The New NovaMax500 System From Formax Looks to Transform the Industry

The NovaMax500 forming system from Formax is bringing a new generation of technology to the floor that’s transforming the industry! Every aspect of the NovaMax500’s performance is optimized with the support and extensive resources of Provisur®.  And the payoff is easy to see in a new system that promises superior product quality, low cost of ownership and its ability to run F-19™ tooling and accessories.

NovaMax500’s servo-driven dual lobe pump, using proven AccuPump technology, will forever change the food processing industry. It’s a Provisur exclusive! Advantages include protecting the product’s natural structure, reducing maintenance and keeping product movement under operator control.

By ensuring accurate fills at speeds up to 100 strokes per minute and rates up to 6,000 lbs per hour, the servo-driven dual lobe pump complements the NovaMax500’s direct drive servo system and its electronics perfectly. Formax has completely eliminated hydraulics and pneumatics from the forming process to bring maximum reliability, portioning and operator control. Servo controls benefit processors of whole muscle, 3D contoured and other high value products by increasing their ability to deliver the better shape and texture their customers’ desire.

Additionally, precise product placement to downstream conveying systems is assured by the programmable knock-out motion profiles of its servo knock-out drives. Product releases are totally reliable, and conveyors work in sync with the forming system on a product-by-product basis. A next generation 15” (381mm) touch screen interface is also introduced. The touch screen makes a full range of operating and diagnostic screens available in multiple languages. And adjustments to key parameters are possible on the run.

For superior hygiene, NovaMax500 boosts premium features, including uni-body construction, a rigid one-piece pump box and a pivoting hopper that tilts for cleaning. The one-piece pump box, introduced on the Maxum700®, is designed for simple, more thorough washdowns and reduced product leakage. Its greater strength provides a true running surface for tooling components and reduces loads by keeping them precisely aligned. The pivoting feed screw drives, hopper and removable feed screws allow for reduced cleaning time.

Tender-Form. Port-Fill. Verti-Form. Poultry-Plus. True-Sculpt. The NovaMax500 runs the world’s most popular filling and tooling systems for ground, whole muscle and 3D products. F-19 users that rely on their equipment for poultry and red meat, can maximize savings by using their existing tooling with excellent results.

The NovaMax500 forming system and Formax filling and tooling systems are backed by Provisur Technologies’ worldwide 24/7 technical support.
