Automated Packaging Systems, a US-based bag packaging systems recently launched its most advanced bag packaging system – the Autobag® 850S™ Mail Order Fulfillment Bagger. Developed with a focus on ergonomic design, the machine is 22 inches wide. Bag opening technology grabs and securely grips the bag in load-ready position, creating a pass-through up to 11 in. x 11 in., making it ideal for bulky or multi-item orders. This arrangement also enables the use of a smaller, more completely filled bag to reduce material costs. A wide open loading area with pressure sensors instantly pause the closing and sealing process if anything touches the bag loading mechanism. An AutoTouch™ control screen provides quick access to job setup parameters, on-board diagnostics, data retrieval, performance monitoring, and a help system with operator tutorials. Bag size changeovers are easily accomplished in less than five minutes with simplified threading and a new tension control system that automatically centers and monitors the film throughout the bagging process. A modular bag storage shelf built into the bagger conveniently supports genuine Autobag pre-opened bag-in-box materials. The company vouches that apparel factories are also one of the beneficiaries of this bag packaging technology.
