Special features
Proven standard features
- Feeding and sorting station with separation of small and oversized products and sugar dust
- Gentle product separation by large diameter feed plate
- Optimized feed plate fill level controlled by an electronic scale
- Automatic wrapping speed control
- Infinitely variable adjustment of the twist gripper oscillation depending on the wrapping material quality
- Adjustment of the twisting angle in three steps (1,1; 1,6; 2,1 rotations)
- Mechanical (cone type) reel holders
- Reel end detection and automatic splicing
- Separation of spliced/double wrapped products and non properly registered products
Improvements and added value
- Replacement of the mechanical scanning wheel by a laser scanner
- Upgraded wrapping material feeding unit with two independent servo drives for wrapping material draw off and cutting
- Optimized “no product – no wrapping material” functionality
- Infinitely variable adjustment of the wrapping material cut off length for increased wrapping capacity and reduced wrapping material consumption
- Complete replacement of the electrical cabinet and all field devices
- ELAU C 200 motion control system with integrated PLC functionality
- Upgraded air support to allow the use of modern PP foils
- Reproducible setting of the air support via valve bank
- Improved operation and Diagnostics via SIEMATIC touch screen
- Improved access for cleaning and maintenance thanks to a new safety concept
Combinations
- Beside manual feeding, the machine can be directly synchronized to the production line by means of a Theegarten-Pactec feeding system.
Optional extras
- Photo-electric print registration
- Detection system for manufacturer splices
- Different executions of the twist grippers for different wrapping materials
- Special execution for moulded toffees
- Remote diagnostics
