CASE PACKER

INGREDIENT DISPENSERS

BAG CLOSING MACHINE

The Robotic Vertical Packer from
BluePrint Automation features a
small footprint and patented highspeed collation method, and it now
allows virtually hands-free changeover
between different product and case
sizes. No manual adjustments need
to be made, and the packer is ideal for
handling fragile products such as bags
of chips and other snacks and flexible
packages. The case packer is able to
pack small bags at up to 120-plus bags
per minute. The unit collates product
into a group using its Smart-Trak system. The product is then picked by its
specially designed end-effector for auto-changeover. The fully servo-driven
robot ensures smooth placement of
the product into an intermediary auto-adjustable cassette.
Cases are tipped towards
the cassette, and the entire
stack is side-loaded into
the secondary container
for vertical presentation.
To run a different product or case size, the
operator simply selects
the product code from the panel, and
the end-effector and cassette automatically change over to the next bag and/
or case size. Phone (804) 520-5400;

Ingredient Masters introduces
a new design concept in dry ingredient dispensers that was created
for companies who need dispensers to empty completely for sanitation, the use of high-value ingredients or batching operations
where tolerances are so close that
even minor variances are unacceptable. Its dispensers are manufactured from seamless, rotationally molded, cross-linked HDPE
polyethylene. The dispensers have
a liquid-smooth finish and unique
interior geometry that makes
them suitable for both powdered
and flaked material. Ingredients
are gravity-fed continuously and
evenly because no internal "shelf "
traps material. They are manufactured in 8-, 11- and 15-cu-ft
capacities. Phone (513) 231-7432;

Bakers can print price, freshness and product traceability codes on bag closures using
Kwik Lok's automatic 893 Ultra
bag closing machine mounted
with a 872 Turbo-Print printer.
The all-plastic Kwik Lok closure
is ideal for printing codes and
other packaging information.
The touch-screen panel allows
the operator to control speed,
load closures and switch from
closures to labels. With speeds of
110 bags per minute, the 893 Ultra is adaptable to most bagging
systems. Phone (800) 688-5945;

Sifter Parts & Service, Inc. increases its inventory
of magnetic and nylon mesh screens to help processors
ensure product safety. Many bakeries are switching to
magnetic stainless steel screens or nylon mesh screens
exclusively to eliminate the possibility of metal particles in their product. Sifter
Parts increased its inventory of the most popular sizes of replacement screens.
It manufactures screens
in a wide range of mesh
sizes using 430 stainless
steel, which is magnetic as
well as metal detectable.

Artisanal Fibermax trays from Sasa provide a crusty texture and perfect inside bake to traditional
French baguettes. The sturdy Fibermax
never needs oil or grease because
of its high-quality nonstick rubber silicone coatings. The nonstick Bi-Flon
coating saves the baker time
and money spent on cleaning and oil.
The Fibermax trays are built with replaceable mesh baking filet liners. These mesh liners
can be used for thousands of bakes before replacing. This
easy solution allows the baker to reuse the frame and avoid
the expense of frame replacement. Phone (609) 395-0219;
