IMA Ilapak | Vegatronic 2600 and Vision 3000

Complete bagging line for bread rolls with vision system and vertical form-fill-seal equipment. Vision 3000 is a vision system using laser technology and will be running in line with an intermittent vertical form-fill-seal machine, the Vegatronic 2600.

Vision 3000 is a vision system using laser technology and will be running in line with an intermittent vertical form-fill-seal machine, the Vegatronic 2600. Together, as a fully integrated solution for bakeries, these machines will be displayed as a complete bagging line for bread rolls.

By means of a combination of laser and line scan cameras, Vision 3000 guarantees accurate checking and counting operations to verify product height, length, width and surface. Feeding products at high speed, Vision 3000 is so flexible it will handle fresh, par-baked, frozen and raw dough products, whether baguettes, pretzels, rolls, bagels, donuts or croissants. 

Based around a 2.5D laser and line scan camera combination, which generates real-time, overlaid images of the product flow, the software calculates when the target number per pack has been reached. Currently, the fastest available camera technology on the market, Vision 3000 also provides quality control capabilities, screening for deformed or damaged products, such as bent or broken baguettes. Furthermore, the system can be integrated with a metal detector, sharing a reject system with the quality control module. IMA Ilapak makes sure that whatever needs to go from freezer to box or bag is exactly what the customer wants.

Vision 3000 will be seen feeding the Vegatronic 2600 with a film buffer, an exclusive feature to avoid downtime. According to product and gentle handling requirements, Vegatronic 2600 can operate with 30, 45 or 60-degree inclination.  Bag width is up to 580mm, with a maximum film width of 1200mm. Small or large bags can be used to pack fresh or frozen rolls, croissants, bagels, muffins and more. Flexibility is enhanced thanks to solutions increasing line efficiency and features designed to facilitate changeover procedures and minimise downtime, such as the film buffering function allowing the film roll to be changed without stopping the machine.

Completing the benefits of Vegatronic 2600, the open-frame design offers easy access for fast servicing and maintenance, and boasting the highest seal pressure on the market, gas tight seals are fully guaranteed.
