enable production of a fixed bag length either above or below the seal jaws.

The Breezy Bagger can be used for many applications and industries. In the vertical position the Breezy Bagger can bag a single bell pepper or three, one celery stalk or two. In the horizontal position it can wrap products in a tray much like a horizontal flow-wrapper.

The Breezy Bagger uses servo driven technology for fast and precise adjustment as well as a very user-friendly color touch screen HMI, according to WeighPack. It can operate either automatically or semi-automatically. The machine comes complete with a foot pedal and auto cycling. Options include photo eye registration for printed film, gas flushing capabilities, auto infeed and more.

The Breezy Bagger can cycle and produce up to 30 packs per minute and is relatively inexpensive. An end user can achieve a quick ROI by using roll stock instead of pre-made bags, according to the company.
