Packaging company Ilapak has launched a new feeding and trayless flowrapping system for apples, capable of around 80 packs per minute.
The new system combines the company’s Carrera 1000/40 flowrapper with a Burg feeding system, and was launched as a collaboration between Ilapak and Burg’s UK agent NP Seymour.
As a combined feeder and flowrapper, the new machine requires fewer operators than a conventional packaging line, allowing it to increase production efficiency.
It also has a modular design to adapt to different packhouse requirements. The system’s efficiency features include a no-product-no-bag, misplaced product detection and a 64-programme memory.
The machine can pack apples in trayless styles of four, six, eight or 10 as well as trayless packs of three or four inline. Packs can also be produced using acetate or styrene trays or cardboard skillets.
Customers benefit from a 24/7 helpline, a team of UK engineers, full spares stockholding and a technical department that is open six days a week.
