Packaging and robotic automation specialists, RMGroup, has announced the launch of the CTM800, a state-of-the-art mobile bagging system tailored for adaptability, speed and efficiency. The system seamlessly integrates within three standard 40ft shipping containers, providing a complete plug-and-play solution for forward-thinking enterprises.


The CTM800 comprises an ingenious two-floor structure creating optimal space utilization. On the second floor, the infeed dosing/weighing system is situated directly above the primary automated machinery, ensuring maximized productivity. On the ground floor, the advanced form fill and seal machine guarantees precise automation in the packaging process. This is further enhanced by a cutting-edge robotic palletizer, maintaining fluidity from start to finish. Additionally, a wrapping cell located on the ground floor completes the packaging process, making the CTM800 a comprehensive turnkey solution for businesses. The system is also known for its high-speed performance, achieving speeds of up to 18 bags per minute, depending on the product being bagged.

Commenting on the launch, Edward Rees, RMGroup's managing director, said: "2007 was the year that RMGroup made the first portable bagging and robotic palletizing system - the first company in the world to pioneer this concept. As with many of the products within the mobile bagging range of machinery, they have evolved based on customer demand to bag product at source.

"Building on the containerized product range makes sense for our overseas customers. Today's model includes a wrapping container which also applies a top sheet to protect palletized product. We've gone one step further in fixtures and fittings to provide a fully functioning 'factory in a box' environment to enhance the ease of maintenance, keep personnel safe, and create an ambient operating temperature to increase the life expectancy of equipment. Those looking for a system of this kind needn't worry about planning permission. It can be picked up and relocated within hours."

In addition to its cutting-edge features and unmatched efficiency, the CTM800 stands as a testament to RMGroup's dedication to sustainable solutions. The containers utilized in this system are not only optimized for performance but also designed with eco-friendly principles, further reinforcing RMGroup's commitment to sustainable innovations. This commitment has not gone unnoticed, as RMGroup has been recognized with previous awards for its containerized, mobile bag filling and palletizing solutions and their direct impact on reducing carbon footprints for their customers.

As RMGroup continues to set new benchmarks and cater to evolving market demands, the popularity of their mobile bagging systems is continually evident, with the CTM800 being one of three mobile units currently being developed for the aggregates, wood pellets and agricultural sectors.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
