The Universal 8 (U8) was engineered to offer maximum flexibility. The unique modular design allows for multiple machine configurations, alterations and expansions based upon your individual needs and growth. Quick set-up maximizes production time.
As your sales increase, the revolutionary U8 is designed to allow for in-house reconfiguration to satisfy increased product demand and production requirements. This cost-effective system allows for different packaging formats from simple face seal packs to complex multi loading, folding and club store packs.
With the flexibility to add feeders for inserting components and vision systems for quality assurance, the U8 offers “the sky is the limit” approach to packaging.
The machine includes 4 open product load stations or up to 4 hook up stations, with a 305mm x 470mm seal area as standard. Other features of the U8 are “quick install” feeder stations for inserts or blister cards.
The U8 has an independent electro-mechanical drive system as well as a servo driven turntable. The machine has full PLC control and user friendly operator interface panel. Interlocked door panels on the U8 base allows for quick access to the drive system which in turn allows for quick reconfiguration of the machine in the field.
The package components are feed automatically, with operator or feeder loads for the product. The package components are sealed automatically and the finish package is ejected.
