Plan IT is set to make waves at this year’s PACK EXPO International in Booth LU-8735 in Chicago, where the company will unveil its latest innovation—the RotoBagger in its washdown configuration. Designed to meet the rigorous sanitary requirements of industries like food processing, the RotoBagger is not only equipped to handle high production demands but also adheres to stringent hygiene standards with an IP66 rating. This durable machine can be customized with either 304 or 316 stainless steel, making it ideal for operations in environments with strict sanitation protocols.
The RotoBagger stands out as Plan IT’s flagship solution for pre-made pouch rotary packaging machine, excelling at opening, and sealing various formats including pillow, doy, quad, and three-side seal pouches with or without zipper. This machine pre-made pouch machine industries ranging from frozen goods to fresh meats, baked items, and confectionery—particularly for companies managing strict allergen control requirements.
One of the key features that makes the RotoBagger a standout in the industry is its servo changeover system. This system allows operators to change the bag width effortlessly with a simple touch on the machine’s control screen, cutting changeover times from 30–40 minutes to just 2–5 minutes. For companies dealing with multiple bag sizes, this is a significant advancement, as traditional linear baggers with mechanical knobs and switches are far more time-consuming. The servo-driven bag magazine further enhances efficiency, as it automatically adjusts the guides when changing bag sizes, reducing manual intervention and increasing production speed.
Moreover, the RotoBagger’s packaging capabilities are designed to keep up with demanding production environments. It can easily achieve packaging speeds of up to 50 packages per minute on simplex models and an impressive 80 packages per minute on duplex models, making it one of the fastest and most efficient pre-made pouch machines on the market. These speeds ensure that manufacturers can meet high output targets while maintaining accuracy and quality.
To further solidify its place as a top-of-the-line solution, the RotoBagger will be showcased at PACK EXPO alongside other cutting-edge equipment from Plan IT, including the ELITEWEIGH multihead weigher, the RoboPacker case packing system, and the PACKMASTER collaborative palletizer. Together, these systems form an integrated packaging line designed to optimize performance, reduce labor costs, and increase overall efficiency in production
Pack Expo attendees are encouraged to visit Plan IT’s booth to see the RotoBagger in action and learn more about how this innovative equipment can revolutionize their packaging operations. Whether in frozen foods, fresh meats, or allergen-sensitive industries, the RotoBagger promises unmatched flexibility, speed, and hygiene, setting a new standard in pre-made pouch technology. RotoBagger, ELITEWEIGH, and RoboPacker will be powered by OMRON to offer the speed, flexibility, accuracy setting a new benchmark in the packaging world.
