The BPS "Bulk
Pack Station" from PDI performs multiple functions in one, compact
footprint. Product can be filled into shipping containers either by
weight or by count. The BPS "Bulk Pack Station" will
significantly reduce customer complaints due to under-filled shippers and
unnecessary and costly product give-away. The BPS system is perfect for
bulk packing individual products from candy bars to chicken nuggets or
products packaged in small packets such as: cheese, cookies, flavor
packs, condiments and coffee.

Case
Filling As the empty
case is being indexed on to the loading station, accumulator hoppers
store product. Once the empty case is in position, case filling begins.
Fill by weight utilizes bulk and dribble fill rates to quickly and
accurately fill the case. Fill by count utilizes a light curtain sensor
to ensure accurate product count is maintained and only requires minimum
product separation. Even product distribution in the case can also be
achieved.
Check Weighing Once filled, the system checks the accuracy of the fill by taking
one final weight measurement. If the measured weight is not within
tolerance, the case can be automatically rejected off the line. The
operator can track the rejected cases through the Operator Interface
Terminal.
Case Sequencing Once the final weight measurement has been taken, the
Patented "Lifting Weigh Platform" lowers, and the full case
exits the Loading Station. The Next Case Holdback lowers to allow the
next empty case in to position. Hoppers are used to accumulate product
until a case is in position for filling.
