Bag Machine Options: Controls, Add-ons & Upgrades
Converting System's offers several options to expand and increase the productivity and safety of your current machines.
“Clamshell” Safety Guarding System Add-on
These "Clamshell" style guards have been designed for use on new Converting Systems bag machines or various other manufacturers’ shuttle style machines. When an operator flips back the Lexan guard to access the machine, the guard system signals the bag machine to stop production. This then puts the machine in a "safe" mode for the operators to perform set-up, maintenance, or web up the machine. With the ability to mount on many different suppliers machines, these guard systems are an economical way to meet stringent safety requirements.

New! Tool-less Handle Adjustment Assembly
Bag Machine operators can now quickly and easily make adjustments to the Teflon curtain without having to stop and find the right sized tool. Also eliminates lost parts. This new tool-less design supports our goal to provide more operator friendly machines to our customers. Place order HERE
This retrofit system is designed for typical hydraulic style inline bag machines to eliminate the original bag length "variator" unit supplied on many inline bag machines. Operators now have the ability to quickly and accurately set up these machines for production and change the bag length the very next cycle after data entry. This new system is a great way to improve your existing hydraulic machines on a very reasonable budget. Included in this controller is a 12-position hole punch controller, along with an alarm output for bag count. As an option, an electronic registration system is available for registered print applications. Can be installed in-house using your personnel.
Standard Model Specifications:
Bag lengths: 10 - 100"

(up to 9,900")
Dwell time: up to 3 sec.
Hole punching: up to 12 settings
Counter: included

Slit Seal Unit Add-on
This hot knife Slit Seal Unit utilizes small, heated blades to penetrate and seal plastic film as it is passed over the blade. It operates with a 120Vac 50/60Hz power and includes a 6' power cord.
Pinch Roll Edge Guide System/Retrofit
CSI’s Pinch Roll Edge Guide System is designed as a “drop in” system to help guide a web through a bag or pouch machine. Since it does not require the web to be "wrapped" over or under any rollers, it is ideal for film which have fixtures installed that cannot be wrapped over/under any camber rollers. This system uses a laser sensor to accurately monitor the edge of the web. The control unit then makes adjustments to pinch rollers to pull the film in one direction or another. Incredibly easy installation and set-up make this unit an ideal field retrofit on any number of different machines. The solid model (see picture) provides a visual of an installation in the sync. Section of a typical side weld and bottom seal machine - note the section rails used in the model.

Variator Replacement System Retrofit
CSI’s Variator Replacement System allows customers the ability to upgrade only the Tension Variator portion of a shuttle style machine. On many older machines, a worn-out shuttle tension variator becomes inconsistent, allowing film tension to vary greatly during a production run. Inaccurate set-up, and inconsistent tension control cause a large amount of scrap. CSI’s Variator Replacement System transforms the variator system to an electronic line shaft controlled, AC Vector axis. This Vector drive follows EXACTLY the encoder feedback from the machine, then follows EXACTLY the speed of the nip rolls. Whether running 25 FPM or 250 FPM, the servo will follow accurately and deliver consistent film tension. Operators can easily adjust shuttle tension with a simple potentiometer.
