Volm Companies recently announced what is described as “the most versatile wicket bagger ever,” the Volmpack Adjustable Dual Wicket Bagger.
According to a company release, “The Volmpack Adjustable Dual Wicket Bagger is a revolutionary new automatic wicket bagger that efficiently processes the full range of typical fresh produce bag sizes on a single bagger at amazing speeds. Traditionally, wicket baggers were available only with either a small, standard, or extra-large fill opening which was problematic for packers who wanted to run a wider range of both bag and product sizes on the same bagger. This bagger partners well with many of our post popular Volmpack weighers and can pack at speeds up to 60 bags per minute.”
In addition, the release said, “Users can easily adjust this bagger when switching between different size product and bags without the need for change parts. The V-Feeding belts prevent bridging of product for a clean fill, while the closure post is provided for use with automatic closures, staplers, and tape heads.
If your packing facility is looking to solve the problem that comes with packing a variety of produce types and bag sizes, then the Volmpack Adjustable Dual Wicket Bagger is the solution for you. This bagger is designed exclusively for wicketed style bags, which Volm offers in several different material types.”
Dan Husnick, Equipment Product Manager for Volm Companies, said, “We were asked by our customers to come up with a way to pack many different types and sizes of product into a full range of bag sizes on a single bagger. Previously, wicket baggers were only available with either small, standard, or extra-large fill openings which was an issue for packers who wanted to run a wide range of both bag and produce sizes. They spoke, so we listened and went to work. The new Volmpack Adjustable Wicket Bagger accomplishes this as it can pack from one to up to twenty pounds of produce at high speeds.”
He continued, “We also added V-feeding belts as an option for the new Adjustable Wicket Bagger to improve singulation of product which helps prevent bridging or plugging of product in the fill opening.”
And Marsha Pozza, Director of Marketing for Volm, noted, “Volm’s wicket bagger is already regarded as a workhorse in North American packing sheds. What better way to compliment this model than to transform it into something even more efficient for the packers?”
She said, “The adjustable fill opening technology makes it much more convenient than ever before to make changes on the fly. The fact that you don’t have to stock extra parts in order to make those adjustments from one size bag to another is an added bonus.”
