Case packing
IB bag inserter
The IB bag inserter automates the insertion of made-to-measure bags into cases: it forms the bag from a plastic film reel, inserts it without creases and seals its corners so that product does not build up in them. With servo-driven and pneumatic movements and recipes stored on the screen, it adjusts its own configuration when the case format changes.

Frequently asked questions
Where do the bags it inserts come from?
The machine forms them from a plastic film reel, so each bag is made to fit the case that is going to be filled.
How does it avoid creases and product in the corners?
The bag is inserted into the case with servo-driven and pneumatic movements, without creases, and its corners are sealed so that product does not build up in them.
How is the case format changed?
By selecting the program on the touch screen. Recipes are stored and, when the program is changed, the machine makes the adjustment automatically.
What happens if a bag is not placed correctly?
Insertion is monitored at all times. If, in the unlikely event, a bag is not placed correctly, the machine detects it and triggers an alarm or a signal.
What does it need to run?
A 400 V (50 Hz) power supply, 6 kW of power and compressed air at 6 bar with a flow of 300 l/min. It takes up 1800 × 1570 × 1905 mm.
