Stiavelli showcased its enriched range of highly reliable and durable equipment for the pasta industry including its new SVML/SDFQ packaging machine featuring the SPC20 weigher at Ipack-Ima 2018. Thanks to its special mechanics, this high speed, continuous motion packaging machine can pack both brick and pillow bags. The machine is equipped with a bypass conveying system, located at the bottom of the machine body which allows for the alternate production of both types of packs. Likewise, the proven continuous horizontal packaging unit for long pasta, the SO-EVO with its double weight doser, was presented at the booth. Historical Italian brand Stiavelli, founded in 1962, holds a leading position in the market today. The brand is part of the Pavan Group which was acquired by Gea in November 2017. Stiavelli is one of the few players to offer both a weigher and a packaging machine. Customers appreciate the individual design of the packaging area, which is customized based on their own production line layout and capacity.
High speed packaging
The new SDFQ packaging system consists of a continuous/linear motion packaging machine (SVML) combined with a carousel (DFQ) equipped with fully motorized stations. This new combination allows for speeds of up to 100 ppm (versus 80 ppm with the previous version). The system can produce packages with double square bottom; double square bottom with four welds; square bottom; square bottom with four welds and alternatively pillow bags via a bypass device. Electronic management takes place via the unique Omron PAC and operator interface which is fitted with a 12″ color touch-screen panel. The SPC20 weigher is equipped with 20 hoppers and is completed with a central conveying system and double shutter in the discharge cone which minimizes product breakdowns. The highest speed version includes a continuous motion packaging unit and is able to pack up to 130 bags per minute. Stiavelli multihead weighers deliver guaranteed high performance due to their remarkable accuracy and reliability.
