A.M.P Rose ICW Cut and Wrap
Machine
The
A.M.P-Rose ICW machine
takes a rope of confectionery product, forms it into the desired size and shape and
transfers the cut piece to a horizontal form, fill and seal machine for wrapping.
The machine is usually fed directly from an A.M.P-Rose
BR42 Batch Roller and RS66/67 Rope Sizer
or an extruder and cooling tunnel. |
Sequence of Operation
The rope of candy (1) is fed into the machine and sized by three/four pairs of sizing
rollers (2) to the desired width and thickness. The thickness can be adjusted by
turning the handles provided (3).
The rope is then transferred by belt (4) to the rotary knife (5), which cuts the piece to
the desired length. The cut piece is then transferred via belt to the infeed section
(6) of the horizontal form, fill and seal machine. The products are then picked up
by the infeed chain of the wrapping machine (7) and transported to the wrapping section.
Paper is fed from a reel (8) and formed around the product in a continuous
web. The product enters the wrapping material at the folding box area (9). A
fin seal on the base of the product is produced by sealing rollers (10), which are
heated/cooled where necessary. The pack is completed by the cross-seal and knife
unit (11), which forms the end seals and cuts the packs to length.

Major Advantages
This type of cut and wrap machine has considerable advantages over
traditional methods, for example:
Greater flexibility in terms of product size changes, which are achieved
quickly and cost-effectively.
By using a totally inline system, product handling is smooth and easily
controlled.
Low downtime and maintenance achieved by simple mechanisms.
High speeds - up to 450 packs/minute dependant on product
characteristics and wrapping materials.
Better product protection and shelf-life are achieved by using the
fin-seal principle with high intensity seals.
Style of Wrap
Pillow pack with crimped end seals and longitudinal fin seal laid flat
against the product base. The end seals can be serrated for easy opening.

Wrapping Materials
Heat-Sealable Cellulose Film
Polypropylene Laminates
Various Heat Seal and Cold Seal Materials.
