The 865 is a fully automatic bag closing machine that can perform two critical packaging functions: The machine will CLOSE your bagged packages and when equipped with an optional printer, it will PRINT price, freshness dating. Printers will print information on the all-plastic closure where it is easy for the consumer to see and read information. Bag printers are often forced to overprint bag graphics, making it difficult to locate. The 865 will also apply custom printed closure-labels.

The 865’s design is one of unrivaled simplicity and functionality; capable of delivering years of dependable operation. The simplicity of design delivers a lower initial cost, low maintenance costs, very low crippled package rate, low maintenance, and low spare parts inventories.
The 865 is capable of closing a wide range of vertical and horizontal package sizes and will adapt to most automatic baggers. The unit will close all common plastic film bags, net bags and even paper bags.

Typical vertical applications include: Potatoes, Apples, Citrus, Ice, Candy and many hand feed applications.

Typical horizontal applications include: Pita bread, tortillas, meat packages, paper plates, etc.

The 865 uses a wide variety of closure sizes for closing film, net and paper bags. Closures are available in seven plastic colors.

Labels can be preprinted on the front with your customized graphics. You can preprint in any number of colors, 4-color process or spot colors.

The back is then printed by the 884 Thermal Printer in your plant with package variables such as bar codes, varieties, weights, grades, etc.

When the labels are applied to the bagged package the custom printed side will face outwards towards the consumer, with the 884 printed copy on the back (facing the package).

1011 Printer: The 1011 is an electrically operated printer that uses steel type and cold transfer printing tape yielding clear, crisp impressions on every closure. Type can be changed in seconds; one roll of tape prints up to 40,000 impressions.

872 Turbo-Print Printer: Manufactured by Squid Ink, the printer is a programmable jet ink printer.

Smart Date 2i® Printer: Manufactured by Markem Corporation, the Smart Date 2i® is a programmable thermal transfer printer capable of printing a wide variety of printing over the surface of the Kwik Lok Closure.

865A MODEL B: The Model B has an extended feed belt attachment that extends 9 inches past the front of the machine. The Model B is required on some baggers where the Model A cannot be mounted (i.e. FMC/Agri-Tech Apple Baggers)

865A MODEL C: The Model C has a bridge structure connecting the drive and idle belt side of the machine. The design allows the exit end of the machine to be completely open and unobstructed. The Model C is designed for use for light packages (small bags, candies, nuts, etc.) or have large bag necks (milk bag-in-a-box). The model is also used for products that are contained and cannot drop down (bottle-in-a-bag)

865A MODEL D: The Model D combines design elements of the Model B and Model C, having an extended feed belt and a bridge structure.

To determine the correct flow direction, visualize your packages moving away from you, towards the Kwik Lok Closing System.

If the open end of the bag is on your right hand - the flow direction is RIGHT HAND.
If the open end of the bag is on your left hand - the flow direction is LEFT HAND.

887 Model C Crank Stand: The stand is primarily used for automatically fed operations where the 865 is above an existing conveyor. The stand allows for the addition of an 1082J Bag Tensioner. Height adjustments can be quickly made by turning the crank handle. The 865 can be set at a nose upwards angle to accommodate closing heavy bulk type packages. The 865 can be rotated for maintenance.

887 Model D Crank Stand: The stand includes a conveyors, and is primarily used for automatically fed operations where the 865 is stationed alongside an existing conveyor. Height adjustments can be quickly made by turning the crank handle. The 865 can be set at a nose upwards angle to accommodate closing heavy bulk type packages. The 865 can be rotated for maintenance

887 Model E Crank Stand: The stand is primarily used for automatically fed operations where the 865 is stationed alongside an existing conveyor. Height adjustments can be quickly made by turning the crank handle.
