The automated system illustrated above is an example of a complete line used in spice packaging. This line is equipped with a net weigh scale, a single-spout high-speed open-mouth bagger, a robotic palletizer, and a stretch wrapper. It can reach speeds of up to 10 BPM.
PTC can also provide you with a compact open-mouth bagger (gross or net weigher), a palletizer, and a stretch wrapper, the combination of which can reach speeds of up to 6 BPM. A palletizing systemeither robotic or conventionalcapable of bag overlapping can also be selected for use with high top freeboard bags. To achieve higher speeds (up to 20 BPM), the combination of a dual-spout open-mouth bagger with a conventional or robotic palletizer and a stretch hooder is your solution.

The exceptional performance of the new E55 net weigh scale from Premier Tech Systems has raised the industry standard to a higher level. This was made possible by combining the experience we acquired from our worldwide sales of thousands of E55 scales and our constant desire to develop innovative technologies. The new loadcell arrangement, the new optimized weighing bucket geometry and our improved state-of-the-art SpeedAC weigh controller now make it possible to reach impressive speeds of up to 45 BPM* in simplex configuration. The E55 can also provide extremely accurate weighing of less than ± 1/3 oz (10 g) @ 2 sigma* with free-flowing product.
This greater accuracy results in less give-away product and more profit! Like the previous version, the new E55 still features a simple, rugged design that ensures years of accurate and trouble-free operation. A complete range of feeders is offered to work with the new E55 in order to suit every type of product. They include gravity, gravity high-speed, gravity-vibratory, belt, belt high-speed, screw and vibratory feeders.
