Mettler-Toledo 880 Auto Wrapper

Mettler-Toledo has released the 880 Auto Wrapper for automatic weighing, wrapping and labelling of meat and fish products in backroom environments.

Suitable for grocery retailers who require a robust, fully automated wrapping station, the wrapper has the capacity for large production volumes, with a compact footprint of less than 1.8 m².

To operate the device, the user places the trays on the infeed tray and the machine’s insertion mechanism and centring belt correctly position any that are skewed or angled. The wrapper requires less film than manual wrapping as multiple wraps are not necessary, and the alignment and position of the label is monitored by sensors and can be adjusted using the touchscreen. The wrapper can optionally support labelling on the bottom of the tray.

The film chamber is accessible from the front of the machine, enabling simple roll changes and cleaning. Any offal incurred during wrapping is collected in the base of the wrapper and can be removed by opening the flap in the housing. The infeed tray can easily be removed for cleaning.

Moving parts that could cause injury are guarded with covers and safety stops. The energy-saving mode automatically shuts down the heating element when the machine is not in use.
