Random Size Carton Sealer

If you have a packing line with random or non-conforming carton sizes, Berran has the machinery for you. Sealing cartons of varying heights and widths on a conveyor system can pose a challenge, but Eagle packaging equipment has you covered.

Berran offers several options on a random size carton sealer for sealing cartons of varying sizes on the same line. Eagle machines such as the T400R, T550RL, and T600RA are capable of self-adjusting to the currently loaded carton size. Thereby reducing downtime due to machine adjustment and reconfiguration.

For more information, view the Eagle R2B2 product information page or contact one of our representatives.

Eagle R2B2 Product Information

The Eagle R2B2 is part of the Eagle line of packaging equipment. These are top quality stretch wrappers. The Eagle R2B2 is an ideal choice for individuals working in warehouses with minimal space because of its small footprint and mobile operation. Place this stretch wrapper next to your pallet. Using the push-button powered assist and you ready to go. The operator will select a pallet wrap mode using the HMI and press the start button. The Eagle R2B2 robotic stretch wrapper will do the rest. While in operation, the Eagle R2B2 has an audible warning prior to and during transit. Additionally, there is a multi-color stack light present at the top of the film carriage mast.

Powered Film Carriage

Similar to the Eagle 2000B, the Eagle R2B2 offers a powered film pre-stretch carriage that offers 100% and 250% pre-stretch options. Pre-stretching the film before application both extends the life of a roll of film and adds to the holding power of the film once it is applied to the pallet.

We have several film types and thicknesses available and in stock for use with our Eagle line of stretch wrappers.

Custom Screens

The Eagle R2B2 HMI screens can be customized. Further options can include your company logo and colors to match your company. In order to take advantage of this option, please let us know in advance. Screen changes are implemented by our on-site engineers using state of the art software.

Automatic Load Height Sensor
/ By David Black / Eagle • Packaging Equipment • Terminology/ • • • / 0 Comments

What is ALHS?

Automatic Load Height Sensor, also known as ALHS has many benefits when installed to your Eagle series stretch wrapper. One is to identify the top of the pallet load that our Eagle series stretch wrappers are equipped with.  And two, it will determine when a load has been placed on the your machine. There are several types of load height sensors. For example we have listed two of our common sensors below.

Diffused Light Sensors

Diffused Light Load Height Sensor
Diffused Light Sensor

A diffused light sensor is commonly called as proximity mode. When light strikes the target from various angels it becomes diffused. After light returns directly to the receiver the target has been detected. Factors such as color, size and finish determine the target. The actual sensing range for each model is based upon a “white card test”. The white card has a 90% reflectivity factor and is considered a “standard target”. Targets with darker colored or a matte finish provides less reflectivity. In other words, increase the sensitivity or position the sensor closer to the target.

Operational modes:

  • Diffused with background suppression
    • Sensors with background suppression have a defined sensing range for any object regardless of color, reflectivity or finish. These sensors are easy to install and adjust. As well as detect dark objects placed on shiny backgrounds.
  • Diffused with foreground suppression
    • Sensors with foreground suppression define a “dead-band” from the sensor’s optical window. Objects that fall inside this minimum sensing distance are ignored.
  • Diffused with background evaluation
    • Sensors with background evaluation only evaluate the light reflected by the background (i.e. the floor). If the sensor is not able to see the background, the output will change state. This is useful in applications with odd shapes where direct light at the target cannot be reflected back to the sensors.

Digital laser load height sensor

Digital Laser Load Height Sensor

A laser load height sensor enables long distance detection. This is useful for difficult applications where there must be a focused, visible beam spot. TOF (Time of Flight) is the method used to measure distance using a laser.

The TOF method of detection measures distance by calculating the time it takes for a pulse-emitted beam to leave the sensor, hit the target, and then return to the sensor. Therefore this provides stability of the detected work piece.

Pallet Load Profile?
/ By David Black / Packaging Equipment • Packaging Supplies • Terminology/ • / 0 Comments

What is a pallet load profile?

What you should know

A pallet load profile is a way of categorizing the load composition of a pallet. To begin with, you can load pallet in an infinite number of ways. This will often vary from load to load. Next, when positioning the items on your pallet the vertical and/or horizontal profile will change. Incidentally depending on the horizontal and vertical edge profiles, you may be required to use a different stretch film or machine operation.

In conclusion, knowing the load profile of your pallets to be wrapped makes it easier to determine which stretch wrapping machine and stretch film will work best for the given application.

Pallet load profile 'A'
Pallet Load Profile 'A'

Profile 'A'

Type 'A' loads have uniform horizontal and vertical edge profiles. The load footprint is nearly the same size as the pallet deck. Each item contained within the load to be wrapped fits together to form a uniform shape. There are few edges that can puncture the stretch wrap as it is being applied. Due to the uniform lines and lack of snag points, these are the easiest loads to wrap.

 

Pallet load profile 'B'
Pallet Load Profile 'B'

Profile 'B'

Type 'B' loads do not have the same uniform vertical and horizontal edge profiles as loads rated as profile 'A'. The load pattern results in irregular vertical and/or horizontal profiles and may not be the same size as the pallet deck. It is possible that edges may exist on these types of loads that can cause punctures or failure of stretch wrap film.

Pallet load profile 'C'
Pallet Load Profile 'C'

Profile 'C'

Type "C" loads vary from pallet to pallet. No two 'C' loads will have the same vertical or horizontal edge profiles. Sharp edges will require additional stretch wrap management and a higher quality stretch film is recommended to handle this type of difficult load.
