Taylor Products Fiber Packaging Station, Incline Slat Conveyor, Bag Dump and Meter System, 2014

Item 1
TAYLOR PRODUCTS FIBER PACKAGING STATION
Net Weigh packaging station that will receive fiber strand from a cleated belt conveyor (or other feeding
mechanism), accumulate by weight the correct amount for one bag weighment, compress and discharge
the product into a bag for closing by operator.
The process includes the operator placing the bag on a bag clamp spout. The bag is held in place by the
bag clamps while the product is metered into the weigh chamber until the correct amount of product has
been dispensed. Then the sidewalls of the chamber close, which opens the bottom of the net weigh
chamber doors, and as the product is compressed by a plunger it is also pushed down into the bag. As the
plunger retracts the bag is released.
Components include:
• Weigh System will be Taylor T-4000 meter with AB PLC unit mounted in Nema 12 Enclosure
and placed on remote enclosure stand
• Carbon Steel Square tubing structural framework and carbon steel contact surfaces
• Wing Press feeder system will receive material from belt conveyor and distributes it with
adjustable fingers controlled by VFD system into Net Weigh chamber
• Weigh mast design with single load cell for support of the net weigh bucket and compression
plunger
• Powered bag support system with motor, drive and location sensors
• Net weigh chamber with discharge gate and compression sidewalls
• Bag spout with clamps to hold the bag in place during fill and compression
• Bag support tray for support during compression
• Side guide plates which hold and form bag during compression
• Compression plunger system
• AB Micro 1400 PLC control package with interface for in feed conveyor system
Additional Options Added:
• Dual pressure regulator and valve system which will clamp bags at lower pressure when foot
switch is used and then increase to higher pressure when double palm switches are activated.
• Increased Compression cylinder size and Increased Wing Press cylinder size due to material
resistance. Hopper and wings will be UHMW lined for friction reductions.
• Upgrade UHMW material to electrical conductive carbon based UHMW Polyethylene for static
reduction. (Material will be Black in Color due to Carbon injection)

Carbon steel construction with acrylic enamel finish. Requires 115 V AC 60 Hz and 460 V AC 60 Hz
Compressed air must be clean and dry
Operating temperature range of 32F to 110F
