Rovema, a manufacturer of packaging machines, headquartered in Fernwald near Giessen, will be presenting a compact edge sealed packaging system for flat bottom bags with clip and the BVC vertical form, fill and seal machine for standard bag styles at FachPack 2016. High-grade confectionery and candies, premium pasta and selected legumes are increasingly packaged in flat bottom bags with a clip for reclosing. Typically the clip applicator is connected to the vertical bagger as a sepa­rate component, whereby the set performance is considerably limited.
Rovema will also be exhibiting its SBS 250 packaging system including a vertical BVC continuously working form, fill and seal machine and the integrated clip applicator. The complete operation of both components is done by the machine control ­Rovema P@ckControl.
The filled bags are transferred by cycle chain, which holds the bags and transfers them safely to the closing clipper. Due to the direct infeed, a set performance of up to 80 bags/minute is possible, depending on bag style and weight. The vertical form, fill and seal machine as well as the clip aggregate are very accessible so that size changes, cleaning and maintenance work can be shortened tremendously.
The packaging system allows the handling of nearly all mono and laminated films of various thickness and is also prepared for different sealing pro­cedures such as heat sealing and impulse welding. The SBS packaging system offers high flexibility in the choice of film material as well as bag style. As the clipper is height adjust­able, it is also possible to produce long fin seals, which cannot be produced with clippers customary in the market.
Needing a space requirement of approx. 9 m² the SBS packaging system with integrated clipper is a compact solution for attractive packaging styles with clip closure.
Rovema will also be presenting in Nuremberg the BVC 260 vertical continuous form, fill and seal machine for standard bag styles like pillow bags and flat bottom bags.
