Reliable Desktop Bagger has Labour-Saving Features

Automated Packaging Systems has introduced the PS 125 table-top bagger, to help companies handle mail-order dispatch and pack short runs and small items faster and more efficiently. Specifically designed for low- to mid-volume operations, the PS 125 is highly productive, flexible and simple but on a smaller footprint than other Autobag machines. The machine has been adopted for a wide range of applications, such as dispatching goods from offices or splitting bulk purchase fittings and craft items for retail.

For larger packing operations, the PS 125 enables users to pack efficiently within production cells rather than move goods to a separate department for bagging. The PS 125 desktop bagging system is capable of operating at speeds up to 25 bags per minute, weighs just 37kg and features a footprint of 550 x 480mm. The quiet, all-electric design doesn't require compressed air to run, making the unit suitable for non-industrial applications. Its lockable turntable enables ergonomic handling and changeover of Autobag bags-on-a-roll in tight spaces.

An optional built-in imprinter features next-bag-out printing technology and is suitable for short-run and order fulfilment. And the PS 125 connects to Local Area Networks like a standard printer, making it possible to integrate office systems and print directly onto bags from remote locations. The imprinter is capable of printing high-resolution graphics, text and bar codes directly onto the bag, eliminating the need for a separate labelling operation.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
