Carrera 500
Horizontal Flow Wrapper
A work horse entry level PLC rotary head
wrapper designed for 24/7 operation.
Equipped color touch screen with self-
diagnostics as well as the flexibility for
applications within the bakery, confectionary,
IQF and pharmaceutical industries. The Ilapak
Carrera solution was developed for quick and
easy product change over, reduced downtime,
and high production 24/7 heavy workload
environments.
“No Product No Bag”
No product No bag is a feature that allows an
operator to place the product on a continuous
running infeed conveyor without the need to
fill all the vacant lug pockets. If the operator
stops hand feeding product onto the infeed the
Carrera machine will not produce empty bags.
What happens is that the fin wheel and sealing
jaw motors stop until a photo eye detects
product arriving down the continuous running
infeed. When it does see additional product,
these motors start up again producing
packaged products. Ultimately this saves film
and does not stress the operator to fill each
lug pocket.
“Mis-Placed Product Detection”
Prior to the sealing jaws, a photo eye looks
between each package to make sure there is
adequate space to cut the film. If the eye
detects that it will “chop” down on the
product, the sealing jaw stops allowing the fin
wheel and infeed motor to continue running.
The potential chopped products now pass
through the jaws unharmed. Mis-Placed
Product Detection dramatically reduces
downtime, eliminates damage to both
products and sealing jaws, and allows the
operators to continue hand feeding the infeed.
