Conclusion
When analyzing the client’s requirements, specifically requesting a machine to pack Pillow bags in a small space and in a frozen and humid environment, the solution was proposed using the Maxpack machine of the MFT-S 420 series that has the capacity, speed and dimensions to handle customer product presentations and meet the specific requirement to enter a compact space.
The machine met the project requirements and more. The Maxpack MFT-S420 and the multi-head units are highly flexible, allowing quick format changes and easy access for cleaning.
A 14-head Maxpack multihead was proposed for the product dosing system. This equipment provides precision in the packaging of frozen and wet products that, due to their different weight and volume characteristics of each unit, demand packaging in an exact weight within the ranges required by the customer. In addition, the equipment is configured so that it can work in this type of humid environment.
