STREETSBORO, OH - October 5, 2009 - Automated Packaging Systems, the world leader in high-reliability bag packaging systems, has introduced the SidePouch® FAS SPrint Revolution(TM) Bagging System.

The system operates in continuous, intermittent or batch modes, and cycles on pre-set parameters or by using a foot switch. This system is fast; packaging at speeds up to 150 bags per minute.
The FAS SPrint Revolution has been specifically designed for use in food packaging applications where it is in contact with moisture, oils, chemicals and foods in areas that require daily washdown procedures. Its stainless steel construction and 90 degree tilting load area make the FAS SPrint Revolution easy to clean. This rugged system rests on casters for mobility on the production floor and incorporates corrosion-resistant materials and NEMA 4X electronics protection to ensure safe and reliable operation.
This new bag packaging system is ergonomically designed so an operator can stand in front of a horizontal row of pre-opened bags that are moving along a variable speed conveyor. A new, larger pass-through area of six inches allows a wide range of bulk and portion pack food items to be easily loaded, including frozen meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and snack foods. A washdown-compatible imprinter is available for inline printing of barcodes and date codes.
The FAS SPrint Revolution includes an automated wide-band sealing operation that provides complete control over time, temperature and pressure for high-integrity seals that are airtight. The sealing operation is fully automatic and continuous at the end of the loading area. Once sealed, bags can be dispensed into a container or transported via conveyor to a separate loading area for bulk packaging. The sealer has been specifically designed for fast and easy maintenance.
This high-productivity bag packaging system is engineered with an integrated Allen-Bradley® control package for the highest reliability in motion control drives, motors, PLC, and HMI.
