POUCHMASTER™ ABS (AUTOMATIC BAR SEALER) SYSTEM
Model: POUCHMASTER ABS
The Pouchmaster Automatic Bar Seal (ABS) System™ is a sem-automatic Pouch Open
Fill and seal system. It is capable of handling up to 12” wide pouches or
multiples thereof (ie, 2 six inch wide pouches or 4 three inch wide pouches).
Pouches wider than six inches can only be handled as a one-up configuration.
The machine will automatically open a premade bag, then an operator will
manually fill the bag with the device or product, and then the machine will
automatically seal the machine. The system can be upgraded for auto filling by
adding the appropriate filling system.
The Pouchmaster ABS System can handle four of your pouches per machine index.
Index cycle time is 1.5 seconds plus fill and seal. The workcell can be operated
with technically unskilled operators and incorporates ”No Pouch - No Fill”
sensing technologies to communicate with
integrated product dispensing systems.
Below is the process by which the Pouchmaster ABS System operates, and will
process your pouches.
1. Four pouches will be picked from the pouch magazine feed system.
2. At Station I, two pouches will be opened for product insertion.
3. At Station II, an additional remote arm will open the other pouches, for
product insertion.
4. At Station, III, simultaneous to the operation at the other stations, the
filled pouches will be picked from the indexing head and inserted into the jaws
of the ABS System for sealing and optional emboss coding.
5. Upon completion of the seal cycle, the pouches will be released and
transported via chute to the
collection device of your choice.
6. This cycle is repeated automatically.
Quick pouch-size changeovers are accomplished by utilizing custom designed
vacuum plates and cups. The cups are easily changed with predetermined, color
coded barb locations on the vacuum plate to determine the various pouch sizes
being used; and the changeover time is minimal with this standard feature. This
plate design allows processing of a multitude of pouch/bag widths and lengths
without changing the entire plate. No change parts are currently with the
machine.
The magazine can hold a 24-inch stack of pouches/bags. The pouch, magazine feed
system side rails are adjustable to accommodate various pouch widths. The
compact design of the ABS System allows ergonomic manual product filling, as
well as integrated automatic product feeders. It incorporates ”No Pouch - No
Fill” sensing technologies to communicate with integrated product dispensing
systems, as well.
The Pouchmaster Automatic Bar Seal (ABS) System incorporates pick and place
technology and state of the art, constant heat, bar sealing methodology. The ABS
System picks the filled pouches from the indexing head and places them into its
jaws; providing Sigma 3 Seals. The system satisfies FDA Process Validation
guidelines. The sealer utilizes a PID, digital temperature controller. The dwell
is controlled by a digital timer with 0.01-second increments. The seal pressure
is controlled by an air cylinder regulator with analog outputs for the constant
monitoring of the Process with preset alarm values, to assist with your GMP. The
ABS is mechanically attached to the Pouchmaster and is controlled by a PLC, via
umbilical cord. Standard features include built-in Calibration Firmware,
Self-diagnostics and IQ, OQ validation protocols.
Should any of the critical menu driven parameters (temp, press, dwell) exceed
the preset limit checks, the Pouchmaster will STOP processing and an
Audio/Visual alarm will alert the operator.
The pouches will remain in place until the problem has been corrected. After
correction, the reset button is initiated and the cycle automatically continues.
These functions are part of our TOTAL QUALITY CONTROL software-hardware package.
This will assist in the validation of your process controls, to comply with your
GMP.
This machine can be inspected by potential buyers under power prior to purchase.
Please make arrangements through bid on equipment. we can assist you in all
phases of your transportation needs, including shipping, customs brokering and
palletizing or crating. Additional photo's are available. Feel free to ask
