VR8 ADVANCE

FLOWPACK

Evolution of a model of proverbial reliability, robustness and flexibility, the new VR8 Advance is ready to give its best in an increasingly fast-moving, changing and uncertain marke.

It does so while remaining true to the characteristics that distinguish RGDMAPE: efficient, practical and easy-to-manage solutions to optimize the packaging process.

It has been designed to cope with challenges that many customers face when packaging their product range in mind:

• Frequent changes in the requirements of packaging configurations

• Increasing pressure on profit margins

• The growing and sometimes confusing demand to reduce packaging or use sustainable solutions

And for that VR8 Advance includes enhancements that further extend the machine’s capabilities in terms of product format and packaging speed. Solutions have been introduced that further simplify changeover, reduce overall downtime and minimize film consumption, while ensuring excellent compatibility with sustainable materials.
All this to increase the efficiency of the packaging process with, in addition, the possibility to easily customize the machine to specific customer needs.

features

Expandable coil holder, speeds up the change of film reel when they run out. It includes a coil centering tuning by means of a front handwheel.
Motorized coil holder, controls the unwinding of the film optimizing the longitudinal welding, both with very thin films, heavy reels and/or non-uniform products of variable height.
Universal film forming tunnel, to adapt to any format, allowing the width and height of the bag to be adjusted on demand.Position adjustment of the group by means of handwheels. Position measurement of each movement with numerical counter. Totally free opening under the film guide fins to make the bag configuration adjustment easier and faster for the operator.
Removable pushers for quick replacement and/or format change,guaranteeing its anchorage
Legs with wheels, for easy movement in case of relocation.
Three couples of sealing wheels with pressure system perpendicular to the teeth with regulation through handwheels. It optimizes the longitudinal sealing of the bag even when using different types of film and thicknesses. Wheels diameter 120 mm, to guarantee perfect sealing.. Easy, safe and efficient film insertion system with open guards,
Synoptic light, easy to see and intuitive light signal to know immediately the status of the machine according to the colour of the ignition
Accompanying rollers in the head-cutter make it easier to pass the product through the sealing jaws, avoiding jolts and possible product spillage.
Sealing jaw width of 350mm, allowing for greater format capacity.
Storable bag length and pusher head-cutter phase for quick and easy format changeovers.
Speed can be memorised in each recipe, for easy format changeover.
Stop in phase, avoids overheating of the film and the consequent possible deterioration of the seals in the event of a prolonged temporary stop.
Immediate retraction of the jaws in the event of entrapment, facilitates product evacuation and preserves the mechanics of the head.
Jaw release with push button, for precise and efficient resetting in the event of entrapment.
Control panel with 10-inch color touch screen, allows quick format changeover and intuitive management of all the machine parameterisation options.
Real-time diagnostics, displaying the machine’s operating status on the screen, to quickly locate any anomalies.Includes quick reference guide to the instruction manual.
Instantaneous speed reducer, to facilitate the operation of the machine in situations that require lowering the packaging speed and optimising times.
Storable temperatures for each recipe, to facilitate and make the format change even faster..Incluye alarma control temperaturas, en caso de fallo en temperaturas paraliza la maquina para evitar bolsas no selladas.Includes temperature control alarm that stops the machine to avoid unsealed bags, in case of temperature failure.
Preventive maintenance warnings, to warn of the appropriate time for an overhaul.

options

The VR8 Advance can be customised with multiple accessories to increase efficiency based on customer needs and/or product requirements.

Some of the accessories are:

Empty bag control system with possibility to select one of the two working modes:no product-no bag, the machine waits when there is no product and starts by itself when it arrives or stop no product: it stops the machine when there is no product and once it has been replenished the operator starts the machine. It saves film by avoiding empty bags due to lack of product.
Misplaced product system, avoids product entrapment in case of misalignment with respect to the cutting and welding jaws.
Remote assistance connection, for program updates and remote machine monitoring.
Data transfer to platform, including statistical monitoring of machine productivity, maintenance monitoring, and other customer-customized data.
Photo-eye system for registered film, allowing the use of films printed with marks to centre the design on the product.
Second reel holder, for easy availability of a reel of the same size or of a different format, speeding up replacement.
Automatic reel changeover, allowing work to continue without interruption due to the termination of a film reel, achieving maximum efficiency.
Accompanying brushes system , to accompany the product and ensure its stability during the packaging phase.
Stop no Film , stops the machine automatically if the film reel runs out.
Extension of the infeed conveyor to provide more space in the loading area to accommodate more operators and thus achieve a higher speed.
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 print or apply labels on the finished pack or directly on the film before forming.
Rotary table, positioned at the exit of the flow-wrapper, receives the products already packed 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.
Automatic loaders, customised for every circumstance and need.
