Looking back to PACK EXPO International last November, it was clear by walking the show floor that filling and closing is a category that knows no bounds. With greater flexibility, higher speeds and additional capabilities, packagers have various choices to fill, close and seal their products.
According to Mark Lozano, sales manager at tna (tnasolutions.com), one of the main things that the company is witnessing in the sector is an increased level of speed and automation. Some packaging systems in this category are now capable of achieving up to 250 bags per minute. However, when operating at speeds of over 200 bags per minute it’s not just about achieving faster throughputs, but also about product integrity.
