PFM gives bagger-weigher European debut at Pro2Pac

The Italian-manufactured ZC1 combines a PFM Zenith bagger with the new PFM C1 multihead weigher, which is mounted on to the machine.

Leeds-based PFM has aimed the machine at smaller, entry-level businesses that handle dry goods such as snacks, confectionery, pet-food, granular products, biscuits and short pasta.

It is capable of running bags of 230mmx300mm in size and with a volume of four litres at speeds of up to 80 bags per minute.

“The ZC1 has been developed to meet the need for an inexpensive system that nevertheless offers a high degree of flexibility and accuracy and is simple to use,” said PFM sales and operations director Chris Bolton.

The absence of a gantry reduces the machine’s cost and footprint and also reduces the height, which improves handling of delicate goods.

PFM will next display the ZC1 at food processing and packaging show Ipack-Ima in Milan, Italy (24-28 March 2009).
