When it comes to packaging machinery, those in the industry know that versatility and flexibility are everything. "The ability to quickly adapt to different types of products and different formats allows for a greater degree of customisation and optimisation of the production line. It also means that production downtime and operating costs are kept to a minimum, especially in these times. As a result, flexible technologies provide a significant competitive advantage," explains Fabrizio Fiumana, President of the Italian company REV Packaging Solutions.
Fiumana continues: "This is why the Vega Horizontal clip netting machine is an essential machine for the fruit and vegetable packaging market. It can be configured to meet specific requirements, with easy format conversion and no mechanical adjustments, and is designed to produce different types of packaging, from loose products such as vegetables, fruit and citrus up to 2 kg, including delicate products, as well as punnets, trays and small boxes, using extruded or woven netting, in cellulose or natural fibre. In addition, Vega can provide the packaging with a strap to act as a handle and a wineglass label, also in paper."
Fiumana adds: "But there is more. With very little effort and (almost) zero giveaway, we have created a line with Vega that is automatically powered. This is how we came up with the 6+6 combination."
The 6+6 is an ultra-gentle, hand-loaded combination weigher designed to handle all types of products, as long as they can be weighed, whether fresh, frozen, wet, dehydrated, sticky or vacuum-packed. Everything about the 6+6 is designed to ensure a very quick return on investment: waste is reduced to a minimum, the materials used are not subject to wear and tear, the machine does not require compressed air (so there is no energy consumption) and maintenance is very limited. The 6+6 also benefits from the tax advantages offered by Industry 4.0 in Italy.
Vega and 6+6 have finally been optimised to work together.
"REV offers a netting machine fed by weigher. The ad-hoc coupling ensures a perfect dialogue between the machines, always guaranteeing the best combination for dose composition in the shortest possible time. And all this with about 10 times less giveaway than with a manual scale. And, of course, a single interlocutor can provide a much more direct and effective service".
"Together, Vega and 6+6 maximise the line productivity without compromising accuracy and ensure perfect interaction between the machines," concludes Fiumana.
