Puma Thermosealing Netting Machine
Creating 100%-recyclable monomaterial packages. Using 50% less plastic each package. Ensuring high production continuity extremely fast and reliable.
- Puma is an automatic vertical netting machine for packaging products in bag with no metal clip: P-Pack, the package, is made of tubular net, either knitted or extruded, sealed with a label, and of a ribbon functioning as a handle. The label can be weld-to-weld (sealed at the extremities) or wineglass type (in both cases, it is customisable in shape and is realised my means of pre-registered printing).
- The machine, in fact, is equipped with a thermal-transfer printer capable of operating directly on the label, either on the inside or the outside, as well as with high-quality and -technology components: the wide touch-screen display allows to programme various production recipes, for an easy use. Moreover, thanks to the two net tubes with automatic change, Puma ensures high production continuity.
- REV can provide the packaging materials, which can be in PE or compostable.
- Ideal for: citruses, onions, potatoes, garlic, shallots, chestnuts, etc.
