The bagging of small batches of bulk goods as well as the economical handling of irregularly placed orders describes the spectrum of the RUBIN FFS bagging system from Windmöller & Hölscher.
The German based engineering company will demonstrate the compact design the RUBIN bagging system in hall 3.0 at this year's ACHEMA, May 11 — 15, Frankfurt, Germany.
The new form-fill-seal system is designed to handle free-flowing products including salts, special sands, plastic resins, fertilizers, wood pellets, animal feed and pet food, or fine chemicals with perfect reliability.
Maximum bagging speed is 400 bags/h.
Equipped with state-of-the-art drive and control technology, the RUBIN excels with reliable operation and maximum ease of handling.
An intuitively operated touchscreen panel allows the operator to change the filling weight or bag dimensions without changing any parts.
When running repeat orders, the appropriate job parameters such as welding time, welding temperature and filling weight can be easily and quickly retrieved from the machine's recipe memory.
Despite the integrated electrical cabinets, the new RUBIN features an extraordinarily compact design.
Its low construction height is the result of the integrated gross weighing system.
The RUBIN comes completely assembled with integrated safety enclosures, unwind, outfeed conveyor, and electrical cabinets — pretested and ready for hook-up.
The only thing left to be done at the filling plant is to connect the machine to the on site power and compressed air system and to organise product feeding as well as removal of the filled sacks from the machine.
Featuring components that have proved to perform with maximum reliability in many hundred W&H FFS systems in use world-wide, the RUBIN is the ideal piece of equipment also for filling operations that want to shift from manual to automatic bagging.
Where more diversified applications are involved, a number of optional attachments are available, including traversing means allowing the machine to be moved to varying locations of use, mitred corner sealing capability to ensure no product is left in the bag after emptying, and a print mark scanner to allow pattern printed film to be handled.
Windmöller & Hölscher is an internationally leading manufacturer of machinery and equipment for the flexible packaging industry, with a product spectrum encompassing blown and cast film lines, flexographic and gravure printing presses as well as finishing machines, multiwall equipment, plastic sack, bag and carrier bag making machines, form-fill-seal (FFS) packaging systems and machinery for the conversion of woven film.
