ROVEMA REVO series of VFFS machines

ROVEMA, a German manufacturer celebrating 65 years of manufacturing vertical, form fill and seal machines, now offers solutions for packaging fresh produce and frozen foods. The REVO series of VFFS machines is available in both continuous and intermittent motion versions, suitable for a variety of bag formats and styles.

Fresh produce such as carrots, onions and potatoes can be packaged in pillow bags using the recyclable LDPE or stand-up bags in kraft paper with organic barrier properties. Typical throughputs are 80 bpm for 500 g baby potatoes and 50 bags/min for 1000 g carrots. A special machine with inclined filling tube can be used for delicate products.

Frozen foods benefit from an ultra-hygienic machine design and heated IP65 electrical cabinet. Frozen berries and frozen vegetable cuts in typical 300 g bags can be packaged at 120 bpm, while frozen fries and seafood in 500–1000 g bags can be packaged at 80–100 bpm. Thin PE films and kraft paper with water vapour barrier properties can be successfully used on the range of machines handling bag widths up to 380 mm.
