SOLUTIONS from Advanced Tooling Systems’ (ATS) packaging machinery division will take centre stage when the firm debuts at this year’s PPMA TOTAL Show.
ATS designs packing equipment and complete packing lines for markets including food & drink, FMCG, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical and automotive.
Four of the company’s latest machines will be showcased at the NEC in Birmingham, demonstrating lidding and capping solutions.
The new FBL-150 jar lidding machine provides an automatic placement and tightening of metal Twist-Off (TO) and Press-on, Twist-Off (PT) closures onto glass jars and bottles with a vacuum seal. It is described as ‘ideal’ for products including mayonnaise, ketchup, cooking sauces, pickled vegetables, jams and honey, with speeds of up to 500 jars/min.
The RSC40 from ATS’s Omega range is a rotary capping machine, which can be supplied with up to 10-heads and offers speeds of up to 240bpm. ATS revealed it can accommodate both traditional magnetic clutch and advanced servo-controlled tightening technologies.
The Gemini LSC40 Linear Servo Capping machine removes the need for expensive bottle change-parts and allows the machine to be mounted over an existing conveyor system and moved between production lines. Dependant on the number of capping heads and bottle handling system selected, ATS explained production of up to 80bpm is achievable.
Also on show will be a model from the firm’s range of bottle unscramblers that allow multiple container formats to be sorted and orientated in a single machine system.
Group MD Adrian Gander said, “During the last couple of testing years, ATS has taken the decision to continue investing in both our equipment and manufacturing capabilities, and this forward-thinking strategy is now paying off, both in profitability and exposure to exciting new sectors.
“ATS Packaging Machinery is at the forefront of driving our growth. We are really looking forward to meeting new potential clients and discussing innovative solutions at this important show.”
