New Douglas Invex® Case/Tray Packer Speeds up Production for Low Volume Packagers
Alexandria, Minnesota - November 15, 2007
The new Douglas Invex® Case/Tray Packer speeds up production for low volume packagers by incorporating all the flexibility of servo controls in an economical, 25 case/tray per minute, small footprint format.
Here's how incorporating servo controls benefits the end-user:
o Smooth, quiet operation, reduced maintenance time and cost, and fewer jams.
o Motors are more adaptable to run a wider range of products.
o Fast, repeatable changeovers because motors are readily programmed.
o Faster startups for greater throughput because machine functions start up simultaneously.
Features include software modularity so diagnostics are simplified because the operator or technician is able to pinpoint the root cause of problems from the human machine interface. Changeovers are recipe-driven, with minimal change parts and simple hand wheel adjustments. Control components are located at the perimeter of the machine for easy maintenance. OMAC Packaging Guidelines standards-based connectivity and an IEC conforming software structure makes the Invex® PackML- and PackTags-ready.
All Douglas Machine solutions are backed by our 3-year limited warranty.
