(Editor's note: In the two weeks leading up to PACK EXPO International 2016, Food Manufacturing is previewing some of the products that will be on display at the annual show.)
The BVC 260 VFFS Bagging Machine, a continuous motion, dual-axis servo packaging machine, is capable of running up to 210 cycles per minute at a maximum forming width of 260mm. Equipped with real-time control technology that is fully programmable and highly user-friendly, the BVC 260 is highly flexible in terms of the sizes and styles of bags it can produce, which include pillow, flat-bottom, Stabilo (quad-seal), stand-ups, zipper recloseable and more. It offers energy efficiency as well as flexibility — especially in its wide range of compatible packaging material, high process reliability and minimization of downtimes in the high power range. The BVC 260 is equipped with Rovema’s innovative “Premium-Seal” system. Premium-Seal offers the option to pre-heat and then compress multilayered seal seam packing material for optimum tightness. Developed by Rovema specifically for the BVC Series, the versatile, programmable and sensitive sealing technology can be used for other applications as well. The BVC Series incorporates a patented “Sense and Seal” quality control solution that determines, for example, if product is present in the cross seal area and, if so, discharges the bag without the application of sealing pressure. The intelligent system thus prevents any excess product from being accidentally sealed in the seal area which, in addition to causing immediate product defects, could also decrease sealing tool efficiency and life expectancy.
