Save time with a fast and flexible open-mouth bagging carousel

STATEC BINDER’s CIRUPAC is a high-performance bagging carousel which is extremely reliable and accurate. It is specially designed for the packaging of flour and powdery products in pillow bags and gusset bags with a filling weight of 10 kg to 50 kg. It is ideal for filling prefabricated open mouth bags made of woven PP, PE or paper, and can achieve a maximum output of up to 1200 bags per hour.

The Open-mouth bag filling machine for powders is configured with a continuously rotating carousel. The components of the machine are connected to each other with utmost precision to ensure a seamless operation. The prefabricated bags are individually separated from the magazine by vacuum suction and are sent to the pickup station. Upon arrival to the filling spout, the bag is opened and clamped to the filling spout for the filling process. The product is then measured to the specified level and poured into the bag via an intermediate hopper.

At any given time, up to six bags can be filled via the six different filling stations housed in the carousel. The filled bags are transported to the bag sealing station, and during the time of transport the product is continuously compacted by special vibration plates. All these steps take place continuously, thus ensuring a seamless packed bag output. Its applications include powdery products such as flour, animal feed premixes or corn starch, etc.

High-performance and high flexibility

STATEC BINDER’S SYSTEM-F is a fully automatic vertical form-fill-seal packaging machine. It has a bagging capacity of about 900 bags an hour. It produces pillow bags and gusset bags with or without carrying handle and a filling weight between 5 kg and 50 kg from the flat film.

The flat film to be used for packaging the product is first inflated with the help of a forming shoulder. This process is easily carried out because the forming shoulder is laced with a low friction coating. The initial seal on the film is made by a constantly heated hot-sealing bar, which performs vertical overlapping sealing. The product to be packaged is weighed according to pre-set requirements and is poured into the film via the filling tube. The hot-sealing bar then seals the filled package on the top, while also forming a lower seal for the next flat film. The packaging system also has a built-in blade which ensures that filled bags are separated from the tube. The entire process is carried out with the shortest possible cycle times with the help of an intensive air cooling system.

The Vertical Form Seal Machine has an adjustable format set which allows different package sizes to be produced. The format or production can be changed by just one person in just a few minutes by a rotating magazine. This rotating magazine is installed directly on the machine and holds several format sets of different sizes ready at all times. Although it is primarily aimed to be used for packaging moderately free flowing products such as chemicals, it is also suitable to be used with products such as animal feed, fertilizer and salt.

Modular cut and flow pack machine for chewing gums and soft candy

The FPW5 from Theegarten Pactec is a high-speed forming, cutting and wrapping machine for products in flow packs. It has been designed specifically to handle chewing gum, hard and soft caramels, chewy candy, and toffees by mating with either rope sizing machine or extruder and cooling tunnel.

Designed for mass-production, the FPW5 is able to produce up to 1,500 pieces per minute, wrapped in either heat or cold sealed foil.

Cut product enters the wrapping assembly via sliding transport on lug chain. This makes product size changeover easy via simple lug chain and transport belt adjustments.

Wrapping foil is continuously fed thanks to an automatic splicer. This is available with or without print registration to suit your exact requirements. Other options include a date coding device, tear tape device, and label dispenser.

Foil sealing is available via a range of options to suit your requirements: a two- or three-stage longitudinal sealer suitable for cold or hot sealing; long-seam sealer; segmented cross sealing with up to 4 jaws; cross-seam sealing in longitudinal or transverse directions.

Combined folder wrapper and flow packer for multipack hard candy

The HCW4+FPC5 from Theegarten Pactec is a custom-designed high-speed wrapping machine for bottom fold wrapping of hard candies and similar products. The direct connection of a high-speed flow pack unit enables the individual products to be grouped and secondary-packaged, increasing efficiency and reducing cost.

Designed to operate at up to 1,500 pieces per minute, the HCW4+FPC5 can bottom fold products in wax paper, cellophane, polypropylene, or aluminium / coated paper. It can then flow pack grouped items using hot or cold sealed foil.

Designed for gentle handling, the machine uses the continuous motion principle to enable high-speed packing of even delicate items. Highest quality results are also ensured by the feeding system with integrated sorting station to remove sugar dust, chips, and broken pieces before wrapping.

The flow pack unit features a durable servo motor driven foil pre-draw off system. This allows accurate splicing at the print mark position at full machine speed, minimizing the amount of spliced products rejected.

The combined unit is controlled via a single touchscreen HMI and requires only one operator. The HCW4+FPC5 has been designed with excellent accessibility in all areas, facilitating operation, maintenance, and cleaning.
