Change Package Formats Quickly and Easily with Model XYRJ VFFS Bagger
The challenge: how to better meet industry demand for versatile packaging equipment that can satisfy engineers, plant managers, marketing executives -- and ultimately -- end users. While Triangle’s X-Series vffs baggers already offered quick and easy changeover, cleaner designs, and smarter features such as Rockwell Automation controls, was there an even better way to serve the needs of food packaging customers, particularly those in the poultry, IQF vegetables, cereal, and snack markets? Well, yes. Explains Mike Wolf, P.E., Sr. Mechanical Engineer, Triangle, “We developed the Model XYRJ because we knew many of our customers, and potential customers, wanted a bagging machine that was versatile, easy to use, and able to run a variety of bag styles on the same machine.”
The X-Series vertical form form fill seal (vffs) bagger from Triangle Package Machinery Company was already well known for its ability to help food packagers run faster, cleaner, and smarter. With bagging speeds up to 150 bags per minute and quick, tool-less changeover of forming tubes, sealing jaws, and film rolls, changing packaging formats from a pillow bag to a quad-seal, stand-up bag, for instance, could easily be achieved in just a few minutes. The baggers also exceeded typical sanitation standards, with rugged, accessible machine designs that excel in the harshest environments and can even be designed to meet USDA/3A sanitation standards.
