Containers infeed on a table-top conveyor. Containers are side-indexed into an accumulation chamber. Small round containers are nested into the array utilizing a modulating back stop and slice-off counting system for each row then indexed into the array. Once the containers are accumulated into an array, the array is pushed into a wall of sheet type film. As the array is pushed the film wraps around the array and is sealed and separated on the back side of the array forming the wall of film for the next array. For unstable containers Dyco utilizes a series of stabilizers to maintain the array. The array is then pushed into a wall of film that wraps around the array and sealed on the trailing side of the array. The array, now wrapped in the film on 2 sides, travels down a bundle conveyor to a side sealing position. Once in position the side sealing process begins, which tightens the film around the bundle and seals the sides with a flat type seal leaving a small tail on both sides, which forms the bag around the containers with Dyco's unique flat film technology. After the side sealing cycle is complete the bundle travels down the bundle conveyor to a pick up position. From this position a precision stepper motor driven stacker picks up the bundle, rotates or indexes linearly, and gently places the bundle on a stack. Once a full stack of bundles is accumulated in one of the stack locations a beacon indicator alerts an operator to take away a full bundle stack, the operator then resets that stack location. Machine is readily adjustable for 8 oz. (2" diameter x 5" high minimum) through 32 oz. (4" diameter x 12" high maximum) containers, for half pack and full pack.
