The model 3721 Auto Bagger is typically used to bag small unstable containers, such as 16 oz. rounds. Containers are conveyed on a table-top conveyor into the machine, rows are isolated and side pushed with a precision servo driven pusher. When the containers are side pushed they are stabilized on the opposite side of the pusher with a stabilizer bar that moves with the containers as they form the rectangular array. 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 a rectangular array, the array is pushed into a wall of filmthat wraps around the array and the trailing side of the array is sealed. The containers are then conveyed into a side sealing area where both sides of the film are tensioned and sealed, forming the bag around the containers with Dyco's unique flat film technology. Once the bundle is formed it is then conveyed to a pick-up location. From this position a precision servo 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.
