1.- INTRODUCTION
1.1.- Main Features.
The ver cal mul lane sachet packing machines have been prepared for the mul ple
forming and fi lling (6, 8, 10,… depending on the format) star ng from a single reel of heat
sealable fi lm.
These machines are specially designed to fi ll any kind of liquid, pasty, powder or granulated
product in s ck sachets made of heat sealable materials and complexes, by mul ple fi lling
systems.
On the study there have been taken into account the smallest details ge ng, apart from an
easy use, a minimum maintenance. Its concep on is simple, strong and versa le, everything
within excellent dimensions.
Before its launching there has been tested its high performance, being subjected to the
hardest tests in all format range.
1.1.1.- Formats range.
The mul lane packing machine is designed to fi ll any kind of product into 3 side sealed
sachets. The range of formats made by this machine is very varied, depending on the product
to be fi lled and the kind of fi lm to be used.

1.2.2.-Reel alignment.
The fi lm, either it is not well placed on the reel holder sha or due to a bad status of the
reel, does not get in the correct posi on to form and create the s ck. The reel alignment
group, through a linear motor (Fig. 4 (a)) that moves the unreeler group (Fig. 4 (b)), and the-
refore the reel to the le or to the right, permits, through the touch screen, to move this reel
manually to the correct posi on.
Fig. 4: Reel alignment.
Fig. 3: Unreeler
1.2.1.- Unreeler
The unreeler group has the task to unroll the reels of heatsealable fi lm and to accompany
this fi lm by maintaining the tension all the  me, depending on the machine’s fi lm requirements.
This group consists of:
- Reel holder sha . (Fig. 3 (a))
- Frein unreeler. (Fig. 3 (b))
Reel is placed on the expansible sha (Fig. 3 (a)), which permits this reel to be securely
fastened on it. Depending on the fi lm needs, the unreeler motor (Fig. 3 (b)) turns this sha ,
faster or slower, to unroll the fi lm.

1.2.3.- Splicing table
The splicing table is a group used to change the reel in an easy and quick way. This group,
as its name says, permits to splice easily a reel which is going to be fi nished to a new one. It
has some magnets (Fig. 5 (a)) wich maintain the fi lm in the correct posi on, one longitudinal
incission (Fig. 5 (b)) makes easier the cu ng of the fi lm.
Fig. 5: Splicing table
1.2.4.- Accumulator.
The accumulator is a group that works directly with the unwinder group and serves as the
fi lm lung, as well as to keep the tension on it.
Fig. 6: Accumulator
In this group there is a sensor that enables to control the fi lm status all the  me.
This sensor (Fig. 6 (a)) stops the machine when it detects that the reel has fi nished. When
there is a stretching excess caused by any fault, this sensor acts and regulates this fault. It
also regulates the accumulator feeding, which lets the fi lm to be fed during the produc on
process.

1.2.5- Printer support.
This set is to support the printer.
It also has an accumulator that makes the fi lm to be  ght to get a proper prin ng.
Fig. 7: Printer support.
1.2.6.- Film brake.
The ver cal sachet machine TPV is an intermi ent machine, so the fi lm is pulled by cycles.
It means that fi lm must not be loosen, this is the reason there is a fi lm brake group. This group
holds the fi lm while the pulling group is open, when it closes fi lm is released to be able to pull
it for making a new cycle.

1.2.7.- Spot photocell.
This group detects, through a mono-croma c photocell, (Fig. 8 (a)) a mark which is located
in a concrete zone of the printed reel, avoiding to have the same sachet length.
Fig. 8: Spot photocell.
1.2.8.-Longitudinal cu ng.
The func on of this group is to cut the fi lm longitudinally at the necessary size to make the
sachet.
This group has been previously adjusted by a specialized technician in such a way that the
distance between knives is the exact size of the necessary fi lm width corresponding to the
sachet format before forming it (Fig. 9 (a)).

1.2.11.- Horizontal seal (Driving group)
The horizontal sealer has a double func on; it makes the s cks horizontal sealing and also
pulls them.
Fig. 12: Horizontal seal
1.2.12.- Regula on plate
The func on of this plate, driven by two linear motors, is to regulate at the same  me the
groups installed on it.

1.2.14.- Shears.
This group is composed of:
- Servomotor. (Fig. 14 (a))
-Knife. (Fig. 14 (b))
- Counter knife. (Fig. 14 (c))
- Cam. (Fig. 14 (d))
The func on of this group is to cut the s cks horizontally, separa ng the sachets with a
straight cut.
1.2.13.- Tear notch.
Op onal group; this is to make the necessary cu ngs on the s ck to open it easily.

1.2.17.- Electrical board.
The necessary electrical components for the correct working of the machine are located
inside an electrical board which is wired up according to guidelines. The standard board is
included on the machine, but there is also the possibility to have an external board (op onal)
in case it is necessary.
Fig. 19: Display.
Fig. 18: Electrical board.
1.2.18.-Display board.
The machine has a display board where there are located the controls and the touch screen.

2.- INSTRUCTIONS OF USE.
2.1.- Prepara on / Disposi on to work.
2.1.1.- Layout for the beginning of a produc on cycle.
Take proper precau ons for the work site to be in condi ons to make it
possible to reach easily and safely any part of the installa on.
- Check if the products being treated match those of the planned format.
- Check that the amount of materials for the packing is suffi cient for the planned produc on
period.
- Place the product in the fi lling group.
- Place the fi lm reels and pass the fi lm through the unwinder group to the pulling group.
- Supply power to the machine by means of the main switch located on the control panel.
- Make sure that all the protec on doors are securely closed.
2.1.2.-Sequences of a Normal Produc on Cycle.
To begin a normal produc on cycle, it has to be checked that the machine is ready to
begin the cycle. Reset the installa on by pressing the Reset pushbu on (in case there
is an alarm or emergency stop in the memory) and then press the Start pushbu on in
order to begin a Produc on Process. They are both located on the control panel.
Before beginning produc on, check that the machine has been forma ed properly.
With the aim of reaching the minimum temperature required in the sealers for their
correct opera on at the beginning of produc on, it is convenient to input power into
the machine and connect the sealers a few minutes prior to beginning produc on.
2.1.3.- How to Stop the Produc on Process.
The only correct procedure to stop the installa on is to press the STOP pushbu on
(Synchronized Stop) located on the Control Board. In this case, the machine does not
stop immediately, but it will do it when the machine’s Stop phase is reached.
2.1.4.- Ini al Sequences a er a Synchronized Stop.
In case the normal produc ve cycle has been stopped by pressing the Stop
pushbu on and produc on must be resumed, the Reset and the Start Pushbu ons
must be pushed in order to begin the Produc on process again. They are located on
the Control Panel.
