Meet the RM-48: The Definitive Solution for Large-Format and Institutional Packaging
When production calls for maximum capacity, not just in terms of cycles per minute, but in container size and volume, standard equipment often falls short. For manufacturers specializing in large retail items, bulk food service, or institutional meals, the need is for power, precision, and size flexibility.
Rocket Machine Works introduces the RM-48 Rotary Filler and Sealer , a machine specifically engineered to handle the industry’s most substantial rigid packaging. The RM-48 is the ultimate solution for high-volume, large-format filling and sealing.
Handling Substantial Volumes with Precision
The RM-48 is built around a robust eight-position rotary platform designed to manage heavy and large-diameter containers. Its superior design allows it to maintain a dependable cycle rate of 15 to 25 cycles per minute , offering a stable foundation for high-throughput operations.
The machine’s standout capability is its capacity for larger formats:
- Container Dimensions: It handles cups from 75 mm up to a massive 8″ in diameter and square containers up to 6″×6″.
- Max Volume: The RM-48 is capable of processing fill volumes up to 80 oz , addressing the most demanding needs for wholesale and institutional packaging.
Precision remains central, regardless of size. The integrated Servo Fill Capabilities allow for minute adjustments to speed and volume through the HMI, ensuring every large container receives an accurate dose, optimizing product yield.
Robust Features for Complex Product Lines
The RM-48’s feature set goes beyond mere filling and sealing, offering sophisticated controls for complex packaging requirements:
- Complete Automation: From Container Denesting to final discharge, the process is fully automated. The system includes both Pick and Place Seals and Roll Stock Sealing options for a 100% airtight closure.
- Overcap and Lidding: The RM-48 features options for Pick and Place Overcap application or a Spinning Rail Overcap , providing tamper-evident and secure re-sealable packaging for consumers or wholesale clients.
- Multi-Product Capability: Many models can be configured to accept a Second Fill Position , ideal for layered products like yogurt and granola, soup and croutons, or sauces with integrated components.
Built for the Toughest Environments
Like all Rocket Machine Works equipment, the RM-48 is built for operational longevity and rigorous sanitation. It features stainless steel construction and NEMA 4x, IP 67 rated wash-down components , ensuring direct wash-down compatibility and compliance.
The RM-48 is manufactured to meet or exceed USDA, FDA, and NSF standards , providing the documentation and reliability required to operate within the strictest regulatory frameworks. Furthermore, the Smart Panel Design provides essential remote service and support, drastically minimizing downtime and supporting continuous production.
For producers whose primary challenge is accurately filling and securely sealing large-format containers at a consistent industrial rate, the RM-48 provides an elegant, powerful, and enduring solution.
