Yamato and Rovema team up to showcase sustainable food packaging solution
Yamato Scale Dataweigh is joining automatic packaging machinery and systems manufacturer Rovema for an exciting in-house packaging event in July.
Customers are being invited to trial packaging their own products in fully compostable and recyclable packaging at the fortnight-long event. Yamato and Rovema will demonstrate a range of sustainable food packaging solutions for a variety of applications in several food industry sectors including snack and confectionery.
The Yamato/Rovema open house will take place at Yamato’s Leeds premises between 9 July and 21 July where Yamato will be demonstrating its Alpha Advance multihead weigher in conjunction with Rovema’s BVK 260 bagger.
The BVK is designed for flexible high-speed packaging using 100 per cent recyclable and compostable films and can pack a diverse range of products when combined with a multihead weigher.
Ideally matched, the Alpha series of automatic multihead weighers deliver levels of high-speed weighing of 75 weighments per minute (WPM) by the 10-head model and 140 wpm by the 14-head model. High frequency load cells shorten the settle time of the weighing cycle to enable high-speed weighing. Yamato’s auto feeder control system, accurate feeding and feeder amplitude enables the weigher to handle sticky or fragile products. The modular actuator units are fully covered by stainless steel plate for excellent sanitation.
“We are delighted that Rovema is joining us for this in-house demonstration event. It is a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our weighing solutions in combination with leading bagging machines. We are looking forward to welcoming new and existing customers and showing them how Yamato’s multihead weighers work in lines with high-quality bagging machines to create versatile sustainable packaging solutions,” said Andrea Spencer, commercial operations manager for Yamato Scale Dataweigh UK.
Rovema’s sales manager Sam Sherman added: “We are constantly working hard to bring customers the best new packaging solutions to ensure that they stay ahead of the game. This event demonstrates turnkey packaging solutions and will enable customers to trial their own products in recyclable and compostable film.”
