6 C27-E SIMPLY ECOLOGICL KNOT TECHNOLOGY The revolutionary idea of the C27-E filter bag, based on a traditional non heatsealable double chamber bag, guarantees optimum infusion efficiency enabling the natural tea aroma to flow out. No metal staple or additional packaging materials are required to fix the bag to the tag and the cotton thread. Fixing is achieved by two simple knots one to fix the cotton thread to the filter bag head and the other to fix the cotton thread to the tag. This innovative feature avoids the presence of metallic material during infusion, whilst guaranteeing, at the same time, a discerning and functional filter bag. Following IM s tradition of flexibility and versatility, the C27-E offers a wide range of filter bag sizes to suit all product specifications and market demand. Filter bag top folding TG TO SUIT LL TSTES The C27-E offers the possibility to run either square, rectangular or octagonal Hard Tags. Once more the C27-E triumphs by cutting the edges of the octagonal tag directly on the machine resulting in a sensible reduction in costs.

7 KNOT OPERTION: COTTON THRED FIXING TO THE TOP OF THE FILTER G ND TO THE TG. THE PROCESS The simple knots that allow the fixing of cotton thread to filter bag and tag are performed by a highly sophisticated group that has been designed and tested by the IM Research & Development Department. oth knots, on the filter bag and on the tag, are performed simultaneously on the same station and are achieved through synchronised movements of three mechanical elements controlled by cams. The successful knotting is controlled by a high precision video camera, based on an artificial vision work system and connected to a monitor which allows constant observation of the function. ny knot which does not correspond to the prearranged model is highlighted and memorised and consequently causes the rejection of the single bag without introducing it into the stacking station.

10 C27-E TO COMPLETE THE CYCLE LL IN ONE CRTONING TTCHMENT To complete the whole production cycle, the C27-E is equipped with a newly conceived flexible automatic cartoning attachment able to handle Pre-erected cartons from 1 to 4 rows Cartons from flat blanks from 1 to 4 rows. The cartoning attachment can be combined with the following additional groups: Cardboard divider unit Carton coding unit Leaflet inserting group. THE DVNTGE OF ELECTRONICS: FROM COUNT TO COUNT The IM C27-E achieves the greatest versatility in the design of its counting and stacking units. Stacking is controlled by independent motors which allow a swift electronic count change over avoiding completely the need of any part replacement and guaranteeing always the correct number of bags or envelopes in the stacking unit Carton glueing and forming 2. Flat blank magazine 3. Stack insertion into the carton 4. Carton closing station 5. Carton exit 3

11 The C27-E cartoning attachment permits the packaging of filter bags in different final carton styles according to such criteria as product integrity, personalisation, style and cost saving. s well as the standard tuck-in closure cartons, three further options are also available: Tear Strip Closure carton Kurzlaschen Closure carton Caddy Closure carton The Tear Strip Closure carton offers a tamper proof security as well as a re-closable solution. This carton style requires no overwrapping, therefore guaranteeing additional cost saving. The Kurzlaschen Closure carton offers a tamper proof security as well as a reclosable solution. This carton style reduces cardboard consumption and does not need overwrapping, therefore guaranteeing additional cost saving. The Caddy Closure carton represents the perfect solution for a more stylish and appealing final package. This carton is re-closable and remains intact after opening. It is completely ideal for personalization.

12 C27-E UTMOST EFFICIENCY DVNCED SINGLE G REJECTION Prior to entry into the stacking unit, the revolutionary use of a sophisticated camera which is connected to an HMI controls the correct knotting on both filter bag and tag and permits the rejection of single bags which do not correspond to the predefined quality standards. Thanks to the innovative independent motorisation system, the counting of filter bags is automatically stopped, a correct bag is retrieved to complete the required count and production flow proceeds smoothly without any interruption. This unique system guarantees the highest product quality and at the same time contributes to savings in packaging material and machine efficiency increase. SIngle bag rejection (naked bag) Faulty filter bags, detected by an integrated sophisticated camera connected to an HMI, are automatically rejected without being wrapped in the outer envelope. THIS DVNCED ND NEWLY DESIGNED REJECTION SYSTEM GURNTEES THE HIGHEST PRODUCT QULITY ND T THE SME TIME CONTRIUTES TO SVINGS IN PCKGING MTERIL ND MCHINE EFFICIENCY INCRESE.

The final carton weight can be controlled on the checkweigher and automatically adjusted thanks to the automatic weight control and adjustment system.

13 Single bag rejection with outer envelope Knot conformity control PROGRMMLE CONTROL The whole working cycle logic and quality control are achieved by a PC, software compliant with the IEC standards. The use of a PC, as an alternative to a PLC system, represents a great advantage towards the risk of obsolescence and consequent need for spare part replacement and software update.. ll main machine stations have been provided with a specific product control device to guarantee the maximum product quality. THE ELECTRONICS Integrated video camera to control the correct knotting on both filter bag and tag.

14 C27-E TOP PRODUCT QULITY VIRTING PRODUCT FEEDING SYSTEM The new C27-E is equipped with a vibrating product feeding system allowing the machine to easily run non free-flowing products drastically reducing product degradation and thereby preserving the best product quality. This system, which is particularly easy to shield with safety guards, also helps protect the feeding area from risk of cross contamination during product changeover DOSING OWL gain, the quality of the product is particularly protected in the feeding process due to the reduced size of the dosing bowl which contains only a small volume of product thereby reducing its fragmentation to a minimum. The choice of the correct materials also plays an important part in the way the most delicate products are handled inside the dosing bowl.
