A new production line has been installed for one of our customers, a major player in the meat industry. This installation incorporates a complete and innovative solution, including a new-generation SEV210 vertical bagging machine in stainless steel design, combined with a set of conveyors.
Automation of the Pellet Line
As part of this project, the main requirement was to automate the pellet production line. To meet this requirement, a solution was designed to mechanise this line. A prototype was first developed in our workshops, then tested at the customer's premises, resulting in the creation of an innovative vertical cartoner.
The SEV210 vertical bagging machine is a key element of this installation. It stands out for its ability to optimise weighing accuracy and bagging reliability.
It is combined with a set of conveyors to take the pillow bags to two types of packaging: a transfer to case packing and a direct transfer to case packing.
Equipped with a cantilevered double reel holder for pre-zipped polyethylene films, it makes loading reels easier and optimises format changeover time.
It incorporates a rapid, interchangeable double sealing system, with an impulse version for polyethylene film and a thermal version for thermo-sealing film.
The pre-forming principle rapidly evacuates as much air as possible from the bag, making it easier to insert into the vertical case. The ergonomic design of the bagging machine in its lowered position also makes it easier to clean and dismantle the tube.
L'cartoner vertical ET303RVIt operates with an intermittent movement. This design provides reliability and flexibility, guarantees precise squaring and safe product infeed. Mechanical transmissions are reduced and loads lightened.
This machine has been ergonomically designed to facilitate operator access to settings, format changes and machine operation.
The cartons are filled using a simple, reliable gravity system.
This new cartoner isn't just for the meat industry. It is also perfect for a variety of products such as nuggets, chocolate truffles, dishwasher tablets, etc. Its innovative design allows top filling, ideal for sachets containing several products.
Together, these machines form a perfect synergy, ensuring the reliability and flexibility of your primary and secondary packaging end-of-line.
The exit station has been redesigned to increase the machine's flexibility and efficiency. One remarkable feature is the 'bypass' function: when the customer does not wish to use cartons, a 'bypass' function is activated. retractable conveyordesigned by PACTISOUDis put in place. In this way, the bags leave the bagging machine, pass through weight control and metal detection, pass through the cartoner without being inserted into a case, and arrive at the manual crating station.
