top-of-the-line model, offers gentle
product handling and can operate
at speeds up to 90 bags per minute,
according to Mr. Gunnell. Set up as
a bun bagging machine, the GTS
groups products according to a pack
pattern and stacks them immediately prior to bagging.

change eliminates the need for the
flying knife and related mechanical
complexity of the previous seal bar,
noted Dave Machette, Stewart’s national sales and marketing specialist.
