They are suitable for a variety of products including mayonnaise, ketchup, cooking sauces, pickled vegetables, jams and honey.

The range is being supplied by food packing machinery manufacturer FBL Food Machinery, based in Parma, Italy, along with the firm’s range of pasteurisers and filling machines.
