Ossid, powered by Pro Mach, introduces the 8000S, a thermoform/fill/seal machine for medium- to high-production environments that delivers up to 20 cycles/min. This horizontally oriented machine can produce a host of different package types for utmost flexibility, including flexible, foil-foil, semi-rigid, rigid, ambient, vacuum, modified atmosphere, and reclosable.
Also contributing to its flexibility, the 8000S can run a range of packaging materials and can accommodate 3-in. and 6-in. cores for the dual supply mandrels. For precise, repeatable motion actuation the unit features servo control on the drive chain and forming and sealing presses. The 8000S has a maximum web width of 20 in. and an index length of 18 in., which contributes to its medium- to high-production rating. The 8000S is designed for maximum hygiene.
The dual unwind stand comes standard with automatic edge guide for the bottom web, which ensures smooth operation and low operator involvement. The control system is based on Allen-Bradley PLCs. The HMI has features designed to make changeover fast and accurate, provide management with relevant production information, and ensure that maintenance personnel have the information they need for troubleshooting and ongoing support. Ossid also provides customers with change parts kits that lower inventory costs and ensure highest uptime. Stainless-steel construction provides durability in harsh environments.
