Pearson BI18 Bag Inserter opens, inserts, and cuffs perforated plastic bags from roll stock into a wide variety of corrugated cases at speeds of up to 18 cases per minute. Advanced design features guarantee smooth and precise bag placement and handling. Furthermore, high-visibility machine status lighting, non-contact interlocks, CAT-3 Safety Circuits, easily accessible grace port and an auxiliary operator station are standard features on the machine.
Opposing vacuum plenums ensure consistent bag opening by grasping both sides of the bag simultaneously and pulling them in opposite directions.
Vacuum plenums hold the bag in position in relation to the top of the case as the bag is pushed to the bottom of the case. Cuffing fingers are activated to contain the top perimeter of the bag as the vacuum releases and the cuffing fingers descend.
Anti-static bars dissipate built-up static electricity to allow for fast feeding of bags into position for placement.
Fast changeovers are supported by the industry’s most advanced HMI with an uncluttered design, intuitive navigation, interactive changeover and fault-recovery guides, live sensor maps, and advanced maintenance features. Scales, pointers and quick release handles ensure additional tools are not necessary. Trained technicians can complete a changeover in under 20min.
A standard hydraulic bag roll lift cart enables simplified, ergonomic replacement of heavy bag rolls.
A remote operator station enables machine control on both sides of the conveyor.
Dual channel safety circuit maintains integrity of safety features in case of single component failure.
Eliminates misalignment of guard door interlocks which prevents problems common to keyed interlocks.
A standard four-light LED beacon and multi-color interior machine lighting provides high-visibility of machine status.
Grace ports provide convenient communication access and 110V convenience outlet at the outside of the machine’s electrical cabinet.
Allows Pearson’s support team on-demand access to the equipment’s PLC and HMI through a secure VPN connection via an eWON router (ISECOM STAR and ISO27001 certified) to support emergency troubleshooting and reduce on-site visits.

A spare bag roll enables quicker replacement of empty bags by exchanging the entire roll and refilling the empty one while the machine is already back in production.
Air conditioning provides cooling when ambient temperature becomes too hot or the contents of the electrical enclosure generate heat that risk failure to components.
Standard Bag Inserters sit atop of the customer’s existing conveyor. Alternatively, Pearson can provide and internal fitted conveyor, which extends from the outer edge of the infeed tunnel guard and reaches to the outer edge of the discharge tunnel guard.
A custom sized mandrel replaces the standard mandrel to provide better placement of the bag in the case. A fitted mandrel is recommended if the bag is being pulled into the case during loading with certain products. A fitted mandrel may reduce the speed of the machine.
Electrical enclosures located in cold and humid environments maintain better performance and longevity with the addition of this heater and drier package.
This machine can be modified to operate outside of standard specifications to accommodate smaller or larger dimension products and cases. Specific adjustments require engineering review to determine limitations and potential performance trade-offs such as machine speed or larger machine footprint.
A Network Address Translation device allows specific Ethernet network configurations across multiple machines in the plant network and offers the ability for remote support through VPN connections.
Easily move or reposition a machine on the production floor with the portability package, which provides locking casters and stabilizing jackscrew assemblies. Depending on machine model, it can also include quick disconnects for air lines and electrical lines.
