GeneralELITEWEIGH Stick Weigher and RotoBagger
The PLAN IT Packaging ELITEWEIGH Stick Weigher and RotoBagger combination provides an innovative and efficient solution for precision packaging. The ELITEWEIGH Stick Weigher is equipped with 16 heads, specially designed to handle stick crackers, ensuring they are correctly oriented and stand up in the package. It boasts high accuracy that meets “e” standards, utilizing a load-cell-controlled main vibrator for product level adjustment. The weigher features a stepper-motor system and memory cups, along with a uniquely designed collection chute for sticks, air vibrators for settling the sticks, and a three-level clapping system for optimal weighing. With a weighing range of 20 g to 150 g, this system offers easy changeovers for products like pretzels and ring crackers. Additional features include a digital colour touchscreen, tare zeroing, and statistical calculations, all secured against electrical failure for maximum reliability.
The RotoBagger complements the ELITEWEIGH Stick Weigher by providing an advanced packaging solution ideal for businesses scaling up their operations. It delivers outstanding performance for mid-to-high-level applications, capable of packaging up to 30-35 bags per minute in high-production environments. Its robust design and superior efficiency ensure reliable operation 24/7, making it an excellent fit for production lines seeking excellence and productivity. Together, these machines offer a streamlined, high-performance packaging system that enhances efficiency and accuracy, driving growth and success for your business.
RoboPacker and RotoBagger
The PLAN IT Packaging RotoBagger + RoboPacker system. It’s an eight-station system that will pick up your pouches, open the zipper, open the gusset, fill the pouch, seal the pouch, and exit out a completed product at speeds of up to 30-35 bags per minute. It can be outfitted with our ELITEWEIGH multi-head weighers, auger fill systems, and your liquid fillers, so all your different types of products that you may already be doing manually on your pre-made pouches can be automated with our system. The RotoBagger is then paired with our RoboPacker line, where the finished exiting pouches of your products go through a RoboPacker that erects a case, tapes the bottom, and indexes an open box ready to fill. Our vision system scans these pouches as they pass through. Our three-axis Omron pick-and-place robot then picks these pouches, orients them, and configures them in the pattern of your choice. After that, it closes and seals the box to be processed by one of our palletizing systems, making it ready for delivery to your customers and distribution partners worldwide.
The RoboPacker eliminates manual labour, which might leave space for mistakes. These machines confirm fault-free, fast, and firm taping and packaging, operating at variable speeds of up to 30 packs per minute.
