RMGroup is expanding its automated bagging portfolio with the launch of a new compact bag placer which is designed to deliver efficiencies.
The compact BP-600 system joins the heavy-duty BP-800 bag placer and the RBP-700 automated robot bag placer in RMGroup’s expanding portfolio of automated bagging solutions.
Delivering an efficient and cost-effective method of automatically placing sacks/bags onto the bagging unit, the BP-600 replaces existing manual operations, thereby maximising bag filling production efficiencies. The system is aimed at the animal feed, aggregates and chemical/fertiliser industries.
Previous bag presentation issues are eradicated with consistent flow of bags to the filling head. The system provides speeds of up to 10 bags per minute and its small footprint means that the unit can be integrated in restricted packing spaces, making it ideal for a mobile packaging line, such as RMGroup’s CTB-600.
Designed to accept sacks up to 950 mm in length, the bag placer comprises a suction cup vacuum system to pick up bags before being transported on a chain belt, then opened to allow paddle arms to present to the filling head.
“It’s a starter system for those looking to automate their manual bag placing process,” says RMGroup’s sales director Ed Pugh. “We saw a gap in the industry to offer a bag placer to rival others in the marketplace that could provide improved bag presentation and bag pick-up efficiency.
“The result is the BP-600, a cost-effective, standalone unit, which can be integrated with an existing bag filling system or combined as part of a full system.”
