Automated mobile bagging system launched

We have just launched the CTM800, a mobile bagging system integrated within three standard 40ft shipping containers.

The CTM800 comprises a two-floor structure. On the second floor, the infeed dosing/weighing system is situated directly above the primary automated machinery, to enhance productivity. On the ground floor, the advanced form fill and seal machine guarantees automation in the packaging process. This is further enhanced by a cutting-edge robotic palletiser, maintaining fluidity from start to finish. Additionally, a wrapping cell located on the ground floor completes the packaging process,. The system achieves speeds of up to 18 bags per minute, depending on the product being bagged.

Commenting on the launch, Edward Rees, RMGroup’s managing director, said: ”2007 was the year that RMGroup made the first portable bagging and robotic palletising system – the first company in the world to pioneer this concept. As with many of the products within the mobile bagging range of machinery, they have evolved based on customer demand to bag product at source.

“Building on the containerised product range makes sense for our overseas customers. Today’s model includes a wrapping container which also applies a top sheet to protect palletised product. We’ve gone one step further in fixtures and fittings to provide a fully functioning ‘factory in a box’ environment to enhance the ease of maintenance, keep personnel safe, and create an ambient operating temperature to increase the life expectancy of equipment. Those looking for a system of this kind needn’t worry about planning permission. It can be picked up and relocated within hours.”
