COMPANY PROFILE

VELA manufactures machines to manipulate the sheets of flexible plastic to produce a more elaborate product.

The firm was founded in 1970 by Ramon Vela.

VELA he has designed and created machines for more than 35 years.

We have several machines lines:

Protection Line:
  • Welding machines to produce protective bags made of bubble plastic sheets or flexible foam (PE expanded). Some examples are bags to cover electronic material or delicate pieces.
  • Cut machines to produce sheets of these materials. This machines has the great advantage that it have a high productivity because he can cut 6 rolls of material at same time.
We have specialized in these materials that have behaviour completely different from the normal PE plastic. It has to be manipulated carefully to avoid wrinkles or tear while it is weld or cut.

Here we have the advantaged that we can produce little, medium or big format bags: protection for plasma screen, protection for sofas (furniture)

Really, our customers in Spain are very happy with out machines and they repeat the buy, so there are factories where we are the only providers for this type of machines

Universal Line:

Welding machines to make covers, bags and sacks for industrial or agriculture purposes. In this
case, we are specialized in big format bags. Some product examples are pallet covers, sacks for agriculture, covers for suits, conic bags for flowers, bag with cylindrical bottom for pharmaceutics industry.

The system that we use in our machines allow us to weld thick material (in example 200 microns x 4 time due to gusseting = 800 microns) and as well thin material.

· In this line we are working with machines with bottom weld that provides a strong union between the material

Sleeve Line:

  • Sealing Machines to obtain sleeve from a roll of printed material. The sleeve is used to label the final product or create promotions of a product. This type of machines has a nice success because they can do 2 sleeves bodies joined, ideal for promotional purposes. Moreover, it provides the possibility to include a longitudinal pre-cut in the body.
  • Cut machines to convert the sleeve in reel to sleeve in format that means that it will be ready to be put in the final product.
  • In this case the machine has the possibility to perform a transversal pre-cut with shape. That is used to implement the seal in the bottles.
We can design and built machines with special functions according to the requirements of our customers. Our machines can do:
  • · Folding
  • · Cutting (Complete or a Pre-cut)
  • · Welding or Sealing
  • · Rewind from reels
  • · Unwind to reels
  • · Pile up the product.
Our philosophy is to work in modules, so we can adapt the design to the customer needs choosing the suitable modules and link them in the correct way. This modules structure improves the machine start-up, the maintenance and allows inserting a new module in the machine without remake all the machine.

Some advantages of our machines are:
  • The longitudinal welding used to make a long weld for big bags.
  • The anti-stretch control used to avoid wrinkles in the bags or sacks
  • The welding method used that don’t destroy the foam material where the weld is done.
  • The automatic pile up system of bags or sheets without needles, so the final product doesn’t have holes.
  • We can stack bags or plates with a height that can be considered unlimited.
  • Our machines have a high reliability that can be confirmed by our customers. The expense in spare parts is very little.
  • Our machines are very compact and require little space. This is important, because the square meter is expensive in the factories.
