Bag packaging systems:
Automated Packaging
Systems has announced a
new series of bag packaging systems with advanced
technology and ergonomic
design for maximum productivity. The Autobag 500
and Autobag 550 bag-gers are versatile machines
designed for a wide range
of high-speed packaging
applications.
The Autobag 500 will operate at rates of over 100 bags per
minute using genuine Autobag pre-opened bags-on-a-roll in
sizes from 2 to 12 inches wide by 2. 5 to 20 inches long. The
Autobag 550 utilizes the same basic design, with a fully integrated AutoLabel imprinter positioned directly over the next bag
to be loaded, eliminating the need for a separate print and label
operation.
These systems were designed to provide more efficient loading with an adjustable pass-through opening up to five inches
wide. The new Autobag systems can be configured in left- or
right-hand orientation with an easy height adjustment for maximum operator productivity and comfort. (Automated Packaging

Hybrid shipping container: Truck transport and logistics services firm ATS International has introduced what the company
calls the next big thing in container shipping: a hybrid shipping
container specially designed to handle breakbulk and oversized
cargo. Known as the Breakbulk Box, the specialty container has
completed a successful test shipment from Florida’s Jaxport to
Puerto Rico.
The Breakbulk Box offers shippers the ability to have breakbulk
and oversized cargo loaded directly onto a container bed, as
the lid and walls lift off in a single top piece. Once the cargo is
secured in place using special lashing hooks inside the container bed, the top is
replaced by a stacker or crane, allowing the unit to be
secured and handled
just like a standard
shipping container.
According to ATS,
the Breakbulk Box
is designed to move
seamlessly between
truck, rail, and ship. The 53-foot container carries the seal of
approval for ocean use by the International Convention for Safe
Containers. (ATS International, www.jaxport.com)
