If you’re evaluating the purchase of a seed packing machine, you’re in the right place!
You may be wondering which packaging system best suits your needs.
In this article, through an analysis of a grain packing implant installed in California, we will delve into the different options available. Our U.S. branch in Turlock, California, allows us to handle in a particularly efficient and timely manner the demands coming from the North American market.
For more than 15 years, we have been making turnkey or integrative packaging solutions for pre-existing systems.
From transportation systems to palletizers.
From primary packaging to secondary packaging.
Made in Italy quality at the service of different customer needs.
In this article we will explore in depth:
The seed market is one of the sectors with the greatest growth prospects in the future. According to the America seeds report the size of the North American market is around $6 billion.
According to the forecast there will be an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% from 2023 to 2030. With a steady growth in demand for protein meals and genetically modified crops (GMOs).
The realized implant consists of a grain packing system formed by:
The project involved introducing and weighing the product using an electronic net-weight weigher for an output of 1,200 bags per hour. Therefore, we opted for an automatic packaging system perfect for high productions.
The ideal solution was found in the Universal 1200 open-mouth bagging machine. One of our top-of-the-line machines.
Its versatility is perfectly combined with the high speed guaranteed by the pendulum movement during filling and evacuation. Made of AISI 304/L stainless steel, this model is suitable for a wide range of products and bag types. Perfect for processing paper bags, laminated envelope or gusseted materials.
It can range from 0,17 oz for small formats, up to 110 lb for large ones.
On the other hand, for what concerns the secondary packaging phase of the project, we are provided with the MF PRC 1000 6C palletizing robot.
Through the conveyor belt, the bags reach the picking roller conveyor where the intervention of the gripper ensures the correct formation of the pallet.
This is a palletizer based on a top-loading robotic system on a 6-column support structure. It is characterized by its special features of robustness, versatility and production speed. The use of brushless motors make it fast and reliable. The result is an extremely compact and stable pallet.
The management software and touch screen ensure ease of use. This results in both significant time savings and easier work for less experienced operators. The maximum pallet height is 7,2 ft while the maximum workable package weight is 110 lb.
To complete the plant, as part of the end of the production line, we opted for an MF WRAP 60 automatic rotary arm pallet wrapper. With capacities of 50 to 60 pall/h, this ensures compact and stable stretch film wrapping, of each palletizing pallet.
Designed for heavy applications up to 4409 lb. During the wrapping operation, the pallet remains totally stationary while the mechanical arm rotates around it and wraps it.
MF TECNO packaging system installed at Barkley co., CALIFORNIA USA
We have been operating in the packaging industry for more than 15 years. We design, manufacture and install equipment in a wide range of fields.
Thanks to continuous investment in research and development, we have a wide range of machinery, from vertical packaging machines to open-mouth bagging machines. We ensure reliable solutions in line with the requirements presented. From small stand-up formats such as pouch, Doypack or square bottom to large formats.
From the Semi Automatic Bagging Machine (DR series) for medium/low productions to the MF POUCH 3000 automatic open mouth bagging machine ideal for high productions.
Our equipment fleet also includes a wide range of automatic palletizers and anthropomorphic robots. Our palletizers include:
Cartesian palletizers such as the MF PCA SMART, whose excellent value for money, compactness and small size make it an excellent option. Even for working in prohibitive environments and confined surfaces. Available in a PRO version (MF PCA SMART PRO) for higher productions.
The Telescopic Palletizer as the MF PCA 700 / 700 TWIN Palletizer for medium and high productions.
PSM 1500/S push palletizer. This is a layer palletizer that can process up to 1500 bags/hour with the creation of an extremely compact and stable pallet.
