High quality pre-made pouches with the SA-V machine: flexibility and easy to use
The SA-V machine has been designed to be flexible, technologically advanced, easy to use and capable of producing a wide range of high-quality pre-made pouches.
Several food packaging companies, that have chosen one of Elba machines, have found a partner that is always ready to consider the new challenges that the market offers.
Nowadays, thanks to the SA-V machine’s technology, it is possible to produce recyclable PE stand-up pouches, with materials that allow laminating and printing up to 9 colors. This way, ELBA gives its contribution to offer a high-performing product that is, moreover, sustainable.
The SA-V is offered in four different sealing widths:
- 650 mm (25.6”);
- 950 mm (37.4”);
- 1,250 mm (49.2”);
- 1,550 mm (61”).
It is capable of producing different types of bags (Stand-up/Doypack®, side gusset bags, center seal bags) on the same machine and by changing the configuration in a short time, thanks to the tool-less technology. The SA-V can run with all mono or coextruded materials with PP or PE sealing base, both printed and unprinted, thus ensuring high performances and high-strength seals. The sealings can be made in different steps, in order to guarantee higher quality and mechanical resistance (avoiding material stress due to the sealing itself).
Recyclable PE stand-up pouches: doubled the production capacity with two high speeds indipendent lanes
The SA-V guarantees the possibility to produce pouches at high speeds on two independent lanes, thereby doubling the final production capacity.
As each accessory is independent, servo driven and installed on a modular base, the SA-V design allows the machine to be customized, according to different production requirements; the machine configuration can be upgraded at any time, without altering the original configuration.
The SA-V machine is fully equipped with Siemens components and it is entirely controlled by a state-of-the-art HMI based on Bus Profinet®, that offers decisive advantages in terms of:
- flexibility: it allows manufacturing fully customized machines;
- efficiency: thanks to the total integration of all components and accessories;
- performance: it leads to increased productivity with ease;
- safety: it ensures the highest visibility of the remotely connected components during the assistance phase.
Moreover, the energy recovering implemented on all the drives guarantees saving up to 20% of the total consumption of energy.
Thanks to its high-quality components and the ease of use for the final user, the SA-V machine is characterized by reduced set-up/start-up/maintenance times and payback period. ELBA is always ready to welcome the customers that want to test their materials on one of their machines, thus having the possibility to take into consideration technologically advanced solutions to produce bags.
