FEATURES AND BENEFITS
OF THE GEOPAK BAGGER:
- Intuitive,
easy to read Color Touch Screen control panel.
- Works
with all brands of bag-on-a-roll films made from LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE,
polypropylene and various other heat sealed plastic films.
- Interfaces
with a wide variety of in-feed options including vibratory bowl
counters, weighers, and conveyors or can substantially increase your
packaging productivity with hand-fed products.
- Fast
cycle rates are achieved by using a computer controlled, high-speed
stepper motor drive combined with a precision machined, constant heat
seal bar. The GeoPak can package products as fast or faster than any
of our competitor's equipment.
- Mounted on
a hydraulic lift table that rolls on easy glide casters to provide the
ultimate in mobility. A single operator can roll the bagger into position,
pump the handle to raise it to the correct height, and begin packaging-
it really is that easy!
- The GeoPak
has the smallest footprint of any freestanding bagger available.
At just 24" wide, it uses less of your valuable production space
and gives the bagger excellent manueverability in tight spots.
- The unique
open-top construction and a simple four roller unwind allows
for quick and easy loading of bags. A new roll of bags can be loaded
in less than 60 seconds for maximum productivity and uptime!
- A
unique bag reverse feature places the opened bag around the mouth
of the funnel, ensuring that the parts make it into the bag every time.
- A Seal
jaw kick back feature automatically withdraws the seal jaw if any
obstruction is detected and then notifies the operator of the error.
- Bagger Fault
and Help Screens constantly update the operator with the status
of the bagger and provides on-screen troubleshooting tips to help resolve
any problem quickly.
- Made
with off-the-shelf electronic, pneumatic, and hardware components
to give the end-user flexible maintenance options. If replacement parts
are needed, you don't have to worry about being forced to pay high prices
for proprietary components.
- The GeoPak
is designed to work with the
NEW GEO "F-Series"
Printer
to create a complete Print-N-Pack system.
- Idle
mode saves energy by shutting off power to the air, drive motor,
and seal bar heaters while the bagger is not in use.
- Additional
options and accessories are easily integrated with the standard
GeoPak bagger with no modifications or programming changes being required.
Options such as the Geo
"F-Series" printer, seal flatteners,
pneumatic load shelf, or bag deflators can all be installed in just
a few minutes.
All
of these features add up to a machine that can provide unparalleled performance
in bag-on-a-roll packaging. To truly appreciate what the GeoPak bagger

NOT
FAMILIAR WITH BAG-ON-A-ROLL PACKAGERS?
HERE'S A QUICK EXPLANATION OF HOW IT WORKS:
The GeoPak bagger
uses pre-made bags-on-a-roll that can be purchased through Geo or from
several other manufacturers and distributors. Each roll contains hundreds
of bags that are open on one end and sealed at the other. They are joined
together with perforations between each bag so that they can be individually
separated once filled.
Once the roll of bags
is loaded into the machine, the GeoPak will advance one bag at a time
and place it into position to be filled. The package is held open using
air so that it can be filled, which is either done by hand or by using
a funnel and automatic feeding equipment (such as weighers, counters,
conveyors, etc). After the bag has been filled, the GeoPak seals the bag
with a heater bar and separates the bag from the roll -all in one motion.
You now have an individual package with the product sealed inside.
The GeoPak has
three modes of operation to give you flexibility in packaging:
MANUAL MODE
is for hand feeding of product. The operator places the product in the
bag and then uses a foot pedal or presses a button on the control panel
to seal the package and index the next one.
AUTOMATIC MODE
is similar to Manual Mode except no input is needed from the operator
to initiate each cycle. Instead, the cycle is timed using variables that
can be modified by the operator. This mode is mostly useful when used
by a skilled operator or when using a metered in-feed device that is precisely
timed.
AUXILIARY MODE
is the most productive way to operate the bagger. The GeoPak is interfaced
with an in-feed device so they can communicate back and forth. The in-feed
device will trigger the bagger cycle and the bagger will signal the in-feed
device when it is ready for the next product fill cycle. The two machines
can operate like this continuously, without the need for an operator.
