Bosch Packaging Technology announces the launch of the Pack Feeder 4 portfolio of infeed systems, offering a cost effective solution that ensures efficient performance. The new feeders are ideal for packaging bakery and confectionery items such as biscuits, chocolate and bar-type products, as well as products in plastic, cardboard trays, and some non-food products such as pharmaceutical goods.
The Pack Feeder 4 infeed systems are available with conveyor belts in various layouts and lengths in order to meet individual production needs. To help product manufacturers adapt to ever-evolving consumer and retailer demands, top and side guides on the new feeders can be rapidly adjusted without tools, ensuring quick product changeovers and minimal downtime. For maximum equipment utilization and flexibility, the Pack Feeder 4 units can perform numerous functions, including turning, grouping, buffering, stacking, and cardboard feeding.
The new infeed systems offered by Bosch feature a gear-free belt drive that reduces maintenance efforts and hingeable side guides for easy removal of product jams. The easiness of disassembling parts like belts, nose rollers or deck plates without tools allows for quick and simple cleaning. This benefit is especially useful for lines handling allergy-prone products that must meet stringent hygiene standards requiring rigorous cleaning of all food contactable parts. These aspects help to reduce downtime while improving the overall efficiency of the production line and reducing the total cost of ownership.
The Pack Feeder 4 portfolio, which includes both in-line and crossed belt infeed systems, can support high production volumes with belt speeds of up to 120 meters per minute. With their reliability and robustness, the feeders can be operated on a 24/7 basis even at high output levels. The modular design of the Pack Feeder 4 infeed systems translates into competitive delivery time. With standardized interfaces, Pack Feeder 4 units can be rapidly and easily integrated with machines in Bosch's wrapper portfolio such as the Pack 401 and Pack 201. This ease of implementation allows for low start-up costs and short lead-times. For low maintenance and operating costs, the new infeed systems feature a minimum number of parts, while all parts are made of stainless steel or anodized aluminium for long-term usage.
“The new Pack Feeder 4 portfolio allows enormous production efficiency and flexibility, helping companies respond to the industry trend toward shorter product lifecycles and increasing variety in packaging styles and formats,” said Marcel Volk, Product Manager, Bosch Packaging Technology. “With the strong economic pressure in today's manufacturing industry, companies need cost-effective systems that ensure consistent production with low downtime.”
