RMGroup unveils the next-generation automated mobile bagging system
posted Wednesday 22 November 2023
Packaging and robotic automation specialists, RMGroup, has announced the launch of the CTM800, a state-of-the-art mobile bagging system tailored for adaptability, speed and efficiency. The system seamlessly integrates within three standard 40ft shipping containers, providing a complete plug-and-play solution for forward-thinking enterprises.
The CTM800 comprises an ingenious two-floor structure creating optimal space utilization. On the second floor, the infeed dosing/weighing system is situated directly above the primary automated machinery, ensuring maximized productivity. On the ground floor, the advanced form fill and seal machine guarantees precise automation in the packaging process. This is further enhanced by a cutting-edge robotic palletizer, maintaining fluidity from start to finish. Additionally, a wrapping cell located on the ground floor completes the packaging process, making the CTM800 a comprehensive turnkey solution for businesses. The system is also known for its high-speed performance, achieving speeds of up to 18 bags per minute, depending on the product being bagged.
Commenting on the launch, Edward Rees, RMGroup’s managing director, said: ”2007 was the year that RMGroup made the first portable bagging and robotic palletizing system – the first company in the world to pioneer this concept. As with many of the products within the mobile bagging range of machinery, they have evolved based on customer demand to bag product at source. Building on the containerized product range makes sense for our overseas customers.”
He added: “Today’s model includes a wrapping container which also applies a top sheet to protect palletized product. We’ve gone one step further in fixtures and fittings to provide a fully functioning ‘factory in a box’ environment to enhance the ease of maintenance, keep personnel safe, and create an ambient operating temperature to increase the life expectancy of equipment. Those looking for a system of this kind needn’t worry about planning permission. It can be picked up and relocated within hours.”
