Special version
- As a special version, the cutting, folding and sealing units of the U1-I machine
are provided in a twin execution for fold wrap (U1-D CW). Thus, two pieces
are cut simultaneously by means of a double guillotine knife – water-cooled and with intermittent rope feed - wrapped in a twin mould wheel and sealed in the
twin-lane discharge unit. By this method an output of up to 1600 pieces is
achieved with a machine speed of up to 800 r.p.m. Product dimensions:
Length = 16 – 38 mm;Width = 12 – 25 mm; Height = 4 – 15 mm.


Operation
- Depending on the local conditions, one, two or even more machines can be
handled by one operator
- Machine control via adjustable display with touch screen


Combinations
- The U1-I can be combined with the THEEGARTEN-PACTEC stick pack machine F1 to produce flat stick packs or stick packs »on edge«. A combination with
horizontal flow-pack machines is also possible. Depending on the product the
U1-I can be synchronized either with a batch roller and rope sizing machine
(hard boiled candies and soft caramels respectively toffees) or an appropriate
extruder and cooling tunnel (chewing gum and bubble-gum products, chewy
candy).
