PFM DX fills 480 pouches per minute
PFM DX-series pouch machine
Pouch machines have either been capable of producing a variety of pouch formats at speeds limited to 50-100 pouches per minute, or if the requirement calls for faster speeds the machines are limited to a fixed format.
The key to the machine’s combination of very high speed and flexibility is the integration of the XTS (eXtended Transport System) produced by Beckhoff Automation.
The DX enables groups of pouches to be buffered, tripling available filling time and maximising production speed. Intermittent motion is maintained with maximum format widths up to 240mm (9.45”).
“Servo-everything” makes format changes a breeze,” according to PRM packing expert Cristobal Jorge.
The XTS transport is complemented by PFM’s automated format change in the pouch forming module. The DX can produce a wide variety of pouch styles: 3 or 4 side seal, stand-up and shaped pouches, the same machine can even be equipped with regular knives and full-shape dies which can be selected from the HMI. The usual pouch options are all available: zip, valves, tear notches, hang holes, inert gas etc.
