Wash Down capabilities 

 

Clean ability  and resistance to continuous wash 
down  is  one  of  the  main  characteristic  of  this 
machine. 

 
 
Hygiene Design. 

 

 

Avoidance of contact between extended flat surfaces. 

 

No closed cavities which can trap water and dirt. 

 

No sensors below travelling plane.  

 

Reduction of exposed nuts and bolts to increase easy cleanable surface. 

 

One main electrical cabinet and one main mechanical cabinet.  

 

Food grade materials. 

 

 

Stainless steel for main body. 

 

Anodised aluminium tool. 

 

Belts in polyurethane. 

 

IP Rate. 

 

 

IP 65 mechanical cabinet. 

 

IP 65 electrical cabinet. 

 

IP 65 pneumatic and services cabinet. 

 

IP 67 control panel. 

 

IP 67 control switches. 

 

IP 67 photo eyes with quick release for quick substitution 

 

IP 67 proximity sensors with quick release for quick substitution. 

 

Operations. 

 

Start, Stop, Reset, are simply controlled with standard and user friendly switches. All other settings 
are  controlled  via  panel  control.  In  this  way  the  operators  are  free  to  use  the  machine  without  the 
risk of changing parameters which can jeopardize the efficiency.  The list of parameters which are 
menu driven are: 

 

Sealing Temperature. 

 

Sealing Time. 

 

Vacuum Time (optional). 

 

Gas Time (optional). 

 

Film Unwinding Speed. 

 

Length of film, by time. 

 
All previous parameters are stored into recipes to allow an easy and fast change over. Increased list 
of parameters are due for automatic lines.
