Belco Packaging Systems, Inc. has recently completed the purchase of machine rights for the MAXX 5 Bag Top Sealer-Labeler from American Design and Packaging located in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
Production, technical assistance, parts and sales support will be moved to Belco’s corporate headquarters in Monrovia, Ca. beginning in September, 2007. Machines will become available late September, 2007 for delivery.

The MAXX 5 Bag Top Sealer-Labeler is a completely new machine designed with the operator in mind. Filled bags are hand fed into the machine with one smooth motion. Bags are labeled, hermetically sealed, hole punched and returned to the operator, all in less than one second. 
A new header label is then automatically transferred from the magazine to the sealing position, signaling the machine is ready for the next cycle.
The MAXX 5 replaces the manual operation of bag sealing and stapling a header to a bag as well as providing an inexpensive header label for pre-filled and sealed bags made on automatic weigh scale systems. Average production rates are 27-29 packages per minute up to 35 ppm maximum.
