Pro Mach introduces INV Pack Sachet and Stickpack Fillers
The Pro Mach Flexible Packaging Group (promachflexible.com) introduces the INV Pack MVA900 four-side sachet machine and the SP1200 stickpack machine with innovative modifications for high throughput packaging of peanut butter, stick cheese and other high viscosity hot and warm fill foods.
A servo controlled pump gives these machines the capability to quickly and accurately adjust pressure for different viscosity foods. This gives the plant greater flexibility in the range of foods packaged. A new recirculation system for the heated, jacketed hopper maintains specified viscosity during production interruptions caused by downstream equipment. Recirculation eliminates the necessity of having to engage in time consuming cleaning of the hopper after routine line stoppages. Fast startup of sachet and stickpack machines increases throughput and overall equipment effectiveness.
