We manufacture and supply the filler MAKINATY RSTD 55® specific for Elipse® pouches:

MAKINATY RSTD 55 is an automatic filler type VFFS (Vertical Form Fill Seal) for non-fizzy liquids and viscous products. It is equipped with a single filling head and two carousels to produce self-standing pouches with a flat rectangular base.

It consists in the rear part; film unwinding level :

- A reel support with an expandable pneumatic chuck (compressed air)

- A tray to change the reel

- A tray for date printing on the film by inkjet or heat ribbon coder

- An unwinding system thanks to the motorized and tension rollers to control the speed and pulling of the film

In the central part; conditioning and injection level:

- A 316L SS injection tube wrapped with a forming structure and fitted with a filling rod controlled by an actuator for flow regulation (Bürkert type).

- A pulling film system through two rubber belts fitted on each side of the forming structure and driven by brushless engines.

- An electric photocell to detect the spot on the film, at the level of tube nozzle.

- A mechanical vertical jaw to seal continuously the overlap of the film.

- A pneumatical balancing horizontal jaw fitted with a central mechanical cut to seal and cut the filled pouches.

In the front part: shaping of the pouches base :

- Two carousels, one on the right side (fixed) and one on the left side (mobile). Both carousels are

fitted with a rotary system of arm clips to maintain the pouches at the top and shape their base.

Then the pouches are put in upright position on the exit conveying belt.

- Both the shaping and the sealing of the pouches bottom are located in the filler axis between the

two carousels

WORKING PROCESS MAKINATY RSTD 55 :

The loading of pre-formed rolls is made manually or with a lifting device.

The unwinding system is made by a rubber belt system driven by a brushless motor and controlled by a photocell reading the eye mark printed on the film.

The shaping is made by impulsion thanks to a vertical electrode, provides an uninterrupted longitudinal and airtight seal

The filling is made by a filling tube with a pneumatic actuator, controlled by the plc. For some specific products, the injection may be alternative and the feeding can be made through a volumetric pump or a dosing system. If a hot filling is required, the machine is fitted with a double wall filling tube and, if necessary, with adapted pump or dosing system. In this case, a nitrogen gas injection can be made by an additional filling tube.

The jaw is alternatively rotating from the right side to the left side, it presses the film and seals and cut the pouch longitudinally. One pouch is then released after each tilt and it is simultaneously griped by the arm clip. Then, the triangular pouch topples in upright position, thanks to the gravity.

The arm clip slowly conveys the pouch to the last stage of shaping and sealing the pouch bases. It puts them above an anvil that lifts and presses the bases, while the side flaps drain and seal the bottom corners. The next step is when the base corners are overlapped and sealed together. Then the pouch is put in upright position on the exit conveying belt.
