Machine versions
EURO 88 VM
Vertical gravity feeders are installed directly on the wrapper’s infeed chain, allowing a smooth and continuous extraction of biscuits through the natural movement of the running chain. This configuration is an ideal solution for dry, flat, and plain products.
EURO 88 PWF
With vertical gravity feeders positioned just behind the wrapper chain, the EURO 88 PWF features a dual-motor design: one system manages the controlled drop of each pile, while the second ensures precise product transfer. This coordinated motion provides excellent flexibility and makes the unit suitable not only for traditional biscuits but also for sandwich varieties requiring careful handling.
EURO 88 RD
The vertical gravity feeders are mounted directly on the wrapper’s infeed chain and operates through individual servo-driven units. Portioning is achieved by the rotation of dedicated discs, ensuring high accuracy and adaptability. Thanks to its versatile design, the system is suitable for a very wide range of products, from delicate items to various shaped one.
