The Interceptor is a product handling machine that uses a rotor vane system to drop products – typically 113 gm (4 oz) or heavier bags of food – into the PIC (Product Infeed Conveyor) flights of endload cartoners.
The Interceptor is designed to have bags deposited directly onto its infeed conveyor by a bagmaker. It talks to the cartoner and the bagmaker to properly adjust phasing and drop timing.
