Hastamat R/RM Series Vertical Form Fill Seal

Hastamat's all-purpose bagmaker: up to 250 bags per minute across the widest span of bag styles and products in the Hastamat range.

If you are packing a product sold by weight and you are deciding which machine to build the line around, this is usually the one.

Hastamat calls the R/RM "the all-a-rounder" and the specification earns the name: up to 250 bags per minute, film width up to 800 mm, bag volume up to 10,000 cubic centimeters, in both intermittent and continuous motion. That span covers most of what a snack, confectionery or frozen food plant runs.

The bagmaker is half the line

A bagmaker works as a pair with the weigher that doses into it, and that pairing sets both your rate and your giveaway. Specify the two together and a large share of the output available to you arrives without a faster machine. Piepenbrock Packaging's job is to understand your total production needs to help Hastamat specify the weigher, the bagmaker and the film to your target.

The VFFS buyer's guide covers the full line, and multihead weighing covers the stage that usually decides the margin.
