Sharp Max Pro 24 Bagging Machine

One fully automatic Max Pro 24 with a single operator can do the equivalent work of four manual packers. This equates to huge gains in throughputs, capacity and speed. Thanks to the intelligent HMI’s job recall, all parameters and settings can be saved so there’s no downtime when switching between jobs. Fast and easy plastic and paper bag changeovers are made possible by the drop shelf, and the lightweight aluminium jaw means reduced cycle times to keep up the pace.
Time is not the only resource to be gained. As well as labour costs, the Max Pro 24 delivers material savings as it negates the need for secondary labels. The thermal transfer printing is done directly onto the paper or plastic bag rather than a label, equating to a sizable annual savings for busy distribution centres. Additionally, the reductions in packaging weights that come from bagging versus boxes or cartons can significantly slash freight costs. The Max Pro 24 can reduce thermal ribbon usage by as much as 90% compared to competitor models by adjusting impression placements to maximise available ribbon space, and its constantly heated sealing bar lasts for millions of cycles to reduce consumables spend versus impulse mechanisms. Its moveable printing head can be set to precise positions based on package size to print bags in order and prevent scrap waste.

The Max Pro 24 was designed to be simple to use, straightforward, and reliable in order to cope with the demands of dynamic, busy environments. Adapting to any warehouse, any workstation, and any worker, its ergonomic, free-standing construction is height-adjustable and fully portable. This means it can simply be wheeled into position and connected to power, ready to begin bagging. The dashboard screen can be easily moved using a universal boom arm from a left to right position to suit the individual user, and the latches for plastic or paper bag threading can also be swapped to either hand for personal comfort. Front and side loading is possible to accommodate any packing arrangement and/or product, and can prevent bags tearing when filled with heavier items. This total flexibility of configuration is critical for businesses with temporary, seasonal or shift pattern workforces and those bagging a huge variety of products as it delivers an easy set-up between runs and operators.

Furthermore, visual operation guides displayed on the machine’s casing and the user-friendly HMI memory make this model perfect for staff who need to become acquainted with it quickly. Its ability to make intuitive self-adjustments on the fly translates to a hassle-free operation. The Max Pro 24’s compatibility with a range of conveyors, bowl feeders, and printers makes it truly ideal for both established fulfilment operations as well as new packing lines to simply ‘plug and play’.
