Designed to compliment our programmable cutoff length pouch dispensers, these machines provide a means of optimally filling a tote with a pouch bandoleer from your form, fill and seal machine. Low speed models are designed to work with vertical form, fill, seal machines, low speed horizontal machines and multi-lane liquid pouch filling machines. The high speed model is designed to work with high speed horizontal pouch machines such as those manufactured by Cloud or Jones. Semi-automatic units are available as well as fully automatic systems with automatic tote handling. Free tote sizing assistance is available upon request.

- This system can be configured with various formats to fit the requirements of the customer. The video illustrates a tote loader receiving a bandoleer of pouches from a high speed pouch form, fill, seal machine. The pouch machine runs at 900 pouches per minute. Totes are filled either to a count or to a level. When a tote reaches the full level, the bandoleer is automatically cut, the trailing end of the bandoleer is placed over the edge of the tote and the full tote is indexed out. A new tote is indexed into the loading position and the filling resumes. The pouch machine is not required to stop during tote change out and no operator involvement is required
