High speeds in the bag

The new Super Nova bagging machine from PFM Packaging Machinery is capable of speeds up to 250 a minute, and has been developed to economically open up the advantages of extended shelf life to a wider range of high volume food products, such as cheese, pasta, snacks and bakery items. It derives its speed from electronic and mechanical enhancements including a new design of high speed rotary sealing jaw.

As a result, PFM believes the Super Nova to be the world's fastest bagging machine for modified atmosphere packaging. The new machine can be operated with one of PFM's latest multi-head weighers, for example the MBP SM16-C3, on which a second tier of memory weigh buckets increases dramatically the weighing combinations available, giving much higher speed and accuracy.
