Automatic vertical FFS machine for packaging up to 12.000 suppositories/ovules per hour in cavities made of aluminum (cold forming process) or plastic (thermoforming process).

The SAAS 6 AP is a robust machine, designed to achieve high production rate, low noise levels, safe and hygienic performances. The machine is equipped with a PLC and a PC, from which all machine functions are controlled and monitored.

> Optimized process allowing no waste during production and in case of machine stop;

> Cavity forming station set for aluminum foil (by cold forming: punch and matrix system) or for plastic films (by thermoforming); the forming stations for aluminum foil and for plastic films are modular and easily interchangeable;

> Sealing of the two films, in aluminum or plastic material: this method perfectly copies the profile of the cavity, ensuring uniform sealing, thus determining consistency in the “peeling-off” force to open the package;

> The product is filled into the container by a volumetric filling pump. The filling volume is automatically set through HMI;

> Cooling unit for product solidification, available in 1 or 2 cooling stages; the continuous suppository band is fed through a spiral path where it is cooled by filtered air on both sides, until the suppositories are perfectly solidified;

> The continuous band allows setting any number of suppositories for pack;

> Easy connection to any horizontal cartooning machine by means of the CT1 link-up unit.

> Max. Output: 12.000 suppositories/h

> Packaging materials:
– Plastic film: PVC, PVC/PE, PVC/PVDC/PE
– Aluminum foil: ALU/PE, PP/ALU/PE

>Max Ø film reel: 490 mm
>Product tank: 80 L, electrical heating, double – jacketed
>Filling volume range: 0,5 – 3,6 ml
>Cooling time: 8 – 16 min. approx.
