CBW Automation works to help its customers succeed. That’s certainly true for Polytainers, one of the largest manufacturers of food and dairy containers in North America. Polytainers recently launched its newest line of containers called the “Wave Series.”

Aqualene® 5050, a new, eco-friendly, water-based coating, is economical, repulpable and has high oil and grease resistance (OGR) for the paper converting, food packaging and food service industries.

Polychim is setting a new benchmark in the performance of homopolymer polypropylene (PP) in packaging applications with the launch of a new thermoforming PP offering excellent aesthetics, high quality and faster throughput to converters.

Turkey’s leading brand of mineral water, Erikli, is planning on a return on investment of only two years partnering with Sidel. Like so many other bottling companies currently, the Turkish company wanted to switch its production to PET bottles with shorter necks.

Ryson introduces the 1900-260, a high capacity spiral conveyor with a 10” wide slat surface. This model offers space saving with a smaller footprint, when throughput of the 16” and 20” wide slats is not required.

A food processor fills an average of 800 cans per minute with a wide range of products such as vegetables, fruit and soup. An important challenge for the company is ensuring that the code printed on the bottom of each can matches the product in the can. A mismatch runs the risk of creating an unhappy customer or, even worse, an allergic reaction. In the past, there were concerns that operators might accidentally set up the printer to generate the wrong code or that the printer used to apply the code on the can might fail to produce a readable code. These concerns have been overcome with the installation of a machine vision system that reads the code on the bottom of the can in just 60 milliseconds, enough time to reject cans with incorrect or unreadable codes. The vision system uses pattern matching to orient the code regardless of its radial position then uses optical character recognition to read the code and match it against the product currently being produced on the line.

BEUMER has fundamentally reengineered its high-capacity layer palletizer BEUMER paletpac. The user now benefits from better accessibility, shorter assembly period, higher flexibility and, as a result, from lower costs. The system supplier thus continues to pursue the ambitious goal of offering its customers solutions that are sustainable in every respect. The BEUMER paletpac 2500 is incorporated into high-performance packaging lines to process highly sensitive and valuable products in a gentle and efficient manner.
