Sensitive fruit in flow-pack
Product protection and transport has been GNA’s mission for over thirty years. From here the idea of the Vaquita project, devoted to the packaging of apples and other sensitive fruits, trayless and in a tray. Whatever the material the customer decides to use to best preserve and present its product – especially in the case of compostable or biodegradable packages and trays – solutions like Vaquita provide a safe, reliable and quick packaging.
Vaquita is a customizable horizontal flow pack packaging machine, ideal for high performances in the packaging of fruits and vegetables, loose or on small trays. This solution is specifically designed for the packaging of round fruits and can be equipped with an automatic synchronizing unit for high-speed feeding and packaging of trays.
The machine infeed features three chains with a wider table top; newly designed silicon teeth, suitable for the transfer of nude and delicate products; anti-friction side belts; upper rail belt, which receives and gently guides the products to the sealing area; lower belts that carry the products out of the machine.
This flexible machine is available in modular construction, and allows to extend the machine infeed in order to obtain a smoother production cycle. It can reach speeds up to 80 cycles/min, according to the specific characteristics of each product. Product transport is guaranteed by a special feeding system, suitable for handling even very delicate fruits without damaging them.
