Rotary Gate Packer
New rotary gate system increases drops to over 110 per minute.
COLONIAL HEIGHTS, VA - June 11, 2001
What it is... A gravity packer that allows you to pack a wide variety of packaged products directly into the secondary containers at extremely high speeds.
Applications... Ideal for bags of fresh or frozen vegetables, IQF chicken, and a wide variety of other flexible packaging.
Why it is new... Apply BluePrint Automation's twenty plus years of experience in gravity case packing, with a rotary gate system that allows for extremely high drops per minute. BluePrint's previous drop packer was mechanically limited to 60 drops per minute. The new rotary gate system allows the products to drop at much higher rates. We are running several units in production at over 110 drops per minute or 330 packages per minute!
The benefits... Extremely Simple: Very few mechanical, electrical, or pneumatic components which equals less spare parts to stock and higher productivity's. Small and Compact: A footprint that works with virtually any layout!
How it works... Product enters the rotary packer on a conveyer belt. For slow speeds, and single bag drops, product transfers directly to the rotary gates. For higher speeds, with multiple bags per drop, an indexing gate forms groups of product, which enter the rotary gates as a single group. The gates then rotate at high speed, dropping the row/layer of product directly into the case. If needed, high speed case shifting for multiple row patterns or high case rates, can be provided.
