REDPACK SUPPLY TWO MORE HTS FLOW WRAPPING MACHINES


Redpack have won another major contract for two of their HTS Top Seal flow wrapping machines. The two HTS machines, one left hand and one right hand will be supplied with product conveyering and will be configured to wrap Polyolefin shrink film. Part of the supply includes an important new development; an integrated check weighing system that will take the place of the flow wrapping machine product outfeed, an arrangement that will greatly reduce the space


requirement of the flow wrapping lines. The Redpack supply will include product conveyors from the loading operators through the flow wrapping machines and will also convey the wrapped product to Redpack supplied shrink wrapping tunnels. Set onto the wrapped product conveyor will be a reject station to remove out of weight product from the line. For more information call 01603 722280 or email sales@redpack.co.uk.
