The 880 Auto Wrapper is METTLER TOLEDO’s top-of-the-line model in the new 800 series for weighing, wrapping and labeling in backroom environments. With the 880 Auto Wrapper, METTLER TOLEDO is responding to the needs of grocery retailers who are looking for a robust and economical fully-automated wrapping station – one that can cope with the highest demands and which has sufficient capacity reserves for large production volumes. With an operational footprint of less than 20 square feet, it is one of the most compact systems currently available in its class.
Perfect Wraps
The 880 Auto Wrapper guarantees food retailers a perfect wrap every time. Operators simply place the trays on the infeed tray and the machine’s insertion mechanism and centering belt correctly position any skewed or angled trays in a fraction of a second. The 880 Auto Wrapper perfectly seals the trays, both in terms of appearance and with high mechanical precision to prevent any product spillages or leaks at a later stage. The device reduces film consumption and hence the total cost of ownership since, unlike in the case of manual wrapping, multiple wraps are not necessary. Furthermore, the alignment and position of the label can be adjusted – monitored by sensors – accurately with a simple tap on the touchscreen. In addition, the 880 Auto Wrapper can optionally support labeling on the bottom of the tray.
Easy to Operate
The 880 Auto Wrapper is very easy to use and does not involve costly operator training, even for temporary or part-time employees who have no previous experience of working with automated wrapping machines. In the case of a changeover, whether of products or films, the step-by-step instructions on the device’s large touchscreen display guide operators through the process to ensure the operator is using the machine safely and correctly. Moreover, the 880 Auto Wrapper has a tactile numeric keypad. Hence, during product changeovers, advanced operators can enter the PLU directly via the tactile keypad without searching or even looking at the touchscreen, resulting in even faster and more efficient operation.
