AFCW 80-I ERGON - Combined packers up to 80 introductions/minute
The AFCW 80-I ERGON range is composed of combined packers with single lane 90º product infeed, suitable for making packs in wrap-around case, tray and tray + film.
These machines can pack a wide range of cylindrical, oval or square/rectangular containers at a speed of max. 80 introductions/minute, according to the machine model and the type of product to be handled.
The models of this range stand out for their compact structure that easily adapts to any end-of-line logistic conditions and for fast and easy changeover, thanks to the single-lane infeed.

1A system with a single-lane infeed facilitates the correct laning of the loose containers on the conveyor. The product feeding system features a continuous motion and the pack formation is performed by an electronic separation device. Then, loose products are moved from the infeed conveyor to the packaging conveyor thanks to a rotary system.
2On the AFCW 150 machines, the Easy-Load system automatically loads cardboard blanks into the dedicated blank magazine of the machine. The new loading device is made up of a group of motorized conveyor belts on which the operator easily places the cardboard blanks in uniform horizontal stacks.
3A corrugated cardboard blank is picked from the blank magazine by a rotary picker equipped with two groups of suction cups. The cardboard blank is carried up along the blank ramp and positioned under the incoming pack collation with short side leading. The tray/case former features a continuous wrap-around system.
4In the case/tray former, special guides fold and wrap the cardboard blank around the incoming products. The flap-folding devices first fold side flaps, then upper/lower flaps of both the front and back of the pack. The hot-glue sealing makes the case highly resistant. At the machine outfeed, fixed guides keep the case walls pressed downward.
5In case of packaging in film, the film is cut by a knife blade controlled by direct-drive brushless motor, wrapped around the group of containers and overlapped on the bottom of the pack, that in the end enters the shrink tunnel. The film tensioning is controlled in the AFCW 80-I by a system equipped with tensioning spring and in the AFCW 150-I by a piston. When the operating film reel is over, a manual sealing bar joins the films.
