Sharp® Max 20 Continuous Bagging System

Faster Printing

• At least 50% faster than printers used by other manufacturers,

increasing throughput dramatically

• Set moveable printing head to precise positions, based on

package size, to print bags in order, eliminating queuing and

reducing scrap and material cost

• Reduce thermal ribbon usage as much as 90% with reduced

spacing between impressions, printing with alternative

registrations, and adjusting impression placements to increase

ribbon usage

Cutting Edge Technology

• Touchscreen is a 12.1" TFT (thin film transistor) technology,

including a PC with Windows®

• Run Windows labeling software, create labels on the PC, save,

then add it to a particular job, so the label format is saved as part

of the job

• Includes a high speed counter, pulse train output and network

capabilities

Versatility in Loading

• Entire machine moves up or down, adjusting to a wide range

of heights

• 90˚ rotation capabilities for horizontal loading for heavy or

stuffable products

More Efficient Operation

• Heavy duty drive fingers don’t bend even with tugging at bags, so

no need to realign

• The proximity sensor is inside the jaw, protecting the magnet field

and improving operation in dirty environments

• The constantly heated sealing mechanism offers a longer life than

impulse mechanisms

• Controls for the printer are viewed directly on the bagger HMI, so

it’s not necessary to manage multiple monitors or displays for the

bagger and printing system

• Control, recall stored labels or even create labels directly on the

single HMI

Access Data Anywhere

• HMI, printer, and PLC can be networked, so they can be accessed

at any time from almost anywhere

• Use remote label printing, production reporting, and SCADA

(supervisory control and data acquisition) control

Easy Maintenance

• Off-the-shelf, nonproprietary parts

• Color touchscreen display provides troubleshooting guidance with

exploded view drawings, manufacturer and part numbers, and

html help files with hyperlinks to explain any term
