Standard lead time is 13-15 weeks. Standard lead times do not account for non-standard options. These are estimates, your confirmed lead time will be provided once the project is being scheduled with project management. You may also request a specific date, which we’ll confirm before you place the order. Lead times start when the PO is accepted.

If a quick, high-level budgetary quote is all you need, we are happy to provide you with the base machine rate. However, the more information you provide us about your particular application, the more accurately we can quote you. It also enables us to identify potential challenges and discuss how we can overcome them. If you are interested in a detailed quote, expect our sales managers to discuss the following questions with you.

• Case rates
• Case Style (RSC, HSC, Bliss, FOL, etc..)
• Case dimensions (LxWxD, Open Depth and KDW, Drawings are preferred)
• Tape or glue closure
• Construction type (mild steel, stainless steel, stainless with NEMA4X low-pressure washdown)
• Environment of room where equipment will be placed – Hot, cold, wet, temp
• Duty cycle (ie. 3 shifts per day 5 days per week)
• Voltage requirement
• Product inside the cases (pictures preferred)
• Estimated full case weight
• Wish list for upgrade options
• Special requirements
• Are there specifications that need to be reviewed?

If a quick, high-level budgetary quote is all you need, we are happy to provide you with the base machine rate.

It also enables us to identify potential challenges and discuss how we can overcome them. If you are interested in a detailed quote, expect our sales managers to discuss the following questions with you.

• Case and/or product rates per minute (CPM and/or PPM)
• Case dimensions (Drawings are preferred)
• Product dimensions (Drawings and/or pictures are preferred)
• Pack pattern of the product inside the case (pictures are preferred)
• Orientation of the product on the conveyor as it will be received by our system
• Elevation of the infeed product conveyor
• Construction type (mild steel, stainless steel, stainless with NEMA4X low-pressure washdown)
• Environment of room where equipment will be placed – Hot, cold, wet, temp
• Duty cycle (ie. 3 shifts per day 5 days per week)
• Changeovers frequency per shift
• Inspection or labeling requirements
• Voltage requirement
• Estimated full case weight
• Wish list for upgrade options
• Special requirements
• Are there specifications that need to be reviewed?
• AutoCAD of area in scope (required for drawing from Pearson)

If all you need is a high-level budgetary quote, we will provide you base-level machine pricing immediately. If you are looking for a more detailed quote, we will reach out to you within 24 business hours to discuss your application and collect all the necessary information. Once we collected the information, expect a detailed quote within 2-4 business days (unless your application requires non-standard options). For a firm quote, we generally like to review a sample of your case(s)/partitions/bags. This greatly reduces the risk of missing any potential obstacles and ensures that you receive not only the most accurate quote but also a high-performing machine. If your request requires a specifications response, please allow 7-10 working days for a quote turnaround.

Case samples allow us to help you avoid unforeseen challenges, determine the need for special options or recommend a different machine model better suited for your application. In nearly 65% of all projects, case sample reviews prevent costly mistakes, inferior performance and extended lead times. Here is a small sample of unwanted problems case reviews uncovered and averted:

• Samples did not match drawings, which drove a change to the proposal
• Unidentified shied flaps
• Case hand was not identified on drawings or different
• Product fit too tight or too loose into the case
• The case’s manufacturer’s joint location or style interfered with the product being loaded
• Corrugate quality issues interfering with proper machine performance
• Bag thickness/construction/size did not match the requirements
• Flap folding sequences/glue patterns requiring special attention
• Head space in cases requiring special options or over pack interfering with proper sealing

Although we’d like to review case samples before we provide a firm quote, we understand that this is not always possible. In that case, we will provide a quote based on the information and drawings you provided.

Pearson bag inserters accommodate bags up to 35 inches in width and 38 inches in length supplied on perforated roll-stock. Film thickness should be between 1.25 – 4.0 mil low or high density and the roll diameter should not exceed 14 inches. Bags must be sized to fit the case according to our Bag Size Calculator (available upon request).

The BI 18 Bag Inserter can be upgraded to a Servo model, however, this option is most useful in a post-purchase application. If you are interested in a servo-driven bag inserter, we recommend the BI25, which was designed for this purpose. Economically, it is also more favorable to choose a BI25 over a BI18 plus Servo Upgrades.

Low-pressure washdown is limited to 4.3 psi at a distance of 10 feet. It does not protect against direct hard spray or the use of caustic fluids.
