SPECIALIST individual end-packaging solutions provider Meypack is set to use this year’s Anuga FoodTec event to showcase a variation of the VP600 machine used for packing sensitive liquid food pouches.
The firm said its new innovation can process small packages “extremely gently yet simultaneously at high capacity”.
A demonstration featuring pudding pouches from Polish manufacturer Bakoma SA can be seen at the trade fair stand in Cologne from March 20-23.
Meypack added that the food industry needs machines that can process small products in small formations within a small space. “This is exactly what the newly developed VP600 is able to do,” the firm said. “With its extremely compact machine footprint, this continuous motion machine fits in nearly every production facility.
“In a fully automatic process, the machine packs formats ranging in dimension from 70 x 50 x 80 mm up to 200 x 150 x 200 mm (W x L x H). To demonstrate this, Meypack will be packing children’s snacks from Bakoma SA, a Polish manufacturer, at the Anuga. The 80 gram pudding pouches which are sealed with screw caps (80 x 132 x 30) will be packed in single rows of 1 x 4 formations into small trays with lids.”
