ROVEMA at Fachpack 2022: Hall 4 / booth 278
Future-proof multi-talent offers fast and reproducible recipe changeover without significant loss of performance.
ROVEMA packaging machines are designed for maximum output and highest flexibility. The established BVC series stands for vertical packaging machines of continuous operation and packs a wide variety of products quickly, efficiently and gently, e.g. in up to 210 flat bags per minute. ROVEMA places a special focus on preparing machines and lines for future packaging tasks. The use of sustainable packaging materials and the production of various bag shapes on only one machine are standard for ROVEMA. Changeover work and set-up times are continuously optimized and also checked with demanding packaging materials. The adaptation of existing machines to new, recyclable packaging materials is usually possible for the ROVEMA BVC series without major performance losses.
With a sealing force of 6000 Newton available in the standard version, the ROVEMA BVC series offers maximum flexibility in the choice of packaging material - recyclable modern mono-packaging materials based on PE or PP or classic composite packaging materials made of PET/ALU/PE can be processed. Packing material changes are quick and easy. The sealing force can be programmed as a parameter and saved as a recipe, making processes reproducible and enabling even small batches to be packaged efficiently.
At the Fachpack trade show in Nuremberg, ROVEMA is exhibiting a BVC 260 specifically for packing coffee - ground coffee, coffee beans, agglomerated or freeze-dried coffee can be processed with gentle product handling and accurate weight. For coffee applications requiring a degassing valve, the machine is equipped with the particularly high-performance new ROVEMA valve applicator for button valves. In combination with a mono-PP packaging material, the BVC 260 thus achieves an output rate of up to 70 bags per minute at a filling weight of 250 g. Packing materials from the flat film web are used, and the aroma valve is fitted in the reel carrier of the packaging machine, offering maximum flexibility at this point as well: the process allows an even wider sealing window, which can be adapted to the requirements of the particular packing material and the button valve selected. Depending on the valve or packaging material, the machine can be equipped with both ultrasonic and heat sealing. This means that an even wider range of packaging materials and valves can be selected, allowing, for example, the packaging to be tailored precisely to the recycling specifications of the market in question. It is also possible to change over to a different valve geometry or a different valve manufacturer with corresponding adaptation of the valve infeed in the course of a format change.
At the Ipack Ima trade fairs in Milan, ROVEMA is presenting a fully recyclable coffee pack with button valve that can also be conveniently retrofitted to existing BVC machines. Both valve and the packing material itself are made of a polypropylene mono-material.
For an output rate of up to 70 packs per minute, Wipf's recyclable WICOVALVE® W109PP disposable degassing valve for bean-to-cup coffee is ultrasonically applied to HATZOPOULOS’ all-PP (89my) high-barrier packaging film designed for recycling, based on the converter’s X-CYCLETM technology. A strong, sustainable partnership.
Turnkey solutions for coffee from a single source - from dosing to final packaging suitable for loading or transport optimization.

The BVC series offers intuitive, easy-to-understand operation, as well as user guidance with graphic support in the local language. Equipped with ROVEMA P@ck-Control, the BVC also ensures particularly smooth machine operation, which is achieved, for example, by adapting the movement of the sealing tools to the respective bag shape.
A wide range of equipment options allows the machine to be precisely adapted to your individual packaging task, e.g. Rovema offers for the coffee industry:
- Dosing units from own production - for ground coffee, coffee beans, agglomerated or freeze-dried coffee, packaging under protective atmosphere possible
- A dosing system that allows the filling of powder and beans alternately • Integration of multihead weighers from well-known manufacturers
ROVEMA SDH: auger doser, protective gassing possible. Convince yourself of our high-quality auger dosing system live on site in Nuremberg.
- Control valves for recipe-controlled gas quantities • Swiveling sealing tools for easy and ergonomic maintenance and cleaning.
- Servo motorized pre-winding with constant web tension, for a clean and even film run over the forming shoulder
- Ultrasonic edge control for a narrow longitudinal seam that saves packaging material
- Stabilo in the reel carrier
- Various application packages such as automatic reel change (splicer), Stabilo Seal, applicator for reclosure options or labeling systems are also available.
