With the new VVI-200, Rovema has further developed the scope of the Vertical Form, Fill and Seal technology.

Advantages

  • Automatic Format changes with the push of a button
  • Flexible format range, without format size changes. Pouch widths from 50 – 200 mm (1 31/32 – 7 7/8“) and pouch height of 80 – 250 mm (3 5/32 – 9 5/6”)
  • Compact design, the footprint of the VVI is considerably less than the one of a horizontal machine
  • Speeds up to 100 pouches per minute on a single machine.
    Minimal downtime during product change
  • Highest quality pouches due to its optimized design
  • Reduced packaging costs are achieved by utilizing thinner heat sealable film structures (20 – 120µm)

Features
The VVI-200 system, with 10 patents, combines the traditional applications of a horizontal machine as well as the advantages offered by vertical, form, fill and seal equipment.

The enclosed system allows for the dust-free packaging of products as well as for the optional gas flushing with a residual oxygen content of < 1%
The standard vacuum assisted draw down belts, ensures a good material transport with films thicker than 20µm. Therefore, the machine can handle thin film structures without any problems.

Programmable sealing times and the patented, wear-free cross sealing jaws with a sealing pressure of up to 5,000 N provides the highest pouch quality.

The automatic format change by a button enables the effective production of different pouch dimensions without any tooling requirements. Down time during product changeover is minimized, dosing screws can be removed for cleaning without dismantling the forming set.

With a space requirement of approximately 17 ft2 and a height of approximately 5 ft, the possibility of adding splicing units, printers, labelers, zipper applicators, etc. is possible without adding excessive footprint to the machine.

The VVI-200 performs with a speed of up to 100 pouches per minute on a simplex execution. Additionally, two baggers can be set in place, while maintaining original system controls, for higher productivity.
