Rovema V/F/F/S Solutions For Rice And Other Grains
Rovema has been packaging rice for decades all over the world. Rice has been packaged in many types of packaging styles from pillow bags, and boil-in bags, to traditional bag-n-box lines, to more premium styles in flat-bottom style bags with a gable top featuring a zipper reclosure or folded and taped.
Filling
Rice is generally filled by a cup feeder or scale. ROVEMA’s VDD cup filler is a low-cost and efficient dosing solution. The cup filler can be mounted over a ROVEMA bagger for a compact and small footprint. This solution offers a single control platform via the HMI. A scale can also be used. In this case, we work with a variety of scale manufacturers to offer a turn-key solution.
Bagging
There are many different package styles Rovema can offer with our family of Vertical Form, Fill, and Seal Machines from simple pillow-style bags to flat-bottom-style bags with a shelf-ready appearance. Typical vertical bag applications for rice can utilize a variety of films such as heat-sealable laminates, LDPE, or HDPE films. Additional recloseable features can be offered such as a zipper reclosure. A contiguous motion vertical bagger can be offered for rice applications to maximize output speeds. For boil-in-bag applications, ROVEMA can integrate a film perforation unit to perforate the film before filling. In addition, we offer special jaw patterns for a “fork slot”. For customers who want to maximize shelf space or palletizing, ROVEMA offers the SBS Brick pack machine. ROVEMA can provide flat bottom style bags with the gable top trimmed just above the product level, leaving virtually no headspace or a bag top that is folded and taped. The tape then can be used as a reclosure feature. These package styles allow bags to be stacked on top of each other on the shelf and in the case.
Cartoning
ROVEMA can offer a traditional bag and box line with a horizontal cartoner. In conjunction with our cup feeders, and baggers this is a winning turn-key solution with one control platform.
Case Packing
In addition to filling and bag making, Rovema manufactures secondary automatic packaging
machinery. We can deliver a complete automatic turnkey packaging line for dosing, bag making, coding, inspection, and casing. The turnkey solution is engineering and built in one facility with a common workforce. This minimizes complication and risk for the turnkey solution. Case styles can be offered from the RSC case, trays or tray and lid applications.
