Technical Specifications
The ARM Butter/Margarine Filling and Wrapping Machine is a rotary type machine designed for continuous operation. It is suitable for packaging butter and margarine with a maximum capacity of up to 80 packs per minute. The machine handles dose masses ranging from 9 to 25 grams, with product input temperatures of +10 to +14°C for butter and +8 to +14°C for margarine. It features a feeding hopper with two horizontal augers and uses a volumetric dosing type.
Packaging Details
The machine uses laminated aluminum foil as packaging material, with a bottom folding type of package. It accommodates inner reel diameters of 70 or 75 mm and outer reel diameters up to 400 mm, with material thickness between 0.05 and 0.08 mm.
Control and Operation
The machine is controlled via a PLC and HMI with a touch screen. It offers accuracy of 1 g for 9-15 g doses and 1.5 g for 20-25 g doses. Productivity can be regulated incrementally. The machine requires a compressed air supply of 0.4 to 0.6 MPa (4 to 6 bar) and consumes 0.013 m³/min of compressed air. It has a rated power input of 9 kVA, operates on a voltage of 230/400 ± 10%, and a frequency of 50/60 Hz. The electricity supply is 3-phase.
Dimensions and Weight
The approximate dimensions of the machine are 3065 x 2444 x 1869 mm, and it weighs approximately 1800 kg.
Main Features
The ARM machine is capable of packing butter or margarine into consumer-sized portions with the ability to adjust portion weight by changing the height of the brick. It produces rectangular-shaped bricks and includes features such as a pneumatic or mechanical compensator, stainless steel dosing unit, and a stainless steel rotary table with synthetic inserts. The machine body and safety covers are made from stainless steel. Additional features include a sensor for foil tracking, a foil centering device with a photocell, a UV lamp, and an optional central lubrication system. An optional inkjet printer can also be integrated.
