The machines on show
VOLPAK SI440
The new SI-440 horizontal pouching machine (PICTURE) is the result of the company’s intense R&D work and incorporates multiple innovations in electronics, controls, etc.. aiming to be one of the most flexible and versatile horizontal machines in the packaging market today. The SI-440 perfectly adapts to various needs: from projects requiring a large production of small and medium-sized formats (from ¼ litre with production up to 200/spm), to projects that require large format packaging (up to 2 litres, liquid or solid products).
Among the multiple applications for which the new SI-440 model can be used, the cereal market is especially noteworthy, since it is probably the greatest exponent of innovation and modernisation in the packaging market. The zip-close stand-up packaging is the one that best adapts to market tendencies, since it perfectly meets the expectations of both manufacturer and consumer.
Enflex SDT-14
In the making of this machine, the engineers of ENFLEX followed two basic objectives: simplicity and total operation guarantee. The result is the STD-14, the most competitive and widely accepted entry-level horizontal Stand Up pouch machine on the market. It is a machine especially created for the Cosmetic, Food and Chemical industries.
The STD-14 has an unquestionable flexibility that allows it to also manufacture Stand Up pouches with special shapes, zipper closing systems or fitments. The STD-14 has been specially designed for applications of liquids, juices, isotonic beverages, yoghourts, etc.
ENFLEX F-14 Duplex
The F-14 and F-17 models complete ENFLEX’s range of packing machines for towelette sachets. Each one of these machines counts on two commercial versions: the simplex model that produces one sole sachet per cycle and the duplex model for the simultaneous production of two sachets.
For this line of machines, ENFLEX has developed a packaging process which consists of six phases, whereby the two principal functions are carried out in a simultaneous manner.
The machine handles two reels: one for the weaving of the towelettes and one for the plastic material of the sachet, which will later contain these.
After passing through an unwinder and being extended, cut and folded, the towelettes are introduced into the sachets and impregnated with the chosen liquid (perfume, hydrating cream, disinfectant, etc.) at the moment of the packaging into the sachets, which are subsequently sealed.
