Mettler Toledo launches the 880 Auto Wrapper for automatic weighing, wrapping and labeling of meat and fish products in backroom environments.
With an operational footprint of less than 20 square feet, operators simply place the trays on the infeed tray and the machine’s insertion mechanism and centering belt correctly position any skewed or angled trays in a fraction of a second.
The wrapper seals the trays, both in terms of appearance and with high mechanical precision to prevent any product spillages or leaks at a later stage.
The device reduces film consumption and hence the total cost of ownership since, unlike in the case of manual wrapping, multiple wraps are not necessary. Furthermore, the alignment and position of the label can be adjusted – monitored by sensors – accurately with a simple tap on the touchscreen.
It can optionally support labeling on the bottom of the tray.
To changeover products or films, the step-by-step instructions on the device’s large touchscreen display guide operators through the process to ensure the operator is using the machine safely and correctly.
Advanced operators can enter the price look up or PLU via the tactile numeric keypad keypad without searching or looking at the touchscreen.
The film chamber is accessible from the front of the machine, enabling roll changes in seconds. Any offal incurred during wrapping is collected in the base of the 880 Auto Wrapper and can be removed quickly and easily by opening the flap in the housing.
The hard-wearing and durable infeed tray can easily be removed for quick and thorough cleaning.
In order to protect operators from an accident or injury, any moving parts that could cause injury are guarded from being touched inadvertently with covers and safety stops.
The machine’s energy saving mode automatically shuts down the heating element when it is not in use.
