The Robobag features a swing-out former mechanism for easy unloading and rapid tool-less changeover that can be completed within one minute, the company claims.

Integrated in the mechanism is an optional auto-connect system for air blasts and nitrogen flushing, which removes the problem manual handling pipes and hoses.

The Robobag includes a single action film threading a simple dancer mechanism for film tensioning and feeding, and a splice assist unit, which reduces film changeovers, claims the manufacturer.

All components can be controlled using the Intelli-sys touch-screen interface, which can be operated with minimal training, claims the manufacturer.

Once a bag is formed, the robag collections information from all pieces of equipment that can potentially be fed to a computer to provide performance reports to any PC, in real time.
