New End-of-Line Packaging System for Bar Products

PMI KYOTO Packaging Systems has developed a high-speed, end-of-line bar packaging system. The system can handle a variety of bar products — from a flow-wrapper discharge all the way through cartoning and case packing. A single controller operates the entire system, thereby ensuring seamless operation and high performance. Smart control conveyors properly space products for collation. From there, a high-speed, smart turret feeder helps rotate the products 90 degrees for carton loading. Once bars are properly oriented, a high-speed delta robot then loads bars into a carton infeed conveyor. Cartoning is handled via PMI KYOTO’s all-servo, high-speed horizontal cartoner. The bar line is completed with a PMI KYOTO servo-driven case packer.

The new GT-Max system, which can be retrofitted to all Proseal GT0, GT1 and GT2 s and e models, has been seen to increase production speed by as much as 25%. The enhancement is incorporated within the machine’s existing footprint, retaining each tray sealing machine’s already compact dimensions, while allowing companies to further boost speeds and throughput without altering or extending the existing line layout. The Max system is compatible with all seal cycle types, including Skin Deep. Customers are able to utilize all their existing tool formats as well as a range of new Max formats developed for the system.
