 Expanding
on its product solutions for dispensing powders, granulars, and
flakes, Nalbach Engineering Company announces the release of a new
family of rotary indexing auger fillers, the
i-Series.
The i-Series has been specifically designed to provide high fill
accuracy and a minimum of maintenance for moderate speed
applications up to 100 products per minute.
The i-Series features a gear base with servo drive motor, a direct
infeed indexing starwheel turret, Nalbach's servo driven auger
fillers with touch screen control, Nalbach's Advanced Seal Module
and Nalbach's product settling systems.
The use of a gear driven base virtually eliminates backlash and
significantly reduces maintenance associated with chain driven bases
and the direct infeed indexing starwheel turret provides an economic
and reliable container control system.
Nalbach's product settling systems are air or motor driven; bottom,
side or step product settling systems, tailored to meet the unique
needs of each customer's container/product combination.
The Advanced Seal Module provides faster fills, higher throughput,
cleaner operation, improved fill accuracy and improved product
settling. With Nalbach's patented “elliptic hyperboloid†design,
product flow is improved providing faster fills and higher
throughput while the “seal bellows†improves reliability of the
filler-container seal and reduces attenuation of the product
settling vibration system providing clean fills, improved fill
accuracy and product settling.
Nalbach's servo driven auger fillers with touch screen control
incorporate PLC controlled brushless, direct drive, servo motor
systems providing superior fill accuracy and reliability while
dramatically reducing mechanical failures and downtime by
eliminating most moving parts. The user-friendly graphical menus
allow operators to easily access the product memory for fast set-up
and accurate control of all filling operations.
All Nalbach auger filling systems feature self centering tooling
resulting in faster changeovers and cleaning times, stainless steel
product contact parts and aluminum structural parts for exceptional
durability, an empty hopper function for quick product changeovers,
“Smart Agitator†technology to extend agitator life, product memory
capable of storing filling parameters for up to 120 SKUs with one
button recall, and weight set-up software that quickly, easily and
automatically sets-up fill parameters.
The i-Series offers the option of Nalbach's Active Weight Control
system which interfaces with a checkweigher to make on-the-fly
adjustments to compensate for variations in product density to
insure accurate fills and minimize product “give-awayâ€.
This exciting new product is available worldwide through Nalbach's
direct sales and manufacturers reps and will be on display at the
Pack Expo 2004 show in Chicago November 7 – 11, 2004 (Booth S-1444).
