VFFS+multi-head weigher can be connected to the LAN network, including wireless, for downloading/uploading data, recipes, statistics and outside connection to the on-line help system if required.

Software

The software developed exclusively by PFM for the Supernova includes some outstanding features. At the same time, the extremely high transmission speed of the hardware data, which is also extended to the MBP weigher, allows for perfect synchronisation between the weigher/ VFFS and precise control of print registration on the film. Main features of the Supernova software:

• Sealing time can be regulated (within the permitted range) independently of the other parameters whatever the production speed or length of pack. A special regulation parameter linked with the recipe is featured on the touch screen. This function, combined with the exclusive long dwell sealing system, ensures an extra long, consistently optimal sealing time which guarantees the quality and resistance of the seals.
• Automatic control of synchronisation between the multihead weigher and packaging machine irrespective of packaging speed. Synchronisation between the product arriving and the movement of the crimpers is therefore always perfect.

The combination of these two features reduces machine downtime to almost zero thereby increasing guaranteed average production rates to maximum levels.
