Hayssen Controls and VFFS Bagger Rebuild
MSI has done much work with vertical baggers. MSI has a control rebuild kit for Hayssen baggers, and several other bagger types.
Bagger rebuilds are done on site in about 3 days. Customers have new controls and notice many benefits such as higher speeds and less maintenance.
MSI now provides full bagger rebuild services in partnership with FormerFab in Pearland TX. Together we can rebuild all the mechanical systems of the bagger and install the MSI control system. We can provide full service customization services for your bagging needs.

Hayssen Ultima bagging frozen rice. 48/min, San Diego, CA May 2001
"We have increased production by more than 25% using this new package from MSI. In fact, if our feeding equipment were faster the machine would continue to excel in speed".
Tom Johnson, Senior Engineer, Delimex Foods
Machine Systems Integrators has rebuilt over 30 vertical baggers since 2001. There have been many configurations, options, and custom requests. The package has evolved with many unique features as the rebuild has progressed. One Hayssen rebuild was packaging a 15”, 2 pound bag of onion rings at a rate of 78/minute and running 20 hours per day. It was a challenge to get this rate and film speed to stop accurately and to be synchronized with the scale. This has been in production since September 2010 and it has not had any issues. Prior to this brakes and clutches were failing almost weekly. |

Hayssen Vertical Form/Fill/Seal Retrofit Kit
Machine Systems Integrators has developed a retrofit package to rebuild an existing Hayssen (or other) vertical form, fill and seal machine. This package will replace the existing gearbox and clutch/brake assemblies. The replacement drives uses 2 high performance Mitsubishi servo motors for the measuring roller and the pull belts. The pull bets share a single servo motor with the use of a pair of spur gears. The entire control system is replaced with an Allen-Bradley PLC system and a color touch screen operator panel. Existing valves and sensors are kept, but most other electrical hardware is replaced. The package improves performance greatly by utilizing the smooth and rapid acceleration of the servo motor drive. |
Controls
The control package includes an Allen-Bradley PLC, Mitsubishi servo drives, temperature controls (integrated to the PLC), and 7" color touch screen. The controls are "off the shelf" and familiar to maintenance personnel. MSI can customize installations to the exact needs. MSI will release all programs and documents so the end user can support the machine with any typical maintenance or control service. The PLC connects existing wiring to its modules and controls all machine functions. MSI does all feeder integration along with training and production startup. Programs and documents released so there is no parent company with any proprietary claim to the machine.
Operator Screens
There are more than a dozen helpful operator screens. Machine adjustments can be made while the machine is running. There are screens to set the machine speed, bag length, and the film tension. A screen allows adjustment of the unwind roll for tracking. All machine timing can be adjusted using a 0-360 on/off selection for all actuators. This is similar to the original Hayssen screen set-up. Another screen allows temperature adjustment for sealing. Film registration can be selected on a screen. Up to 8 Product recipes are included. There are also screens for data logging uptime, downtime and units produced. There are screens to jog the motors and to actuate the valves one at a time manually. Options include using different languages, adding Bill of Material list, or maintenance information.
