Vertical form/fill/seal detects product in the seal area

New vf/f/s bagger from Rovema has "sense-and-seal" technology that detects product in the seal area and prevents the knives from cutting the bag, avoiding downtime related to seal jaws and cut-off knives. Seal force can be precisely calibrated for smoother operation.
