Cobalt 300 Series Collator

The Cobalt 300 Series Collator receives product from a horizontal pouch machine or vertical form/fill/seal and orients the bags for packing.  Stand-up pouches and bags are collated, counted and neatly organized for easy case packing by one operator.  Customers report quick payback by reducing labor and increasing throughput.

The Cobalt Collator makes packing more efficient and ergonomically friendly over traditional turntable pack-off lines, eliminating repetitive twisting motions and simplifying product pick-up and case packing by the operator.  Case counts are selected on the control panel eliminating counting errors.  

Compact, portable, and flexible the system offers immediate changeover with a selector switch.
