Bartelt RPM Rollstock Pouching System

Pouching System Designed Specifically for Single-Serve Markets

With double pouch clamps, the Bartelt RPM rotary turret horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) pouching machine has been specifically designed to run heavier fill weights and larger pouch sizes.

This intermittent-motion pouching machine has two different performance configurations – the RPM 950 and the RPM 1500 – both of which have double pouch clamps.

These clamps hold pouches firmly in place throughout the eight-station servo-driven rotary turret and allow the production of heavy fill weights in large pouches. It is suitable for a wide range of pouch styles and sizes.

This space saving rotary turret machine series achieves speeds up to 60 cycles per minute depending on product and model. Optional duplex configurations yield to 110-120 pouches per minute.

This model is an excellent choice for producing sachets, gusseted bags and stand-up pouches.

Operation

The Bartelt K-Series pouching machine produces flexible pouches from roll stock

Flat sheet from roll stock is formed into either flat or gusset pouches in the forming section of the machine

Pouches are heat sealed using temperature-controlled seal bars

Preheat and/or cooling may be required based on film characteristics and machine speed

Film is advanced through the bag making section in photo-registration via the servo feed roll system

Registered pouches are cut and transferred into the dual clamping system for filling and closing via the knife/transfer system

A pouch detection system is used to ensure that pouches are in position for filling to minimize product loss

Pouches are opened with a servo controlled opening and closing system (pucker) and via vacuum with air assist

Product is fed with a product filling system

Filled pouches are transferred to the top seal area where they are closed and sealed

The completed pouch is removed from the clamps and discharged
