Edible Film
Edible Film Packaging Machine | AS700
- AS-700 is a patented machine capable of cutting and packaging water-soluble edible film. Packaging speeds range from 10 to 25 finished dispensing trays per minute. Film of up to 1 ½” can be accommodated. Multiple rolls of film can run simultaneously. All product contact parts are FDA approved materials.
- Cut film can be validated for pharmaceutical application. Highly accurate operations are PLC and stepper motor controlled.
- The film is unwound and fed through the cutting mechanism. The operator will place the empty trays in a sliding or rotary indexing mechanism. The filled trays are removed and manually capped.
StripPack Machine| AS701
StripPack-AS701 is a machine designed to package edible film strips into individual pouches. The machine can handle various printed and heat sealable pouching materials for the pouch, and soluble film can be supported or unsupported. The machine can be used in automatic or semiautomatic mode. In semiautomatic, the operator actuates a foot pedal to initiate each cycle and this mode also allows provisions for placing precut soluble film strips manually (for small runs).
Main components of the machine are:
- Pouch material unwinders (2 per machine)
- Soluble film cut and feed mechanism
- Pouch sealing mechanism
- Print registration drive
- Cutting mechanism
Technical Specifications:
- Maximum roll diameter for the pouch material and for the soluble film is 14”
- Utilities require Electrical 110/220 V at 15 A and compressed air at minimum 80 PSI
- Machine footprint dimensions are 60”L x 36“ W x 36”H
- Production rate 16 to 22 pouches per minute (single strip per pouch)
- All product contact parts are stainless steel or FDA approved materials
- End-of-roll sensors
Optional devices that can be incorporated include:
*Date and batch coder
*Vision system to verify for presence of strip in the pouch
Edible Film Coating Machine
The coating machine accepts a roll of uncoated support material, deposits the liquid substrate on it, dries it and rewinds it.
The technical specifications for EFCM1 are as follows:
- Support material can be either paper based or plastic material
- The standard support material is 6” wide ( for larger widths, machine needs be customized)
- Speed of the paper thru the machine can be continuously adjusted from 0 to 30 meter per minute.
- Coated area width is 4 in (larger widths are possible)
- Maximum roll diameter 18 in
- Drying path length is 16 ft
- Drying is accomplished by 4 independent radiant heat units
- Required utilities to run are: 220V 3Phase 40 A, compressed air 5 CFM at minimum 60 PSI and venting of the vapors
Machine for Soluble Film Casing | ASQ-32
This machine can convert flat rolls of soluble film into a tube-like form. The seams are glued with a FDA approved glue. These casings are used in food and cosmetic industries. The casing disappears as the film is subjected to water and temperature.
Speed is dependent on the material being used.
The machine has the following components:
- Unwinding Mechanism
- Case Forming and Gluing
- Re-winder of the Finished Flat Casings
The machine requires 110V 10A and compressed air at minimum 80PSI.
