In today’s food industry, hygiene is no longer optional — it is a fundamental requirement. The growing awareness around allergens and consumer safety has driven Cavanna to develop a range of fully washable (WD = wash-down) packaging solutions, designed for the most demanding applications.
Cavanna’s flow packers, along with conveyors, pull-nose accumulators, and electrical components, are engineered for thorough and fast sanitation without compromise.
The WD machine range goes beyond just the flow wrapper and pull-nose: we offer a full array of loaders and application-specific devices.
Thanks to stainless steel construction and the reduction of hollow elements, the machines are fully accessible, easy to inspect, and can be cleaned without tools.
Cavanna’s wash-down lines support cleaning with hot water, detergents, and caustic agents, complying with the highest global food safety standards:
3A Sanitary Standards, EHEDG guidelines, and regulations from meat and dairy sector authorities.
Cavanna solutions apply Poka Yoke design principles to prevent human error and reduce the risk of cross-contamination between products. This is especially relevant for frequent product changeovers, particularly with fresh and frozen foods.
The innovation of the pullnose feeding system
Among the most appreciated innovations, the pull-nose feeding system allows a pressure-free accumulation flow, ensuring maximum delicacy and safety even for single-portion products.
Entirely built in stainless steel with a sanitary design (AISI 304, 316, 431, 630 stainless steel), this solution supports CIP (Cleaning In Place) operations and high-pressure washing with pressurized water and caustic foams.
ZERO4: the new generation of Cavanna flow wrappers
An evolution of the previous model, the new ZERO4 is available in three versions: painted, stainless steel, and wash-down. Key features include:
• Cantilevered groups for improved accessibility
• Brushless motors and intuitive touch interface
• Up to 400 packs per minute with heat-sealable film
The ZERO4WD is the ideal solution for food manufacturers seeking high performance, safety, and ease of sanitation — striking the perfect balance between cost and efficiency.
