kaging Ltd, one of the country’s leading suppliers of packaging machinery and complete automated lines, will be showcasing its latest high-speed flow-wrapper for the chocolate and confectionery sectors at the Interpack exhibition in Germany.Designed for maintaining the texture and quality of chocolate, the robust FR 500 flow-wrapper is entirely electronic and includes a multi-axis control that synchronizes the main machine movements. It can comfortably wrap chocolate bars at up to 600 packs/min and is designed to be integrated in medium/high speed lines.
To demonstrate the exceptional qualities of the equipment, the FR 500 will be presented in an automated flow-wrapping line on Ulma’s impressive stand (C74) at the Dusseldorf Fairgrounds, along with a row distribution system, product buffering and recycling, product orientation and automatic indexing.
Sharing the spotlight with the FR 500 will be an array of Ulma’s extensive flow-wrapping, thermoforming and tray sealing range of equipment and automated lines, including the Artic Side Seal, Atlanta, TFS 400 thermoformer, TFS 500, TS 1000 tray sealer, TFS 407, TSA 680, VTC 700 vertical wrapper and VTI 540.
The Artic is state-of-the-art equipment suitable for a range of food, from cook-in-the-bag chicken to emerging new meat applications. The Artic will be using polyester film to make a totally hermetic sealed pillow pack and comes with complete modified atmosphere (MAP) for extended shelf life.
Another flow wrapper on display for the food sector will be the flexible Atlanta high speed biscuit packing, which has a laser cutting system for easy switching from one pack format to another. Its adaptability makes it suitable for many different sectors and applications.
