The Morpheus
The Morpheus continuous motion form fill seal machine is built on Matrix next generation technology that offers such core attributes as small footprint to conserve floor space, high-speed operation for greater throughput, PC-based architecture with the latest in servo motion control for exacting operation and fast changeover, and the PackML programming language, which gives commonality to packaging machine operator interface and machine-to-machine communication.
In the Morpheus demo, the machine operates with a Spee-Dee Packaging Machinery Revolution Series auger. Morpheus machines are capable of running films that require longer seal times while still yielding high throughput, making it ideal for applications such as frozen, fresh cut, and individually quick frozen (IQF) foods. Morpheus can handle bag sizes from 2-12 inches (51-305 mm) wide to 2-20 inches (51-508 mm) long.
Matrix has engineered automatic setup for the vacuum pull belts on the Morpheus. Vacuum pull belts grip and pull the film through the machine to specified lengths. Precise setup is essential to bag forming consistency.
