Total Processing and Packaging review Kliklok’s success
at total show Kliklok’s participation in the recent Total Processing & Packaging Show at the NEC last month proved to be a resounding success. The company exhibited their best-selling SFR end load cartoner, and having already installed over 60 of these machines throughout the world, it was a popular attraction in Hall 5. Visitors from several major European food producers arrived on the Kliklok stand, to see for themselves the benefits
of the Kliklok SFR machine - short footprint, patented rotary carton feeder, colour touch screen, easy size change and robust stainless steel construction. Kliklok received visitors from the UK, Turkey, Russia, Germany, Australia, and the Middle East, and were particularly pleased to catch up with many of their existing customers. The Total Show also served as the perfect opportunity for Kliklok to showcase their machinery range to new, growing companies looking to automate production lines in the future.

Elevated speed for MAP serves
high volume food Italian manufacturer PFM Packaging Machinery is launching what is believed to one of the world's fastest bagging machines for modified atmosphere packaging, opening up the shelf life advantages of MAP economically to a wider range of high volume food products. "Continued growth in extended shelf life products throughout Europe has driven demand for faster and more productive machinery," explains PFM sales and operations director Chris Bolton. "PFM's response has been to lift MAP bagging speed by more than 40 per cent." Capable of producing MAP packs at speeds up to 250 minute, the new PFM Supernova vertical form-fill-seal machine joins PFM's current high speed MAP bagger, the Comet, introduced in 2008 and capable of 170 bags a minute. The new machine is aimed at high volume food products such as cheese, pasta, snacks and bakery items that require extended shelf life and derives its high speed MAP capability from electronic and mechanical enhancements, including a new design of rotary sealing jaw.
