"Growing interest in Europe in display bags to replace rigid packaging, so reducing packaging weight and pack footprint, has driven demand for faster and more productive machinery," says PFM sales and operations director Chris Bolton. "PFM's response has been to develop the new PFM Solaris, to give output 50100% higher than existing machinery."
Capable of producing 100 block bottom bags or 90 PFM Steelo four-side-seal packs a minute, the new Solaris is equipped with a new design of lightweight, long dwell box motion sealing jaw able to reciprocate at elevated speeds without risk of vibration.
Maximum speed on conventional pillow packs is over 200 a minute while, on all styles of bag, seal integrity is assured by control software that provides a constant sealing time, irrespective of overall speed.
