has culminated in designing the most reliable, high performance and accurate pouching and packaging systems available anywhere in the world.
R
OPAK's PROJECT AND
DESIGN ENGINEERS DEVELOP BOTH
STANDARD AND CUSTOM SYSTEMS
TO CLIENT SPECIFICATIONS
UTILIZING THE LATEST COMPUTER
AIDED DESIGN
THE
CAD
ROPAK
(CAD)
SYSTEMS.
SYSTEMS ALLOW
ENGINEERS TO EASILY
EXAMINE THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE
FOR MEETING THE CLIENT'S
PACKAGING SYSTEM NEEDS.
Our goals are simple:
INNOVATIVE
IVE ENGINEERING IS THE
. Innovative Design using
leading edge technology
. Reliable Operation through
simple design
. Quality Construction using
proven components
. High Performance through
constant refinement
. Service & Support unequaled
by anyone in the packaging
industry
KEY TO MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY
AND EASE OF OPERATION. OUR
UNIQUE "VERTI-ZONTAL" DESIGN
(COMBINING THE ADVANTAGES OF
VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL
SYSTEMS) AND OUR PATENTED
VOLUMETRIC DOSING SYSTEM
PROVIDE ROPAK MACHINES WITH
HIGH SPEED AND ACCURACY.
COMPACT MACHINE DESIGN AND
UNCOMPLICATED CONTROLS
REDUCE FLOORSPACE
REQUIREMENTS AND TRAINING
TIME.
NCE THE
ROPAK ENGINEERS HAVE DETERMINED THE MOST APPROPRIATE
SYSTEMS TO USE, THE PRECISION MACHINING OF PARTS IS BEGUN IN
ROPAK'S
MACHINE SHOP. CRITICAL PARTS SUCH AS THE FILLER SYSTEMS AND GEARS BOXES
ARE MADE FROM SOLID PLATE STOCK TO ENSURE DURABILITY AND SERVICE. QUALITY
CONTROL IS AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT IN THE FLEXIBLE PACKAGING DEVELOPMENT
PROCESS.
ROPAK
MAINTAINS A HIGH LEVEL OF QUALITY THROUGH THE IN-HOUSE
MANUFACTURING OF
80%
OF
THE PARTS USED IN THEIR
MACHINES.
ROPAK ENSURES A QUALITY
PERFORMANCE BY PROVIDING ALL
IN-HOUSE MACHINE TOOLS WITH
DIGITAL READOUTS TO MEASURE
ACCURATELY ALL PARTS BEING
MANUFACTURED.

Pneumatic: 80 PSI compressed air is
requred 10 — 20 CFM depending on
machine size and specifications.
Electrical: 240V 3 phase 60 HZ, 110V
controls 40 Amp. Other voltages available
upon request.
Programmable
temperature controls with
high and low limits
automatically compensate when machine speed
control is adjusted.
Guards of clear poly
carbonate are vertically
mounted and electrically
interlocked.
The patented filling
wheel incorporates a
unique helical spiral
dosing core, allowing
the ROPAK IV to operate
at up to 3,100 pouches
per minute.

The ROPAK V flexible
packaging machines were
specifically designed for
large pouches needing
three or four sealed sides.
Dual pendulum control
panels on swivel mounts
allow for operator
comfort and increased
