Looking for a cost-effective way to automate your hand-packing operation? Then look no further than Rennco and its new EZ20 Vertical Bagger, which will be demonstrating its capabilities in booth S-3660 at PACK EXPO 2024, Nov. 3-6, at McCormick Place in Chicago.
EZ20 Vertical Bagger
Founded in 1969, Rennco has earned a reputation for high-performance bagging solutions that are rugged and durable for 24/7 operation. The new EZ20 brings those high-performance qualities of the Rennco brand to an entry-level model that is competitively priced compared to other similar machines.
The all-electric EZ20 is a compact machine with a small footprint. The machine uses centerfolded film to create custom bags tailored to customers’ specific products and needs.
The EZ20 represents more than two years of research and development by the Rennco team. Surveyed customers indicated a need for an entry-level machine that incorporates the strengths of Rennco with a cost-effective and easy-to-use bagging solution.
Features and benefits of the new EZ20 Vertical Bagger include:
- Easy to load and operate
- Centerfolded film, no pre-made bag contracts
- Compatible with polyethylene and polyolefin (shrink) films
- User-friendly Allen Bradley HMI
- All-electric (no air required) – plugs into standard 110V wall outlets
- Speeds up to 25 packages per minute
- Pairable with optional discharge conveyor
- Interlocked perimeter guarding
- Flexibility to accommodate printers or labelers
- Ideal for a wide variety of consumer-packaged goods products and e-commerce applications
Performance specifications of the EZ20 Vertical Bagger include:
- 14” standard vertical seal
- 20” standard horizontal seal
- 2” x 2” minimum to 14” x 20” maximum bag sizing
- 5 lb. maximum filled bag weight
- 4 1/2” – 9” standard jaw opening
ProCommerce Vertical Bagging Series
In addition to the EZ20, PACK EXPO attendees will see other Rennco bagging solutions in action. This includes the ProCommerce Vertical Bagging Series, which produces custom bags lined with bubble mailing material for e-commerce applications.
The ProCommerce bagging solution utilizes flat stock material lined with bubble wrap to create custom right-sized packages in the vertical dimension. ProCommerce eliminates the use of costly pre-made bags that are often oversized for the product, which leads to increased materials and shipping costs.
The ProCommerce bagging solution provides added flexibility to users as it can run bubble mailing material or opaque mailing film, covering virtually all aspects of e-commerce packaging and shipping needs.
Lift Seal™ Heat Sealer
The Lift Seal™ Heat Sealer provides an efficient alternative to impulse, band, and rotary sealers for bagging surgical instruments and supplies.
The Lift Seal™ Heat Sealer is easy to maintain and simple to operate. Constant temperature is maintained by a digital temperature control during the sealing process. The lower silicone rubber bar is raised by a rugged mechanical drive to meet the stationary half-inch wide heating sealing bar above. This bar is covered with a special “non-stick” fabric, which is advanced by simply turning a knob as the fabric becomes worn. The fabric roll is ample for months of use and is quickly replaced by snapping the new roll into position.
Rennco / Edson Packaging Collaboration
Finally, show attendees will see a new packaging solution that merges the best technical expertise Rennco and Edson have to offer.
This new packaging solution stars a Micro VCCL (Vertical Cup Counter Loader) from Rennco, feeding packaged stacks of cups to an Edson M1000 to efficiently collate and package paper cups into individual stacks and then load those stacks into cases.
The Micro VCCL is engineered to package high volumes of paper cups in a compact unit that reduces floor space by 30 percent over a standard Rennco VCCL unit -all without sacrificing speed or reliability. The Micro VCCL is integrated with the M1000, an all-in-one case erecting and packing system from Edson. The M1000 takes knocked down flats (KDFs) and erects them into cases. The machine then side loads packaged stacks of cups into the newly formed cases, which are sealed and made ready for shipment.
