BUDPAK has installed a bag turner at Mitavite’s Somersby plant as part of the horse feeds production line.
The inline bag turner was located immediately downstream of the heat sealer. It clamps the sealed bags’ tops, rotates them ninety degrees, before releasing them in the correct orientation to the palletiser.
The bag turner was supplied as a self contained, free standing unit and was anchored directly to the floor. It has integral connections for single phase electrical and compressed air supply.
Bugpak bag turner units include the programmable logic control (PLC) and all necessary control items such as photo electric cell, timers and reed switches.
A control enclosure is mounted on the bag turner with an On/Off switch and adjustable timers for the Clamp and Return functions. The bag clamp assembly of the bag turner is mounted on a heavy-duty support pedestal and is height adjustable to suit different lengths via a simple hand-wheel arrangement.
