Bagging Machines
The Hiemac Bagmaster is an attractive, compact, machine for bagging garments very quickly and efficiently.
Bagging garments is made easier and quicker as the patented ‘sky hook’ opens and spreads the plastic film as it is pulled down over the garments. With a quick downward snap, the plastic is separated at the hook, leaving the next bag open and ready for the next order of garments.
The Hiemac Bagmaster bagging Machine is best mounted on the slick rail allowing the garments to pass underneath. The ’sky hook’ eliminates the need of a floor stand leaving the floor area around the bagger completely uncluttered.
Automated RFID Garment Sortation
Garments directly from the presses or steam tunnel can be sorted continuously and automatically into any one of 60 sortation rails. Without any operator input the garments move along the screw conveyor, through the RFID reading station. The control computer then directs each garment to its dedicated sortation rail. Each garment has a sewn in indestructible RFID tag capable of hundreds of high temp washers, the tag is also used for garment identification, the essential component in good inventory control .
Automated RFID reading station tagged garments are identified as they pass through this RFID antenna station. The computer then directs them to any one of 60 sortation rails further along the screw conveyor
Pneumatic gates takes the garments off the screw conveyor and directs them down their designated sortation rail.
