SAUKVILLE, Wis. – Matrix Packaging Machinery, powered by ProMach, will showcase at the Pennsylvania Convention Center during the East Pack Exposition, June 18-20, the Mercury HS, the company’s top selling vertical form-fill-seal machine. This high-speed bagging solution supports increased throughput, decreased waste, and improved overall efficiency of the packaging operation. Annual operating costs average less than $1,000 per year.

The Mercury HS forms, fills, and seals up to 140 bags per minute. Bag sizes range from 1.75 x 2.5 inches to 11 x 15 inches. Standard features include stainless steel construction, Matrix Smart Jaw ST horizontal sealing technology, color touch screen operator panel, English/Spanish operator interface, and an Allen Bradley MicroLogix PLC control system. Compared to other high speed machines, the Mercury has a small footprint, which helps to conserve valuable floor space.
Every Mercury HS offers a self-centering film drive down system, automatic edge guide film tracking, short travel, and angled incline film upwind, each of which contributes to precise film movement and trouble free operation. Tool-free quick-change core chucks help to ensure fast changeover between jobs.
These units can be used with a wide range of fillers. Matrix is showing at East Pack the Mercury HS integrated with the new Yamato F314SV multi-head weighing solution. The Yamato F314SV is ideal for high speed applications such as nuts, candy, crackers, cookies, and similar type products. Featuring bottom-based handling modifications, the F314SV can achieve speeds of up to 200 weighments/minute, while offering a large window between produce discharges for optimum package sealing.
Matrix is also demonstrating at East Pack its Elete model bagging machine, a solution for those stepping up from manual or semi-automatic bagging
The Elete is designed for those companies that want a simple to use, rugged vertical form-fill-seal machine that is loaded with features and is easy on the budget. There are a number of Elete models with a range of options. The machine showcased in Philadelphia comes with a fill rate of up to 120 fractional packs or up to 40 flat bottom bags per minute. Bag sizes range from a minimum of 3 x 2.5 inches to a maximum of 13 x 15 inches. This unit also has a rugged stainless steel frame, Matrix Smart Jaw ST sealing system, automatic web edge guide film tracking system, tool free film roll and forming tube changeover, nationally available Allen-Bradley control components, and more.
