Packaging manufacturer Ilapak has introduced a stainless steel version of its electronic flow-wrapper, the Carrera 500 PC.

Ilapak claim the new model is suitable for even the most hostile production line environments where potentially corrosive cleaning products are used.

The Carrera 500 PC has a range of electronic features including the ability to avoid bagging without a product and change sizes automatically. In addition it has rotary sealing jaws which Ilapak claim will enable smaller food manufacturers to match the pack quality usually associated with larger companies operating more expensive equipment.

It is already used in the bakery industry and can boast production speeds of up to 100 packs a minute, easy operation and maintenance, and reliability, according to the manufacturer.
