Keeping the machine footprint small

This California packager of Mediterranean-style food products distributed to wholesalers found a single source for five discrete pieces of packaging equipment.

Greater speed, high reliability, and improved accuracy were the key goals when Propack Inc. of Sun Valley, CA, upgraded its semi-automatic packaging system this summer. Not only did this packager of Mediterranean specialties such as semolina, yellow corn meal, lentil, and garbanzo beans meet all three goals, but it also did so in a uniquely compact and integrated way.

WeighPack Systems Inc. (www.weighpack.com) did the heavy lifting on the supplier side of the installation, which incorporates five WeighPack machines all tied together: an eight-head CombiScale combination scale, a Star Auger filler, an XPdius 800 vertical form/fill/seal bagger, a bucket conveyor, and a screw conveyor. All five are tightly clustered around a single frame, on which sit both the auger filler and the combination scale. This clever arrangement not only saves valuable floor space, but it also makes it possible for Propack to use the same bagger for both fillers.
