FISHER MATTHEWS FMS40 SLEEVING MACHINE

This machine was previously used as part of a packaging line of a very popular dairy product.

The Fisher Matthews FMS40 sleeving machine is designed for the secondary packaging of consumer prodcts in single or multiple packs. Specifically designed sleeves for a range of products and multiples can be accommodated at an output rate which is present to an agreed apecification. The Sleeving machine consists of the following subsections:

  1. Main Frane or Lower Section
  2. Cross Transfer Infeed
  3. Infeed Section
  4. Sleeve Hopper Assembly
  5. Vertical Ploughs
  6. Upper Sectionh
  7. Horizontal Ploughs
  8. Glue Gun Assembly
  9. Sleeve alignment and compression unit
  10. Kick-in Lock Mechanism
  11. Outfeed Accelerator
  12. Outfeed Conveyor
  13. Drive Motor
  14. Reject Station
  15. Allen Bradely Control Panel

General Working Principle:

The external loading of the products is by conveyor onto the in feed assembly. The product is then fed into the machine so that it can be engaged by one of the pusher bars. The pusher bars which are driven by the main chains of the machine enable the products to be accurately positioned as they are driven through the machine for subsequent operations. During this initial movement of the product, a sleeve will have been picked up from the hopper and placed onto the product pack.

Rotary vertical ploughs fold the sleeve over the product as it passes through the guide rails. This is followed by the action of the first horizontal ploughs and if required, the glue application. The second horizontal plough then tucks the sleeve under the product.

Further travel of the pack through the sleeve alignment and compression area ensures that the sleeve is correctly tensioned onto the product. As the adhesive sets, the pack is then accelerated out of the machine by the side gripping accelerator belts and onto the out feed conveyor.

Alternatively, where the sleeve is not glued, the glue gun is inactive and as the pack travels through the sleeve alignment and compression area, the sleeve is locked at the base of the pack by the action of the kick-in lock mechanism.
