1 Thermoformer know-how packaging

2 The modular set-up of this machine system and its special options fulfils the highest packaging requirements for your products, be they foodstuff, non-fooditems or sterile medical goods. The customer s requirements will be discussed in detail, for example product to be packed, siting of the equipment etc. and a detailed specification will be drawn up to determine the design of the Multipower, It should be noted that, the length of the machines can vary between 4,8 m and 15 m. VARIOVAC Multipower, the special packaging line for the highest performance requirements The packaging lines are manufactured mainly from stainless-steel. By using many standard components, the customer can freely source parts from local suppliers. It is the aim of our research and development department to simplify the VARIOVAC packaging lines, and reduce the time required for retrofitting other packaging sizes. We will advise and design the most economical solution for you. Special solutions - such as automatic die changing systems, jumbo double roll bobbins, automatically driven packaging supporting webs, and complex cutting systems - are incorporated in our machines to give speed and flexibility when changing programmes. When fully automatic loading-systems are being used, the machines can also be fitted with approved options such as bottom film paste point control, packaging mould control, mould height control, and the automatic discard of empty packages. The connections to peripheral devices (such as filler, slicer, labeller etc.), are already prepared on the Multipower. We recommend our Variolabel labelling device for the labelling of the packages. We provide training for our customers and partners where we share our experience and know-how in packaging on thermoformers gained during more than three decades of trading. Our service and sales staff are constantly up-dated about new developments. Sales, service and customer support are provided by us, our subsidiaries and our partners worldwide. Pneumatically operated packaging supporting webs in both the loading and cutting area are being adapted to the packaging sizes via the control switch. No change-over times! Top film affixing station Patent No. DE for simple and accurate running-in of a new top-film, particularly recommended for rapport printing. Double top film bobbins shorten the production down-times. Variolabel labelling system with thermo transfer printer for labelling on the topand / or bottom film Packaging mould control: Upon identifying a mis-formed or faulty mould, automatic filling is stopped Separate conveyor belt: empty packages are automatically discharged

3 The side panels are completely removable for hygienic and servicing reasons jumbo-bottom film device directly in front of the machine, diameter of the film roll: 1000 mm A combination of rotating knives and squeezing knives: On demand the squeezing knives are switched on, but otherwise remain in layered down position. No change-over times! Roll shear cut, specifically designed for use with a semi-rigid film of more than 600 µm, for an optimal cut of particularly high packaging optics An example of a complete compound cut punch alternatively with a 90 redirection, depending on the availability of space and product supply

The machines correspond to GMP-standards and are all CE certified. Subject to technical change and constant improvement and alteration. 1. bottom film for moulding, as an option with a jumbo double film roll device 2. forming die to form the bottom film to moulds (2a.) automatic die changing system: a magazine with complete forming plates, charging via the lift 3. loading area where the moulds are filled with product 4. coloured touch screen panel (5.) integrated 2-component gas mixer (6.) photoelectric code control for proper positioning of top film printed with repeating pattern (7.) top film to seal the filled moulds; here optional with two top film bobbins 8. electrical cabinet with slant roof, (electric, pneumatic) 9. sealing die to evacuate, gas-flush and seal the filled moulds (9a.) automatic die changing system; here with two sealing slide-in modules that remain on the machine (9b.) automatic die changing system; here with parking positions for two sealing frames 10. crosscutter for packs: (flying knife, guillotine, punch) (11.) extension in cutting area, e.g. to mount a Variolabel cross-web labeller 12. longitudinal cutter for packs: (rotating knife, squeezing knife optional as a combination, roll shear cut) 13. removal of residual film (side- and middle strip rewinder / suction/ chopper) 14. package outfeed by height-adjustable conveyor belt; independently adjustable speed control 15. lifting device of the sealing die (16.) gas tank 17. main vacuum valve with connection to central vacuum plant 18. lifting device of the forming die (19.) cooling system to cool the dies (position optional) 20. control cabinet of forming station (with pneumatic valves and active carbon filtering) ( ) = options are stated in parentheses

5 Die changing systems Changing the pack size is significantly simplified by VARIOVAC specific features. They include the attachment-sealing plates system, the hinged safety covers, the folding top forming dies, etc. Fully-automatic die changing system without cutting the bottom film (option) Patent No. DE / EP Forming station A magazine can be loaded with different complete forming plates. The required forming plate for the current packaging program will automatically be charged from the magazine into the bottom forming die via a lift. Sealing station In this example the sealing station is fitted with a magazine and two sealing plug-in modules as well as two sealing frames. The sealing plug-in module will automatically be charged from the magazine into the top sealing die. Semi-automatic die changing system 2 packaging formats remain constantly on the Multipower (option) Patent No. DE Forming station This Multipower is fitted with 2 forming plug-in modules that remain on the machine. They are pushed manually into the forming station Sealing station The top sealing parts are being lifted hydraulically and brought into a parking position. To simplify the exchange and maintenance the single sealing cassettes in the upper sealing part can easily be taken out.

6 Founded in 1970 VARIOVAC PS SystemPack GmbH, is managed by its owners. From the beginning vacuum packaging and gas flushing techniques were our business. In 1996 we commenced our own development, design and production of thermoformers and tray sealers. We also fit the machines with important additions, for example - Variolabel and Varioprint labelling and coding devices - filling systems - leak tester (rondo and quarree) - vacuum chamber machines - trays and films Köln Hamburg ZARRENTIN Berlin Osnabrück Leipzig Dresden Eisenach Frankfurt Stuttgart production Sales and service take place via our partners worldwide and our subsidiaries in Poland, England and Denmark / Sweden: München VARIOVAC Polska Sp. z o.o. - VARIOVAC UK Ltd. - VARIOVAC Nordic A/S - sales application technology training production and administration sales and service manufacturer: VARIOVAC PS SystemPack GmbH Ernst-Litfaß-Str. 6 D Zarrentin Tel: Fax: GB-04/07
