Matrix MVC-300 A Must-See Las Vegas Attraction! Matrix Demonstrating its excellence with Flexible Packaging Machines at PACK EXPO 2023
Matrix will be highlighting its vast portfolio of vertical form fill seal and pre-made pouch solutions and demonstrating how they integrate into packaging lines for your specific application
For vertical form fill seal (VFFS) and pre-made pouch machines, there’s only one name shining brightly in the Las Vegas lights to see – Matrix Packaging Machinery!
Matrix will be demonstrating its portfolio of VFFS, pre-made pouch, and sachet solutions, including its MVC-300 continuous box-motion bagger, in booth C-2825 at PACK EXPO 2023, September 11-13, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Matrix is a provider in VFFS packaging equipment producing a variety of flexible bag styles, including pillow, gusseted, flat bottom, and modified doy. Matrix’s distributor product line-up includes Pacraft with its rotary pre-made pouch solutions, and INVpack with its Sachet and stickpack machine solutions. Matrix will be showing attendees live demonstrations of its flexible packaging solutions and illustrating how its machinery seamlessly integrates with other ProMach equipment for complete, turnkey packaging lines.
MVC-300
Taking center stage in Las Vegas 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.
The MVC-300 uses a continuous-motion, high-speed jaw system that is unique from other VFFS machines because the film never stops. The jaw system cuts the film and provides just enough dwell time for the three bag seams to properly seal. This innovative feature allows users to achieve higher fill rates, making the MVC-300 Matrix’s most advanced VFFS machine.
At the show the MVC-300 will be paired with a Yamato scale and mezzanine to package small pillow bags of candy. The candy will be packaged using film from CL&D, a ProMach brand. Be sure to see the live integration in action … and pick up a sweet treat as well!
Mercury
The second packaging line demonstration stars the Matrix Mercury, a high-speed vertical form fill seal bagger that can fill up to 140 bags per minute. The Mercury is known for its easy operation and quick changeover and setup. It can accommodate bag widths between 2.5” and 11”, and bag lengths between 3” and 15”. The Mercury is a great cost-effective packaging solution as it features a small footprint, stainless-steel frame, automatic film tracking, a registered film sensor, and more.
The Mercury is teaming up with a case former and erector from Wexxar Bel, a ProMach brand. Together, with a cup filler from Spee-Dee, the line will fill bags of candy, and those bags will be packed and sealed on the Wexxar Bel system.
Elete Premier
Other machines in action at PACK EXPO 2023 include the Elete Premier 18/20 VFFS, a high-performance, totally configurable solution for large bags that is ideal for customers who require more hygienic attributes in their packaging machine. The Elete Premier 18/20, which offers an 18” web width and up to 20” in length, 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.
The Elete Premier also comes in a smaller 13/15 version to produce bags with a 13” wide web width and up to 15” long. At the show, the Elete Premier 18/20 will be able to show pillow or gusseted bags.
Pacraft (formerly known as Toyo Jidoki)
The Pacraft TT-8D-N pre-made pouch filler/sealer is designed for a wide variety of packaging applications. Its pouch formats and product types include flat, stand-up, retort, and press-to-close pouch styles. It can seal up to 55 pouches per minute; pouch sizes range from 4.72” to 10.23” (120 – 260mm), lengths from 5.11” to 15.74” (130 – 400mm). Matrix will be running regular resistant as well as recyclable pouches. Anyone with sustainable initiatives will want to see these running!
INVpack MVA12
