BALER MACHINE

The purpose of a “Baler Machine or Line” is to accumulate the packets from the Form Fill and Seal machines and pack or bale them into poly or paper baler bags which are then sealed and conveyed on a belt. These baler bags may then be “check weighed” on a Check Weigher before being conveyed to a palletiser or manual palletising station for dispatch. The baler bags may be placed on the machine manually or the entire line can be automated using a bag placer thus allowing a number of lines to be operated by a single operator. The machines allow for a substantial saving in labour and associated costs.

The new range of baling machines can be fitted with a variable-sized accumulator, which is adjustable for a range of product size e.g. 500g, 1kg, 2kg, 5kg-pillow pack.

Series 1000 Baling Machine

The most basic model in the range replaces the traditional baling table at the end of a form fill and seal (FFS) machine. It accumulates and packs the packets neatly into a baler bag (polyethylene or paper) which is then manually sealed. This operation is performed by a single operator as opposed to the traditional three to six operators at a baling table.

Series 2000 Baling Machine

This is the first of the semi automatic baling line. Its function is to:-

• accumulate the pillow packs produced on the Form Fill & Seal (FFS) machine
• pack them into sealed polyethylene (or paper) baler bags
• manually form the top of the baler bag and feed the baler bag into the sealer
• feed the sealed baler bag to the palletizer station for (manual) palletizing.

Series 3000 Baling Machine

This is the first of the automated range whose functions include automatically accumulating the pillow packs off the FFS machine, packing into baler bags, folding of the top of the baler bag, and sealing of the baler bag.

Series 4000 Baling Machine

This is a fully automatic machine with functions that include automatically accumulating the pillow packs off the FFS machine, the automatic feeding of the baler bag onto the accumulator duckbills, packing of the pillow packs into baler bags, folding of the top of the baler bag, and heat sealing of the baler bag. It incorporates the Automatic Paper Bag Placer/Positioner.

 

AUTOMATIC PAPER BAG PLACER / POSITIONER

This is a pneumatically operated and PLC controlled unit that automatically feeds the paper baler bag onto the duck bills of the accumulator on the baler line. This unit serves two prime purposes:-

• to eliminate the necessity for an operator, and
• to e
nsure that the baler bag is correctly positioned on the duck bills every time.

This unit also allows for one operator to man more than one baler line at a time. The operator ensures that all lines run smoothly, is available to stop a machine should any pillow packs burst or split during the packing operation and refills the baler bag feed unit at the necessary intervals.

 
CHECK WEIGHER

These weighing machines can be for either moving or static check weighment lines. The filled bag's weight is checked on either a moving or static conveyor belt using load cells connected to an electronic controller.

Any under or overweight bags are identified either by an alarm or by being forcibly removed by an electronically controlled pneumatically operated bag pusher that removes the bag from the conveyor belt. Each machine is manufactured to each client's specification or particular needs
 
RAPI ATMOSPHERIC PACKER

For powders and hygroscopic products.


The Rapi Packer is an efficient valve sack packer for a wide range of materials which will flow readily under fluidisation, e.g. milled loose minerals, starch, soup powders, cement etc. Production of 10 to 50kg sacks at a rate of up to 6 sacks per minute, using only one-man operation. Open mouth attachment available as an extra for open mouth bags.
 
The Rapi Packer simultaneous weighs and fills pasted valve multiwall sacks and plastic valve sacks.
The Rapi Packer can be quickly and easily installed under a storage bin.All components in the path of product are manufactured from stainless steel. The Rapi Packers simplicity of design assures a minimum of maintenance and maximum productivity. The Rapi Packer can be connected to the customers dust collection unit if required.
 
 
GRAVITY PACKER

For granular products


The Gravity packer is a simple inexpensive packer for abrasive and non-abrasive free-flowing material, such as pellets, samp, rice, granulated metals, grains, sugar, industrial sands etc.The Gravity Packer simultaneously weighs and fills valve bags by feeding material from the hopper by gravity with flow automatically cut off when bag being filled reaches the desired weight. All parts in the path of product are manufactured from stainless steel. This simplicity of design assures minimum amount of maintenance.The Gravity packer is pneumatically operated. The filling speed is relatively slow but one operator can handle two machines if so required.
 
ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SCREW PACKER

The Precision Metal Products Screw / Auger Packer is used for packing powders or hydroscopic products such as flour, maize meals, chemicals etc. This machine can be used on certain granular products where the granules are small and it is not very important if a small percentage of the granules are damaged. The machine is electronically controlled which allows for accurate weight measurement. This machine can pack bags from 6kg to 80kg, with valve sizes to suit 90 to 140mm valve bags. Note: A Screw Packer is not suitable or recommended for abrasive products.
 
ELECTRONIC NET WEIGHER

This is an electronically controlled net weighing machine that can weigh from 10kg up to 80kg bags. Being electronically controlled the system is accurate thereby reducing product giveaway and increasing profits. A single line can produce 6 - 8 bags per minute depending upon the size of bag being weighed. A dual weighing system with single outlet can be made thus increasing the production up to 16 bags per minute. One operator can mange placing 16 bags per minute.
 

ONE TON BAGGING UNIT
 
This is a gross or nett weighing bulk bag filling system, which reduces packaging costs. It has a quick and simple bag placement on the filler. High production rates of up to 15 bags per hour. This system can be automated increasing production rates up to 30 bags per hour depending on the product being packed. Accurate Electronically controlled weighing system reduces product giveaway. A simple rugged design makes it is simple to maintain and operate.
 
PINCH BOTTOM FIELD CLOSURE UNIT

This machine obviates the necessity for outdated closing methods of paper sacks such as sewing, stapling or bunch tying. In reactivates the pre-applied thermoplastic adhesive on the specially designed pinch bottom bag with hot air, then folds, compresses and simultaneously closes the top to provide a sift-proof closure. It closes pre-applied pinch bottom bags at rates up to 26 bags per minute and eliminate sewing machine problems, needle holes, thread tales and inventory of closing materials. Provides modern squared-off packages with uniform end closures that have excellent handling, stacking and palletising qualities as well as ample printing surfaces.
 
CONTINUOUS COMPONENT MANUFACTURE
 
LIGHT ALUMINIUM & NYLON HOSE REEL NOZZLES

These nozzles are intended for use in the fire industry. They are designed to fit onto the end of a 19mm hose reel that is mounted on a wall and connected to either the fire mains or municipal water supply. The nozzles produce either a jet or spray of water. They are available in either light aluminum or nylon and both are SABS approved.
   
CONDUCTIVITY PROBES

The small "button probes" are used in conjunction with an electronic system developed by Dynamic Systems to measure the level in a hoper or Donnelly chute. There is no commercially available measurement system for this and we are the only suppliers of this equipment in Southern Africa.

The larger probes are used in a variety of applications in the sugar industry to measure and control the consistency and levels of sucrose solutions and molasses.

 
FOAM FIRE FIGHTER

This unit is designed to operate off a fire hose reel or any 19mm hose via a fire hydrant with a reducing adapter. The unit is operated via a 20-liter drum of 6% AFFF foam compound that produces low expansion foam. It is recommended for high-risk areas where a large volume of foam can be generated in a short period of time to extinguish a fire.

In situations where there are fuel / highly flammable liquid spillage's and where welding is undertaken, this unit will offer protection against any accidental fires as a blanket of foam can be effectively generated to protect the area concerned. It is supplied as a fully portable mobile unit.
