Simpler Design

Easy-to-Use HDMI

Continuous Bagging

Cutting Edge Technology
- Advanced diagnostics monitor individual machine components, notifying technicians of any potential problems and allowing replacement parts to be ordered before a failure occurs
- Networkable HMI responds like a smartphone: faster and more intuitive, with easy to understand icons
- Passthrough size now adjustable via the HMI, with no tools required
More Versatile Operation
- Simplified bag threading system allows even novice operators to load new bags easily
- Sharp MAX-PRO 18 accommodates 18" wide bags with an 8" passthrough depth
- Save job settings in HMI for easy access
- Store label designs and even create labels directly on the HMI
- Compatible with both rolls and boxes of bags
More Efficient
- Aluminum jaw is lightweight and faster, decreasing cycle times
- Heavy duty drive fingers never need realignment
- Obstruction sensing jaw
- Constantly heated sealing mechanism offers a longer life than impulse mechanisms
Faster Printing
- Incorporating Zebra thermal printers permits direct printing onto the package for barcodes, graphics, and alphanumeric fonts
- Movable printing head sets to precise positions, eliminating queuing and reducing material cost and scrap
- Decrease thermal ribbon usage as much as 90% with reduced spacing between impressions, printing with alternative registrations, and adjusting impression placements to maximize ribbon usage
Access Data Anywhere
- HMI, printer, and PLC can be networked, so they can be accessed at any time from almost anywhere
- Use remote label printing, production reporting, and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) control
Easy Maintenance
- New design utilizes fewer components, decreasing downtime and increasing ease of maintenance
- Improved error reporting pinpoints problems for hassle free troubleshooting
- Off-the-shelf, nonproprietary parts can be purchased at most MRO stores
- Service hatches are positioned in the front to allow easier access
- The service manual is integrated into the HMI for convenient reference
- The color touchscreen display provides troubleshooting guidance with exploded view drawings, manufacturer and part numbers, and html help files with hyperlinks to explain any term
