Model 189 Slitter/Sealer Benefits
HIGH EFFICIENCIES
• Pitch adjustment with servo motors ensures precise timing and eliminates operator error
•  Positive product timing with innovative infeed design
•  Designed with fewer moving parts to reduce downtime
•  Continuous motion, inline case handling permits speed in excess of 100 cases per minute

 
Fewer moving parts make the entire width of the machine adjustable using one hand crank. Fewer moving parts make the width of the entire machine adjustable using one hand crank.
SIMPLE OPERATION
•  User-friendly touch screen control panel
•  Ergonomic operator screen swings to convenient position where needed
•  Convenient Job Training Aid (JTA) quick-reference booklet guides new operators
•  Operations and maintenance manuals available on CD-ROM
User-friendly touch screen control panel
QUICK AND POSITIVE CHANGEOVER
No-tools changeover in less than 15 minutes No-tools changeover can be completed in less than 15 minutes, by one operator.
•  One operator can complete changeover in under 15 minutes
•  No tools or change parts needed
•  Infeed pitch timing is changed with the push of a button
•  To eliminate guesswork, each changeover point is numbered, and corresponding settings are documented on chart provided with machine
LOW-MAINTENANCE DESIGN
•  Rust-proof stainless steel frame does not require painting
•  Guard doors are interlocked optically with a photo beam which, when broken, triggers a machine stop
•  Servos replace high-maintenance cams and chains
•  Continuous motion design reduces "impact" wear
EASY TIMING AND ADJUSTMENT

The entire machine process is controlled by three servo motors and two variable drives:

• Two servos time and transport cases through the infeed
• Pitch is easily adjusted during changeover — servos home to the new pitch with the press of a button
• Third servo motor controls the trailing flap tucker, allowing an optimal speed profile as cases advance
• Main variable drive controls case motion through the knife section and into the flap closing section
• Touch screen control panel is used to control speed of the case drive in the case sealing section
In-line machine design
In-line machine design eliminates the need to turn the case when slitting the tab-locks on incoming cases.
