Autobag® Brand 500™ Bagging System

Next-generation bagging that optimizes flexibility for fulfillment, short-run, and build-on-demand operations

The Autobag® 500™ bagger represents a cutting-edge, automated filling and sealing device known for its dependability, versatility, and efficiency in packaging operations. With a remarkable capacity to process over 100 bags per minute, this system ensures optimal machine uptime and cost-effectiveness.

Incorporating state-of-the-art engineering, the Autobag 500 features an innovative and inherently safe design that eliminates the need for light curtains or double palm switches, making hand-load operations secure. Furthermore, its customizable configuration allows for left- or right-hand access to the Human-Machine Interface (HMI), cycle switch, and bag loading area, thereby enhancing ergonomics and operator efficiency.

Designed for adaptability, the Autobag 500 can cater to diverse packaging requirements. Its open architecture enables seamless compatibility with Autobag and third-party counting devices, scales, and feeds. Moreover, networking capabilities facilitate integration with pack stations and centralized monitoring, especially when combined with the AutoLabel 500™ inline imprinter to create a complete Print-and-Pack™ solution.

The system’s straightforward design, featuring minimal moving parts, not only reduces long-term expenses but also enhances reliability. On-board diagnostics and modular components further streamline maintenance tasks.

By utilizing genuine Autobag pre-opened bags-on-a-roll or bags-in-a-box where applicable, the Autobag 500 heralds a new era of top-notch, adaptable bag packaging solutions supported by an unmatched engineering expertise and service network in the industry.

Introducing the Autobag 500 Bagging System – The new flagship in bag packaging machinery optimizes reliability, flexibility and ergonomics – Autobag® 500™ Bagging System
The Autobag 500 will package at rates over 100 bags per minute using genuine Autobag pre-opened bags-on-a-roll in sizes from 2 inches to 12 inches wide by 2.5 inches 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.

An innovative design provides more efficient loading with an adjustable pass-through opening up to five inches wide. No light curtains and less guarding enable unrestricted access to the pre-opened bag while remaining inherently safe. These new Autobag bag packaging systems can be configured in left- or right-hand orientation with an easy height adjustment for maximum operator productivity and comfort. An improved, multi-position unwind with tension control provides faster changeovers of bag-on-a-roll materials with an AutoThread™ function that reduces waste.

“Development of the Autobag 500 and 550 was guided by what our customers told us they wanted most in a next-generation packaging solution. The result is a bagger platform that delivers improved value to everyone from the financial decision maker justifying the initial purchase all the way through to the operator that runs the machine on a daily basis,” says Chris Rempe, Global Marketing Director. “These new systems facilitate a faster Return on Investment and lower cost of ownership while offering enhanced connectivity and integration flexibility. Special attention was given to the industrial design to improve safety and ergonomics for the operator and ensure the external appearance of the machines complement the advanced technology found inside. We believe that making our customers more successful is the best way to ensure our own, and these new baggers represent our latest product innovation dedicated to the pursuit of that idea,” he adds.

Packaging Application Solution – Autobag®

Packaging Application Solution – Autobag®

BorderPak is a company focused on providing our customers with the best solutions to their packaging applications and requirements. We recently solved a bagging need for our customer Mueller Commercial located In Monterrey Mexico. Mueller had a need to bag different sized plumbing components in a Ziploc bag. The components were to be bagged 1 per bag and in some instances up to 5 per bag. The idea was to optimize the use of a bagger that would allow them the flexibility of the different counts required while employing a minimum number of operators. Since the bag needed to be a Ziploc bag and some counts called for multiple components, we proposed a Autobag® FAS SPrint Revolution inline bagger from Automated Packaging Systems. This bagging system fulfilled all of their packaging requirements by minimizing operator involvement while optimizing packaging speeds. The Autobag® FAS SPrint Revolution bagger also complied with their requirements to use Pre-printed Ziploc bags also manufactured by Autobag® Packaging Systems. Since each bag also required a “label” with variable printed information to be executed at the packaging point, the bagger was fitted with a Thermal Printer that allowed them to do just that. At the end of the day, we were able to provide Mueller Commercial with the best and most cost-effective solution to their bagging needs.
