The unit is portable, weighing less than 35lbs, and is simple to operate. The system can be operated at an adjustable machine pace of up to 24 cycles per minute, or at the operator's pace as controlled by the foot pedal.
Machine Specifications
The Micro Plus acts like an extra set of hands for the operator, presenting and opening the pouch to allow product to be loaded with minimal human contact and effort, keeping the operators fingers outside of the pouch at all times. After the product has been inserted into the pouch the unit releases it, allowing it to be sealed with a separate heat sealer.
Features and Options
Like the standard Micro, the Micro Plus is ideal for rapid deployment of new products, such as new medical tests or treatments that cannot wait months for a fully automated or custom packaging solution. With short lead times and minimal operator training required the Micro is one of the fastest ways to significantly increase production capabilities. By potentially doubling or tripling the efficiency of operators more pouches can be loaded with fewer people in less time.
