Innovation-packed pouch machine from R.A. Jones has combined unique sealing
technology with production proven filling systems to provide the industry`s most versatile continuous motion, high-speed platform.

December, 2004 -The Pouch King continuous motion horizontal form/fill/seal machine from R.A. Jones & Co. Inc. builds on its ``best-in-class`` productivity and ergonomics with a continuing development program at Jones to further separate the Pouch King from its` competition.

The Jones sealing system provides a highly consistent temperature profile along the vertical seal to ensure a high-quality side seal. This innovative sealing system controls the temperature of the seal bars very precisely, allowing thinner materials to be run, along with controlling the temperature profile to accommodate thicker materials.

The Jones design greatly speeds cool-down from weld temperature which minimizes lost production, then brings heaters back up to weld temperature within seconds for machine re-start. The fast-heat capability also optimizes overall line productivity for pouch machines configured as part of larger packaging systems.

The Pouch King family of machines are equipped with fully integrated servo systems using advanced motion control, electronic line shafting and SERCOS fiber optic networks, all of which eliminate complex mechanical drive systems

while providing high reliability, predictable operations and minimal maintenance.
The Pouch King features an advanced control system with color touch screen HMI, system diagnostics and servo performance monitoring with predictive (vs reactive) maintenance capabilities. Jones offers integrated motion/control systems from global sources such as Allen Bradley or Siemens/Indramat to meet the preferences of customers worldwide.

Featuring stainless steel construction, the Pouch King marries clean design concepts, with the industry`s best ergonomics and economics. The breakthrough design features easy open clear-view guarding, space-saving footprint, and ergonomic low-profile machine architecture. A 70% reduction in mechanical transmission components from alternative designs enables superior performance and value, along with a lower machine profile for ease of accessibility and cleaning.

Combine these impressive capabilities with Jones` years of experience with production proven product feed and collation systems and the result is a machine unparalleled in the industry for flexibility and economical operation.
