VR4 Elektra-S

FLOWPACK

VR4 Elektra “S” is a special version of the model from which it derives, specifically designed to pack products without tray or support, arranged in one or two rows.

In particular, it is equipped with a special conveyor, fitted with a system of flexible mats that allow it to control and protect the product from the moment it is placed until it reaches the sealing area.

From here, a system of soft brushes picks up the product and keeps it stable while it is being packaged.

Thanks to these features VR 4 Elektra S makes it possible to create trayless packs, guaranteeing a mono-material solution (only the packaging film) and significant savings in packaging material and costs.

It works well with a variety of packaging materials, including recyclables, biodegradable, compostable and paper films that the market demands with a view to environmental sustainability.

For these reasons, the VR 4 Elektra S stands as an ideal solution to the need to reduce the environmental impact of packaging while ensuring product preservation and presentation.

Storable bag lengthandpusher head-cutterphasefor quick and easy format changeovers.
Stop in phase, avoids overheating of the film in case of prolonged stop, preserving the seals.
Immediate jaw retraction in case of jamming, facilitates product evacuation and preserves the head-cutter mechanics.
Jaw release with push button, for precise and efficient resetting in the event of entrapment.
Universal forming tunnel, to adapt to any format, allowing the width and height of the bag to be adjusted on demand.
Self-centring reel holder, regardless of the reel width used, the film is always centred without the need for any adjustment.
Progressive reel brake, as the film reel is consumed, the brake is automatically changed so that the operator does not have to worry about it.
Control panel with colour touch screen, allowing quick format changeover and intuitive management of all the machine parameterisation options.
Three pairs sealing wheelsguarantee a better result in longitudinal bag sealing.
Instantaneous speed reducer, to facilitate machine operation in situations that require lower packaging speed and optimise times.
Preventive maintenance warnings, to warn of the appropriate moment for an overhaul.

options

VR4 Elektra S can be customised with multiple accessories to increase efficiency based on customer needs and/or product requirements.

Some of the accessories are:

Stop no Film , stops the machine automatically if the film reel runs out.
Photo-eye system for registered film, allowing the use of films printed with marks to centre the design on the product.
Second reel holder, to have a reel of the same size or of another format readily available, speeding up replacement.
Printers/Markers, to print information such as batch number, production/expiration date or barcodes and images directly onto the film in real time.
Labellers, to apply and print labels on the finished pack or directly on the film before forming.
Accumulation rotary table, placed at the exit of the flow-wrapper, receives the already packaged products to facilitate successive packaging operations.
Inverse version, with product loading from left to right to adapt to the available space or to integrated production lines.
Stop no product, temporarily stops the machine when product has not been loaded on the in-feed conveyor
