2 1 Description and key features 1.1 Description The Sealed Air Cryovac BLR1MK2 is a high speed automatic robotic bag loader for inserting a wide range of fresh meat industrial units into Cryovac taped bags. The machine comprises an infeed conveyor, a product sizing conveyor, a packing conveyor managing the transport and the positioning of the products onto a loading fork which is adjustable in width, an outfeed conveyor, a robotic arm equipped with a bag handling tool, six bag presenters, a control unit and an electrical cabinet. The robotic arm selects and picks a bag from one of the six bag presenters according to the product size, then puts the bag around the product positioned on the loading fork. The robotic arm releases the bag and the bagged product is transferred to the outfeed conveyor. The BLR1MK2 is the second generation of the BLR1 and incorporates the latest Sealed Air PakFormance technology. The machine can be used in stand-alone mode or be connected to a PakFormance network, offering the whole range of PakFormance functions such as: Visualization and historical reporting relative to machine, materials and production performances Management of production recipes and machine adjustments Product traceability Construction is simple and robust. All critical parts are treated against the corrosive environment often found in food production and packaging rooms. Designed with ergonomics safety and hygiene in mind it is easy to use and clean, simple to maintain and meets all relevant European legislation for safety and hygiene. 1.2 Key features PakFormance compliant Improved quality of loading and reduction of operating costs through: A reduction of the manning requirement (1 operator for feeding and supervising) thanks to a fully automatic loading process A more accurate and optimized selection of bag size, based on product dimension detection Versatile tools for bag opening reliability A consistent bag positioning, preventing seal area contamination Improved hygiene thanks to less manipulation of the product Machine achieves 15 to 20 products/min, depending on product type and size User-friendly operator interface, full colour touchscreen control panel Controlled by an Allen Bradley Compact Logix PLC 6 bag presenters allowing the use of 6 different bag sizes (in width and length) Automatic bag picking, transfer, and loading by the robotic arm Loads a wide range of products up to 15 kg Product flow right to left (RL) or left to right (LR) and front side unloading (FUL) or back side unloading (BUL) All belts can be removed for cleaning without the use of tools Hygienic design makes cleaning easy and effective Very good access for maintenance Robust, high quality build standard using food approved materials throughout 2
