Horizontal bagging machine BF60C

automaticfor the food industry

Product overview
The BF 60C bag filler from B&B Verpackungstechnik is an automatic bag packaging system for toilet paper, C‑fold towels and kitchen rolls. The modular machine handles multi‑lane product feeding (typically 4 lanes), groups products into programmed formations and inserts them into pre‑made bags on wickets. Bags are separated and opened by vacuum arms, folded and cross‑sealed; film remnants are extracted by vacuum for a clean finish.

Design and construction
The system is built as a modular construction kit with a stable base frame, height‑adjustable feet and large transparent protective doors with safety interlocks. All safety devices comply with CE requirements. Centralized adjustments and recipe‑based reproducibility enable quick format changes. Servo drives handle filling mouths, lift motions and transport functions. The bag magazine provides multiple stack positions and a servo‑driven pusher chain adjustable for different bag widths.

Key machine functions

• Feeding and shaping: Multi‑lane delivery (standard 4 lanes) with grouping of products into defined pack formations before the main infeed.
• Insertion mouth & vacuum opener: Bag opening station with vacuum bag opener, servo‑driven filling mouth, programmable stroke and opening angle; jam detection via torque limitation; format positions reproducible via software.
• Bag magazine BF 60: Three or six bag stack positions, servo‑motorized lifting station, bag detection, quick bag change via chain; adjustable for different bag widths.
• Transverse sealing with folding: Designed for single‑ and dual‑lane operation with process‑safe folding and cross‑sealing; extraction of film remnants by vacuum.
• Transport and delivery: Servo‑driven rod‑chain conveyors and belt conveyors for precise transfer and length adjustment for different bag depths; speed control via frequency converters.

Technical details (summary)
Modular and expandable concepts adapt the system to new products or market requirements; flexible solutions for individual production needs.

Areas of application
Optimized packaging for tissue and hygiene products including folded hand towels/napkins, tissue rolls and multipacks; suitable for tissue, hygiene paper and related formats.

Performance and options
Performance depends on roll format and pack formation; typical output ranges (model and product dependent) approx. 20–120 packs/min. Bag formats are tailored to packaging dimensions (roll diameter, height, rows/layers). Options include automatic bag ejection/opening, infeed buffer, pack grouping, zipper/carry‑handle bags, printing/labeling stations and leak testing.

Quality, setup and safety
Format change via recipes (pack pattern, bag dimensions, compression) and tool‑free settings guided by HMI. Quality assurance through shape‑stable packaging, controlled insertion and clean sealing; cameras/sensors for presence and position checks. Safety features include locked protective covers, emergency stop and CE‑compliant safety control; torque limitation and film residue extraction reduce disturbances and scrap.
