SPrint Bagger - side pouch bagging system, high speed manual or automatic bagging SPrint SidePouch Bagging System
FAS SPrint SidePouch Bagger - food bag packaging equipment, packaging machine

The SPrint SidePouch packaging system is engineered to provide high productivity solutions for hand load through fully-automatic packaging applications. Operating at speeds up to 120 bags per minute in continuous mode, and offering special bag features, the SPrint bagger reduces operating costs while providing the widest range of industrial and retail bag packaging solutions.

The SPrint bagger presents a conveyor of pre-opened bags that are staged for immediate loading. A standard 60" load

area provides ample space for one or more operators or infeeds, while the ergonomic design is preferred for its close proximity of product to the bag. Operator safety is enhanced by the modular design of the loading and sealing areas, with automatic bag sealing and trimming occurring away from the bag loading area. The SPrint is also available in a 30" load area configuration that provides a cost-effective alternative for lower volume applications, or production environments that require a smaller footprint. Both systems offer continuous or intermittent bag indexing to accommodate high-speed packaging of individual products or kits.

The SPrint bagging system installs quickly and requires minimal operator training and maintenance. The system can be integrated with a SPrint AutoLabel™ PI 412c Imprinter for inline imprinting, or with a variety of support conveyors and infeeds for semi- to fully-automatic packaging. The standard sealing unit ensures attractive, high quality bag seals for most industrial and retail applications, while the optional medical sealer meets the stringent sealing requirements of the health care industry. Bag changeover is fast and easy to accommodate short production runs, with a single box holding up to 5,000 bags to facilitate longer runs.

The FAS SPrint Bagging System brings new levels of speed and versatility to food packaging applications that require daily washdown procedures. Operating at speeds up to 120 bags per minute in continuous mode, this state-of-the-art packaging system is designed for high productivity poly bag packaging of fresh and frozen food grade products.

The FAS SPrint presents a conveyor of pre-opened poly bags that are ready for immediate loading. The 60 inch load area provides ample space for one or more operators, and the ergonomic design is preferred for its close proximity of product to the bag. The entire load area tilts 90 degrees for access to all areas that require direct washdown. The rugged design 

incorporates corrosion-resistant, stainless steel construction and a NEMA 4 electronics enclosure for safe and reliable operation in wet areas.

The FAS SPrint bagger can be integrated with a variety of automatic infeed systems and washdown compatible inline imprinters for semi- to fully-automatic packaging of portion or bulk food packs.
