3C Series Vertical Form Fill and Seal

Machine overview

High-Performance 3SS Baggers for Ground Coffee and Beans Packaging.

The 3SS bagger models guarantee a high performance output in the packaging of ground coffee and beans.
The design of the machines is based on an Open Frame architecture that provides easy cleaning and accessibility for maintenance and operational adjustments. The machines are controlled by a PLC and equipped with a user friendly HMI, a motorized film unwinding unit, a pneumatic film tension controller and a motorized film alignment system. The baggers, intermittent or continuous motion, including degassing valve applicator and N2 flushing system, are capable of producing and filling 3 side seal bags from 50 cc up to 5000 cc.
• 3C-130/OF intermittent or continuous motion – up to 150 p/min
• 3C-200/OF intermittent motion – up to 60 p/min
• 3C-360 intermittent motion – up to 15 p/min
• 3C-80 Dual intermittent motion – up to 70 p/min
• 3C-130 Twin intermittent motion – up to 80 p/min
• PRYSMA intermittent motion – up to 50 p/min
