corrugated industry and has recently invested in robust machinery to ensure a long and prosperous future for the company. The Redline was successfully installed within a matter of days ensuring that Fast-Pak Packaging were in production instantly with a good understanding of all the features available - pre-loader, automatic feeder, triple action stripping, grip edge removal and pallet delivery. Fast-Pak Packaging managing
director, David Leighton said, “The Redline is proving to be an exceptional investment for the company with speeds of up to 3,000 sheets per hour. Due to its additional features, we now have a fully stripped and delivered product instead of having to hand feed/strip/re-stack the pile. “We are extremely happy with the speed in which Diecut UK have processed the order and communicated with me through each building stage, shipping stage and finally the swift installation including the removal of our old machinery which the Redline replaced.”

of Diecut UK added, “It is great to see that David is getting the benefits associated with our Redline as I knew he would. The Redline isn’t just for the corrugated industry, it has the capability to cut all grades of corrugated board, all

grades of display board, box board, ridged PVCs and plastics. The benefit of having a retractable feeding section means that any tricky substrates can be fed by hand and most other jobs can be set to continuous feed.” The Redline comes in six standard sizes
consisting of many different types of features and options from high pile to heated beds with operation speeds of nearly 4,000 sheets per hour.

Local food, aggregate and agricultural packers and manufacturers were given a recent opportunity to see a 25m2
automated packing line in operation.
Pacepacker Services opened its doors for a one day exclusive which included live demonstrations of the latest robotic technology available to UK bulk handling producers. With investment within automation on the rise, over 40 Essex-based product manufacturers attended the open day event to see first-hand how Pacepacker’s systems can bring greater efficiency and speed to their packing facilities. Specifically designed for a global chemical
company, the production line on show was built within a newly constructed grain store for pre- installation testing at Pacepacker’s Great Bardfield manufacturing site. This service echoes Pacepacker’s award winning ‘Try Before You Buy’
facility which allows customers to run product trials on its systems in a bid to de-risk the equipment procurement process and instil customer confidence before they place their order.
