Description

The Pregis Sharp™ Max 12 automated bagger machine is one of the most configurable on the market and one of the many packaging machines we sell. It’s the pillar automated system your business needs to transform packaging and shipping operations. Efficiently expedite your bagging processes with a more complex yet user-friendly integration that creates seamless shipping operations. The result is safe and secure packaging of undamaged and professional-looking bags.

This equipment has a proven less than 9-month return on investment. The typical ROI is 6-9 months, depending on throughput and labor costs.

Features of Pregis Sharp™ Max 12 Automated Bagger Machine

User-friendly, Easy-to-Integrate Technology

  • Inline thermal printing on integrated Zebra printers
  • Technology advancements such as human machine interface (HMI), a networkable touchscreen PC running Windows® 7 embedded, and an Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1400 PLC
  • Run-labeling software to easily create labels on the PC, save them, and then add them to a particular job. The label format is saved for future needs!
  • High-speed counter: prints 50% faster than manual printers
  • Pulse train output
  • Network capabilities
  • Reduced cycle times with a lighter-weight aluminum jaw

Loading Versatility

  • Adjusts to a wide range of heights (the entire machine moves up or down for added convenience)
  • Run multiple jobs/tasks at the same time with vertical and horizontal loading capabilities
  • Horizontal loading for heavy or stuffable products (90˚ rotation capabilities)

Highly-efficient Operation

  • Safeguards consistent opening for both manual and automated scenarios with a mechanical bag open assembly
  • Long-lasting heated sealing mechanism minimizes critical wearable parts
  • Reduced scrap and materials costs and no queuing due to moveable printing head
  • Thermal ribbon usage reduced by as much as 90% with simple adjustments
  • Printer controls are viewed directly on the bagger HMI (No extra work managing multiple monitors or displays for the bagger and printing system)
  • Control, recall stored labels or even create customized labels directly on the single HMI

Access Data Anywhere

  • HMI, printer, and PLC can be networked, permitting optional remote support and diagnostics
  • Remote label printing
  • Production reporting
  • SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) control

Simple Maintenance

  • Off-the-shelf, nonproprietary parts mean reduced lead times when a replacement part is needed
  • Color touchscreen display provides troubleshooting guidance with exploded view drawings, manufacturer and part numbers, and HTML help files with hyperlinks to explain any term
