Urania Engineering proudly announces an exciting new packaging system

Accurately named the "PACKAGING ANSWER", our system meets the exacting demands of modern packaging, accommodating virtually all pouch types and configurations.

Pouches
loaded 'on the fly'

To guarantee optimal cycle rates and minimize operator involvement, Urania has developed a safe and effective method of replenishing the pouch magazine without interrupting the process cycle.

Pouch
Edge Detection

Using a laser sensor, the Packaging Answer automatically detects and locates the top edge of each pouch as it is removed from the magazine.

Ink Jet
Printing & Labeling

The Packaging Answer can label or ink-jet print on one or opposite sides of the supplied pouch as required by customer needs.

Pouch
Loading and Sealing

The Packaging Answer can be integrated to an existing Weigh/Dump unit, operated via manual operator loading, or designed to accommodate a customer's current product delivery system.

Servo
Controlled Adjustments

By using individual servo systems in each critical positioning step of the process, the Packaging Answer adjusts digitally instead of mechanically.

The Urania Engineering PouchPro System

The PouchPro pouch handling system from Urania Engineering is designed for end-users whose packaging requirements are simpler and have less variation.

Pouch
Magazine

The pouch magazine of the PouchPro system is designed to easily accommodate most flat type pouches regardless of size or material.

Four Position
Indexer

A four-position indexer is used to cycle each pouch through 90 degrees of rotation per cycle.

Ink Jet
Printing & Labeling

All PouchPro systems can easily accommodate a peripheral labeling or printing system.

Pouch
Loading and Sealing

Loading operations on PouchPro systems can be as simple as an operator dropping an item into an open pouch, or as complex as automatically loading a medical device and desiccant simultaneously from an infeed system.
