The Ishida INSPIRA Box Motion bagmaker can operate in both continuous and intermittent motion modes
With increasing consumer demand to enhance and expand flavours and portion choice , production runs for many snacks can be shorter , making changeover time a bigger factor in maximising throughput .
Switching between continuous and intermittent motion can be carried out through pre-settings on the machine with no change parts or operator intervention required . Similarly intelligent , automated features for centring film , managing air fills and adjusting tensions ensures faster changeovers with minimal operator intervention reducing human error , film and product waste and increasing production consistency and profitability .
