The new VERUS intermittent vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machine, featuring an advanced hygienic design, READ MORE combines proven state-of-the-art servo technology and valuable customer-driven features to produce a wide range of bag formats efficiently including stand-up, sizes and shapes, sealing a range of polyethylene and/or heat-seal materials. Customer benefits include quick bag format changeovers and speeds of up to 110 bags per minute. The VERUS will be shown operating under a gantry-mounted multi-head weigher.
The Rose Forgrove stainless version MERLIN BLU flow wrapper is innovatively engineered with an easy-to-clean design and several tool-free removal features, making it suitable for a wide range of challenging industries, such as frozen and wet products. The hygienic features of the MERLIN BLU include sloped surfaces and rounded legs minimising debris build-up. The easy-to- clean features are matched by technical highlights of “no product-no bag”, which minimises film waste, “misplaced product” detection and the intuitive, icon-based HMI which facilitates quick, repeatable changeovers. The new transparent guard design provides operators with a clear view of the whole wrapping process. The wrapping speed for the Rose Forgrove MERLIN BLU is 100 (single jaw) to 200 (twin jaw) packs per minute, and the pack range is up to 120 mm high by 300 mm wide, depending on the product and film.
