The company says the ACP-722 RRP offers one of the smallest footprints currently available, being up to 50% smaller than equivalent casepacker models.
The single directional flow design produces a ‘lean and compact’ line layout which can also accommodate twin lines, with top speed of 20 cases per minute.
Key to the machine’s small size is the combination of case infeed and alignment, bag sorting and packing as well as case closing and sealing in one single compact unit, removing the need for additional conveyors.
This also means that all functions can be controlled from one HMI touch screen. Product changeover is initiated at the touch of a button.
The ACP-722 RRP can form part of a fully integrated snacks packing line, manufactured by Ishida, comprising multihead weigher, bagmaker, seal tester, checkweigher, X-ray inspection system and casepacker.
The ACP-700 series of case packers is capable of handling bags between 108 and 330mm in width and up to 375mm in length with many different bag types including pillow, side gusset, flat bottom and HEM.
Jim McGregor, Applications Engineer at Ishida Europe: “The snacks market remains highly competitive, and companies therefore need to maximise efficiencies in every part of their operations.
“The ACP-722 RRP has been designed to ensure fast throughput without compromising on pack quality and presentation, delivering maximum return from a minimum footprint.”
