Food safety isn't a category you have the luxury of just glancing over, so what technologies are available for [Rovema equipment](https://www.rovema-na.com/primary-and-secondary-packaging-machinery) that allow for consistent and efficient washdowns and changeovers? ### Automated Wet Cleaning for Auger Fillers   Rovema's chemical-free automated washdown system available on our range of [auger dosers ](https://www.rovema-na.com/overall-machine/auger-filler-machines-sdh-sdx)allows users to reduce their downtime spent cleaning and drying the filling component by 89%. The four-step process displayed in the video above of pre-rinsing, flooding, rinsing, and drying, is automated and not only safer for your customers but your operators as well. Even though it's chemical-free, it's advantageous as the components inside of the auger move as normal as the washing cycle happens, making sure no spot is missed. ### Split Door Hopper- Accessibility that Comes Standard ![SDH-Auger Doser for maximum food safety and hygiene](https://www.rovema-na.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SDH-2011---offen_klein_interpoliert.png?width=285&name=SDH-2011---offen_klein_interpoliert.png)Another auger filler feature is the high level of accessibility for your maintenance and operations teams. Getting into a typical auger filler has always been a pain but for Rovema augers, they come standard with a split door hopper that opens up 180 degrees. The hopper also comes standard with a window, allowing operators to easily monitor product levels inside.   ### Premium Seal® Technology for Maximum Seal Integrity Many common issues that producers experience with seal integrity, like the film running off-center or product getting caught in the seal, are thankfully visible to the human eye or pulled by leak detection technology.  ![Premium Seal technology allows for hygienic food packaging to consumers](https://www.rovema-na.com/hs-fs/hubfs/premiumseal-2.png?width=408&name=premiumseal-2.png) But for some film types like metalized film, the sealing process can cause micro-leakers in the edges of the film that compromise the shelf life of the product and make for unhappy consumers.  Rovema's Premium Seal ® process uses two sealing pressures in each cycle, allowing the jaws to preheat the film prior to applying full force, preventing these micro-leakers.  Rovema machine seal integrity, strength, and safety are unmatched in the VFFS industry.

That's a given. We've built our ongoing support program around a few simple principles: - If your machine is still running you should still be able to get parts and service, no matter how old it is. - When you call, we should have a knowledgeable technician available to help. - Retrofits are a normal part of business - not a distraction.

We've put together a buyer's comparison worksheet that you can use to kick the tires on several vendors- and we went ahead and filled in our part for you.  [Learn More about Our VFFS Machine Comparison Chart](https://www.rovema-na.com/vertical-form-fill-seal-machine-comparison-matrix) ![BVC_145_TwinTube_equipped_with_Premium_Seal_Technology](https://www.rovema-na.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BVC_145_TwinTube_CMYK%20(1).jpg?width=2483&name=BVC_145_TwinTube_CMYK%20(1).jpg) ## BVC Family of VFFS Machines Our VFFS machine solutions cover a wide span of product-specific model types from liquid products, frozen products, and basic products like snacks.  Other BVC models are built to maximize the flexibility of package styles or film materials with tool-less changeover from a simple pillow bag to a [RoPack® doy-style stand up pouch.](https://www.rovema-na.com/stand-up-pouch-packaging-trends-webinar) They have one thing in common- they can be equipped, and often come standard regardless, with every technology above.

We are intentional about making new innovations available as often as possible for older Rovema Machines.** **The only time you should have to shop for a new VFFS machine, is when the new technologies are too drastic to be retrofitted to your existing one, but make purchasing a new machine worthwhile. ** **[You can learn more about replace vs rebuild considerations here.](https://www.rovema-na.com/blog/maintain-rebuild-or-replace-making-the-right-choice-for-your-vffs)** ![OA-checklist-image compressed](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/480468/hubfs/5._Page_Images/OA-checklist-image%20compressed.png?width=1067&height=1104&name=OA-checklist-image%20compressed.png) [![Rovema_SustainablePackagingSolution (1) (1)-1](https://www.rovema-na.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Rovema_SustainablePackagingSolution%20(1)%20(1)-1.png?width=200&height=187&name=Rovema_SustainablePackagingSolution%20(1)%20(1)-1.png "Rovema_SustainablePackagingSolution (1) (1)-1")](https://rovema-na.com/) - [Why Rovema](https://www.rovema-na.com/about-rovema-north-america) - [Who We Work With](https://www.rovema-na.com/vertical-bagging-systems-for-different-industries) - [People We Help](https://www.rovema-na.com/vertical-bagging-inslights-for-your-whole-team-production-procurement-marketing-maintenance-finance) - [VFFS](https://www.rovema-na.com/vertical-form-fill-seal-machine-vffs) - [Machines](https://www.rovema-na.com/primary-and-secondary-packaging-machinery) - [Lifecycle Services](https://www.rovema-na.com/service-and-support) ###### [About](https://www.rovema-na.com/about-rovema-north-america) - [Sustainability](https://www.rovema-na.com/sustainability) - [News](https://www.rovema-na.com/news) - [Events](https://www.rovema-na.com/events) - [Financial](https://www.rovema-na.com/blog/profitability-vs-financial-resilience-13-questions-vffs-packaging-machinery-vendor) - [Resources](https://www.rovema-na.com/vertical-bagging-industry-resources-tech-tips-and-more-from-rovema) - [Team](https://www.rovema-na.com/rovema-our-team) ###### [Legal](https://www.rovema-na.com/data-privacy-policy-and-terms-of-website-use) - [Compliance](https://www.rovema.com/en/compliance/) - [General Terms and Conditions](https://www.rovema-na.com/terms-and-conditions-for-the-purchase-of-goods-and-services) - [LCS Terms and Conditions](https://www.rovema-na.com/terms-and-conditions-service) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.rovema-na.com/data-privacy-policy-and-terms-of-website-use) - [Terms of Website Use](https://www.rovema-na.com/terms-of-website-use) ###### [Service & Support](https://www.rovema-na.com/service-and-support) - [Lifecycle Services](https://www.rovema-na.com/service-and-support) - [Parts](https://www.rovema-na.com/service-and-support) - [Create a Ticket](https://www.rovema-na.com/service-and-support) - [Download a Manual](https://www.rovema-na.com/rovema-packaging-equipment-operators-manual-download) - [Technical Resources](https://www.rovema-na.com/vertical-bagging-industry-resources-tech-tips-and-more-from-rovema) ###### [Contact](https://www.rovema-na.com/contact-us) * “Good employees that are easily accessible.
