- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 40 to 60 pieces per minute, depending on product and pack format.
- Packaging formats
- Multiformat lines typically handle various bag types, including those for whole beans with valves and vacuum-packed monobags.
- Vacuum system
- Units of this type commonly feature vacuum chambers, often with nitrogen flush capabilities for inert gas packaging.
- Labelling capabilities
- Integrated labelling systems, such as front and reclosing label applicators, are commonly found on these lines.
- Control system
- Modern packing lines typically utilise touchscreen interfaces and PLC systems like Siemens S7 for operation and diagnostics.
- Power supply
- Industrial packing lines commonly require a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage varying by configuration.
- Required utilities
- Beyond electricity, compressed air and potentially nitrogen gas are typically required for operation.
- Footprint
- A multiformat packing line typically requires a significant operational footprint, varying based on the number of integrated modules.
