Rovema Upgrades

The film edge control is essential for a precise and trouble-free film run. It ensures that the film stays in its position and is sealed properly. However, experience shows that the adjustment of the light conductors is time-consuming and that, now and then, these parts break during format changes.

The new ROVEMA adjustment unit for the film edge control simplifies format changes, eliminates disturbance sources, and saves unnecessary procurement costs for replacement parts. Thanks to the separate mounting and support, the fixing to the forming shoulder becomes redundant, and the digital indicator optimizes and facilitates the adjustment.

ROVEMA has developed a universally usable alignment tool as a useful aid for the machine types VPR 250, VPK 260, and BVK 260. It consists of two clamps, one for each side, for the fixation of the front and rear drive shaft. This avoids a shifting of the toothed belts during the fitting and tensioning process and optimally aligns the unit for the subsequent installation of the sealing tools. This provides a considerable saving of time during the alignment and helps to preventively avoid serious damage to the sealing tools caused by incorrectly adjusted belts.

Based on experience, we know that especially components of older machine types potentially involve a risk regarding delivery time (8-10 weeks) and availability. These components are produced in gradually decreasing batches at increasing cost, which considerably influences price stability. Against this background and due to the decrease in demand during the past years, we decided to cease the constant stockpiling of the clutch for the film drive of MVP/VPM machines (used up until approx. 20 years ago) after selling the current inventory.

For an optimal transition of the film into the forming shoulder without creases and cracks, the correct feeding angle of the film is important. This applies especially to demanding films. However, the fine-tuning after format changes consumes time and labor due to limited access to the adjusting points at the machine.

With the comfort angle film feed adjustment unit, format changes and required fine tuning can be carried out much more easily and faster. The adjusting wheels with gauges for the roller position and the inclination angle stick out, are therefore easily accessible and enable the reproducible adjustment of the unit in no time at all.

The film in form, fill, and seal machines is subject to friction and sliding effects, which can lead to a high electrostatic charge. Besides composite films with metallized components or aluminium, this mainly affects films with a high portion of plastic, e.g., OPP, PP, and PET. Especially with dusty and powdery products, this may cause a high degree of film contamination, which can impair the sealing procedure. Moreover, the product itself (e.g. rice) can generate static charge during the filling process and thus produce this negative effect even if a less critical film is used (e.g., PE).

With the retrofit of an ionizing unit, ROVEMA offers you the possibility to counteract the static charge. Electrode rods in different positions (forming shoulder, cross sealing jaws, SBS station) create an electric field, which considerably reduces the static charge in your form, fill, and seal or SBS machine.

The more format changes you make to your VFFS machine, the higher the risk that the forming set, mainly consisting of the forming shoulder and filling tube, loses its proper setting, for example, during the transport from their storage location to the place of installation in the machine. Even a minor adjustment already leads to a lower bag quality, both optically and in terms of tightness and seal quality. However, these effects become discernible only after the production has already restarted after a format change.

The ROVEMA format adjustment assist for VFFS machines offers you the possibility to reliably detect possible discrepancies in the settings of the format support or the format tools already while fitting them in the machine and correct these accordingly.

The format adjustment aid offers you:

• shorter change over time, thanks to a high reproducibility

• always exact positioning of the format parts

• higher process reliability

The retrofit kit "format adjustment aid“ consists of:

• basic support unit

• test template according to format

• mounting material

The format adjustment aid for form, fill, and seal machines is suitable only for square format sets (Stabilo Seal® and block bottom bags) as well as for round formats (but only with block bottom bag shape). We will gladly issue an offer also for installation and commissioning on-site (duration approx.
½ day plus travel time) at your ROVEMA vertical form fill and seal machine.
