Partners in Packaging (PiP) will show a number of new packaging machines at Total.
From Etipack, the European manufacturer of print-and-apply labelling systems, comes the System 1 for cylindrical bottles and jars. The unit will be shown on PiP¡¯s stand applying a self-adhesive label to a round pharmaceutical bottle. Handling products from 18-80mm in diameter, it runs at speeds of up to 300 bottles a minute.
Lancashire-based PiP will also show the Eclipse intermittent end-load cartoner from US-based Cartoning and MGS, which is targeted at the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Capable of speeds of up to 90 cartons a minute, it is supplied with feeding systems for ampoules, vials, syringes, bottles, transdermals and tubes.
The Isis tray de-nester, available in multiple lanes to handle plastic, pulp and cardboard trays at speeds of up to 50 cycles per lane, is also new. Complementing this is the Speed-disp de-nester for the ready meals sector.
As distributor of US-based Theile Streamfeeder¡¯s Universal friction feeders and collators, PiP will also show the new Flow-fold Pro series feeder for folding U cards and feeding them into flow-wrapping machines for the food industry. |
