Argo

After more than thirty years of designing, developing and improving heat sealers that have met the needs of various manufacturing companies (from gastronomy to small-scale manufacturers, large retailers, industry, catering), Italianpack demonstrates its professional maturity with the new ARGO, a fully automatic in-line packaging machine.
The result of long-standing experience has led to the creation of this new range of packaging machines, which combines the consolidated response to the needs of the various food categories (meat, fish products, pasta, confectionery, fruit and vegetables, dairy products, ready-to-serve meals, etc.) in a single machine.

The in-line handling of the packages by means of arms makes ARGO suitable for the development of complete and automated packaging lines. Italianpack, also thanks to the new ARGO, is able to offer solutions that include tray destacking, product filling (whether solid or liquid), package weight control (before and after closing the tray), film marking, closure of the tray with neutral or pre-printed film, application of lids on the trays, sensors for detecting foreign bodies
in the packages.
ARGO can also be integrated into existing lines, interfacing with external machinery and thus optimising its performance.

Continuous efforts and continuous research have led Italianpack to innovate technologically. As a result, ARGO has been designed to be controlled electrically.
The pneumatic drives have been replaced by electric actuators (7 brushless servomotors), which optimise the energy used while maximising efficiency.
Thanks to the continuous development of innovative solutions, which have enabled Argo to be equipped with Brushless servo motors, a new generation of vacuum and gas intake system, we have been able to achieve a productivity of up to 25 cycles in welding only, 18 cycles in MAP and 10 cycles in SKIN.

The strength of ARGO, like all Italianpack packaging machines, is flexibility and the ability to adapt to different manufacturing conditions while ensuring high packaging standards. In this sense, all the packaging technologies can be controlled with a single packaging machine and a single die:
sealing only, vacuum packing, gas flush, modified atmosphere packaging, Skin, Protrusion Skin and stretch.

Advantages

Italianpack’s thirty-year experience has allowed it to focus on its customers’ practical needs, aware of the ever-increasing importance of ease of use and tooling speed. ARGO, depending on the application, is equipped with a lower die tool-free, cleaning and maintenance operations.

The die change operations are made easier thanks to a die trolley, on which the die is positioned and fastened; the trolley is equipped with a 180° die rotation system, which allows it to be accessed easily for cleaning and maintenance operations. The trolley can be equipped with a preheating system that allows the die to be brought to the required operating temperature before being positioned inside the machine, therefore it will be ready for use avoiding downtime.

The die handling operations (opening and closing) take place by means of a worm screw, which ensures extremely fast and precise movements, making ARGO distinctive in its kind; compared to the classic movements (toggle or pneumatic) the strokes are therefore adjusted more easily and there is a higher sealing pressure, speeding up the packaging cycle.
In order to optimise and maximise productivity, ARGO is equipped with a powerful and compact vacuum pump for normal production, but where necessary it can be fitted with vacuum accelerators to increase its performance.

One of Italianpack’s main objectives is to help its customers to produce with greater efficiency. The presence of a 15”colour touch screen allows the operator to interact with the machine intuitively and monitor its operation.
The touch screen is fitted on an adjustable arm and allows the operator to monitor and control the machine from both sides.

ItalianPack Argo reaches packaging performance standards of 25 cycles per minute in sealing mode, 18 cycles per minute in MAP mode and up to 10 cycles per minute in SKIN mode.

High Quality

Precision, Power, High performance

All motors, except the one for lifting the chamber, are connected to a planetary gearbox which ensures high efficiency and accuracy thanks to the increase in motor torque.

Handling welding bell

The rise and fall of the welding bell is carried out by a worm screw controlled by a servo Bruschless motor, in addition to the speed and a high and constant pressure, we have a total flexibility to every change format being able to adjust the height of the bell through program. In addition, the worm screw is equipped with an automatic greaser.

Integrated temperature control, advanced MAP paramatri management, Tray SKIN , VAC. In addition, our touch Wide Screen has the function, SWIPE PAGE; ZOOM and the possibility to insert VIDEO, PDF.

Teleservice

Aware of the importance of minimising downtime, ARGO is equipped with a modem and an integrated Ethernet port for ADSL connection, thus ensuring timely remote assistance and monitoring of the packaging machine even if it is located in places that are difficult to reach. ARGO is also designed to meet the requirements of INDUSTRY 4.0

Easy cleaning

Argo has been designed to meet all the hygiene requirements of food inudstria. Thanks to the materials used, the tray handling arms positioned at the top, the possibility to open the conveyor belts of the line and make them suspended and have a plan compleationally accessible for washing and sanitizing our line is completely accessible and washable.

Assisted tool change software

Easy access

Sealing, vacuum units and electronic instantly accessible via front panel for quick and easy maintenance and cleaning operations.

Motorized infeed conveyor

Control of the transport of the trays through 2 motorized belts controlled by 2 independent servo motors BRUSCHLESS that cadenzano the trays equiziandole correctly and quickly.

Motorized Outfeed Conveyor

Motorized belt output that allows to transfer in a constant and precise way the trays in the end of the machine line.

Film coil shaft driven by brushles motor

Expanding shaft

Film waste rewinding by brushless motor

Thanks to the triple motorization through Bruschless servo motors with the automatic regulation of the film tension, we can use films with microns and smaller and smaller rejects with a view to increasingly important sustainability and speed up the productivity of the cycle.
