PREWA 'Basic' vertical filling machine

MADE IN GERMANY! The “basic” form, fill and seal machine from Prewa Verpackungsmaschinenbau is characterised by a robust tubular frame. In the “basic” series, we also fit a Siemens control system. The difference between this series and the other machine series is that it uses a pneumatic cylinder in the drive section of the cross jaws to drive the sealing jaws. The film unwinding is powered by a motor. This machine is particularly suitable for businesses wishing to switch from manual packaging to an automated solution at a manageable cost. Intermittent operation Format ranges from 50 mm to 550 mm (bag width) Minimal changeover times Painted frame or stainless steel frame Simple operation via touch screen Compact machine frame Siemens PLC (touchscreen & Siemens control) For PE and/or heat-sealable packaging materials Bag types such as flat bags, stand-up pouches and side-gusseted bags Self-optimising heating control Permanently heated sealing tool for PE (no sealing bands required) In addition to this vertical filling and sealing machine, we also have other VFFS machines in our portfolio.

Monolithic tyres

Our monolithic belts are used in environments where hygiene and food safety must meet the highest standards and requirements. The belts contain no fabric reinforcements, thereby preventing the risk of fabric protrusion and contamination caused by delaminating textile layers. In addition to traditional belts, positively driven belts are also available. These belts require minimal tension, which extends their service life. The risk of misalignment and slippage with this type of belt is minimised. The monolithic belts are available in PU and PE materials. During the manufacturing process of our belts, various accessories can be fitted to the belt: trapezoidal belts guide strips fingers block straps straight drivers bent drivers wavy edges finger-type carriers guide strips seals We can also supply various types of sprockets and profiles as accessories.

Buffer and turntables

Turntables are often used at the start or end of a production line. A common application is buffering products before or after an operation on the production line. Buffering allows for a continuous supply of products, ensuring that production does not come to a standstill. The turntables are available in stainless steel or carbon steel. Standard diameters for the turntables are 800 mm, 900 mm, 1000 mm, 1250 mm, 1500 mm and 2000 mm.

Conveyor belts

Gravity-fed or powered Conveyor rollers are commonly used in horticulture, distribution centres and factories. A distinction can be made between two types of conveyor rollers: Gravity roller conveyors Powered roller conveyors The non-powered (gravity) roller conveyor is mainly used at the end of a production line. By positioning the conveyor at a specific angle, the product will always roll to the lowest point. Here, the product can be buffered, allowing staff to carry out tasks on the product, for example. Gravity roller conveyors can be manufactured from stainless steel, aluminium or steel. These roller conveyors can be produced in various widths and lengths. Powered roller conveyors are often used to transport unit loads, such as crates, boxes or pallets. As the name suggests, this type of roller conveyor is powered. By threading loops of, for example, round straps or chains through the rollers, all the rollers in a conveyor can be driven by a motor. Powered roller conveyors can be manufactured from stainless steel, aluminium or steel. These roller conveyors can be manufactured in various widths and lengths.

Curved belt conveyors

Curved belt conveyors are used to transport products around a specific curve. These curves can range from 30 to 180 degrees. A key advantage of these conveyors is that the products remain in their original, undisturbed production sequence during transport. Furthermore, the product will not be damaged whilst negotiating the bend. These conveyors can be manufactured in various belt widths and outside radii. Depending on the industry and application, Innoveya recommends materials and a suitable belt type. Material Curved belt conveyors can be manufactured from stainless steel, aluminium or steel. Various types of conveyor belts can also be used, such as: Woven belts Modular (link) belts Bottle chain belts

Articulated & Z-belt Conveyors

Articulated and Z-belt conveyors are used when products need to be conveyed upwards and discharged, with the first and/or last section required to be horizontal. These conveyors can handle an incline of up to 60 degrees, depending on the product. The conveyor belts on these conveyors are often fitted with lifters or scoops to prevent the product from rolling or sliding down. Furthermore, the product must not fall off the side of the conveyor. This can be prevented by using a conveyor with side guides or corrugated belt edges. Articulated/Z-belt conveyors are often fitted with a feed hopper and a discharge hopper, which we can also supply. Depending on the industry and application, Innoveya recommends materials and a suitable belt type. Material Articulated/Z-belt conveyors can be manufactured in stainless steel, aluminium or steel. Various belt types can also be used, such as: Woven belts Solid PU belts Modular (link) belts

Straight belt conveyor

The straight belt conveyor is the most widely used internal transport system today. These conveyors are found in virtually every industry and can be used for a wide range of applications. They are used to transport a product between two machines or for specific operations, such as labelling, sorting or metal detection. Or, as shown in the photo, for coding products. Depending on the industry and application, Innoveya recommends materials and a suitable belt type. Materials Straight belt conveyors can be manufactured from stainless steel, aluminium or steel. Various types of conveyor belts can also be used, such as: Woven belts Solid PU belts Modular (link) belts Bottle chains Grille belts Mesh belts
