Matrix to unveil full suite of VFFS solutions for enhanced productivity and sustainability

Have a flexible bag packaging application? Then head west to see a new flexible bag packaging solution.

Matrix Packaging Machinery and its master distributor brands of INVpack and Pacraft (formerly Toyo Jidoki) will be demonstrating its latest flexible packaging technologies in booth 5231 at WestPack 2024, Feb. 6-8, at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California.

WestPack attendees will see the following machines on display:

MVC-300

Highlighting WestPack 2024 is the MVC-300, a one-of-a-kind continuous box-motion bagger with the latest high performance servo system for unprecedented precision motion control. Together this allows users to run a variety of films at faster speeds and with better accuracy. The MVC-300 features enhanced remote connectivity for service, updates, and diagnostic capabilities without danger of facility firewall compromise.

A high-speed jaw system cuts film and provides just enough dwell time for three bag seams to properly seal. Additionally, the MVC-300 offers remote connectivity control for machine updates.

Mercury

In addition to the new MVC-300, attendees will also see other Matrix solutions in action, including the versatile Mercury high-speed vertical form fill seal bagger that can cycle up to 140 flexible packaging bags per minute. The Mercury is known for its easy operation and quick changeover and setup. It can accommodate bag widths between 2” and 11”, and bag lengths between 3” and 15”.

Elete Premier

The Elete Premier 13/15 is a high-performance, totally configurable solution for medium-sized bags that is ideal for customers who require more hygienic attributes in their packaging machine. Producing bags with a 13” wide web width and up to 15” long, the Elete Premier features a stainless steel, sanitary design with all major components, including fasteners, bearings, shafts, and motors suitable for washdown environments. The machine can produce several different bag shapes, such as pillow, gusset, and flat bottom with a variety of films, including recyclable, at filling rates up to 100 bags per minute.

Pacraft (formerly known as Toyo Jidoki)
