Row Stacker
First proven solution for loading pouches of all sorts.
COLONIAL HEIGHTS, VA - October 16, 1998 - BluePrint Automation introduces the Row Stacker, the first proven system to automatically load pouches into single face displayable containers at speeds over 120 bags per minute.
Applications... Gusseted pouches with dried soups, pastas, rice varieties. Bags with pet treats, snacks, candies etc.
Why It Is New... Up until now there was no proven solution for this high-speed application, because of the wedge-shaped bags, creating an unstable stack. While the first applications have been for wedge-shape pouches, the machine can be applied easily for regularly shaped pouches as well.
The Benefits... It is a very simple machine, using minimum pneumatics combined with no more than 3 frequency controlled AC motors for all collation. Provides automation at a very reasonable price. Minimum maintenance requirements.
How It Works... Pouches are stacked onto each other in a cassette area. The cassette has a special shape to accommodate the wedge shape of the gusseted bags. Once a complete case load has been accumulated, the stack of bags is side pushed into a 90 degree tipped case. During the process of emptying the cassette, the new incoming bags are staged and buffered onto a smart belt system. Once the cassette is ready to receive a new load, it receives and stacks the accumulated bags in one continuous motion.
