Schib CO50TG Flow Wrapper Provides Friulana Panini with Increased Speeds
Jun 21, 2017
We have recently installed one of our latest Schib CO50 TG machines at FRIULANA PANINI in Italy, a leading company in producing and packaging sandwiches,tramezzino sandwiches and pizza for the food service industry, including the hotel and catering industry and the vending machines market.
The company is located in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. It has been in the market for more than 40 years and prides itself on its fresh, genuine products which are widely distributed in Northern Italy daily, beginning at dawn.
In compliance with customer’s specifications, this packaging machine featuring faster box motion HFFS technology, is running sandwiches and tramezzino sandwiches at up to 55 per minute, but we have also successfully tested it at up to 75 packs/min (30% faster than our previous CO 50 TG model).
The machine is fully servo-driven, featuring multi-axis drive technology with as many as 5 independent brushless motors, in order to control the infeed conveyor, the belt before the sealing bars, the sealing wheels, the box motion as well as the closing of the sealing bars.
The box motion system is ideal for modified atmosphere packaging, and can deliver high integrity seals if used in conjunction with MAP barrier films. This makes the machine suitable for products that require hermetic sealing such as in gas flush applications.
In any case, the Schib CO50 TG flow wrapper is capable of handling packaging materials that include polypropylene, laminated foil, and barrier films.
The machine is equipped with many options, including reel run-out detection, motorised film pre-feed, pre-printed film registration and gas flush kit (gas lance and valve). Remote diagnostics and troubleshooting are possible with the state-of-the-art remote service device.
Mr. Gian Andrea Molaro, Chairman of Friulana Panini says “We are delighted with our Schib CO50 TG flow wrapper. It is reliable, efficient, easy to operate and to clean. Moreover, we have particularly appreciated the ease of its 7” touch screen mounted on a swivel arm. The machine preserves the freshness of our premium quality sandwiches perfectly. We aim to increase our production capacity in the future and we know that the machine will be able to support our growth with speeds up to 75 packs per minute.”
