RTE Breakfast Cereal Industry

Rovema Solutions For Ready To Eat Cereals

Providing a quality package and performance from your VFFS machine for Cereals requires more than just a quality VFFS machine. It requires knowledge and understanding of each of the RTE Cereals. RTE Cereals come in many Shapes, Sizes Textures, and coatings. They often come with marshmallows, fruits, raisins, nuts, or other types of ingredients mixed in. There is a high demand for high-performance unit operations requiring minimal experience to operate and maintain both are a major goal of Rovema VFFS machines we work closely with the customers and suppliers integrating the upstream and downstream equipment to enhance the overall performance of the filler and bagger as a unit operation.

Product supply provided to packaging

Best performance starts with a steady supply of product to the fillers, Be it Horizontal motion, vibratory, or belts, a steady and consistent supply of product is the beginning of a great performing line.

Combinations Scale / Volumetric Filler

This is the Heartbeat of Production. It sets the pace for the rest of the packaging line to follow.

Select the best scale configuration for your product:

High Speed (small bucket steep angled high-speed chutes)
Medium Speed (larger buckets with Standard Angled chutes)
Gentle Handling (Delicate fragile products)
Don’t forget the best methods for handling stick products and address product build-up on
the pans
Addressing dust and fines at the beginning helps the rest of the line perform better

Pick the Right Transitions

Small inlet funnels keep the charge from expanding outward traveling from one transition to another and maintaining a falling speed
Steep angles keep the charge focused and minimize swirling
Integrated forming set / funnels minimize change parts and speed changeovers
Bias-cut funnels increase speeds and minimize bridging

Choose the right forming set

Smooth, Dimpled Stainless Steel shoulders are options to choose from
There are various coatings that can be applied to extend shoulder wear
Epoxy shoulders can be an alternative
Integrated Funnel / Transition are options
Shoulder angles can be modified for special needs and difficult films
Round, Oval, Square, and other shapes are available for those with special needs
Snack tube / open back former are helpful with very small former and bridging problems
Optional swing gates at the bottom of the forming tube can protect films from sharp and hard products
Product clam shells can be used to slow product down
