SHRINK, STRETCH & PACKAGING MACHINERY Makro appoint service engineer
Richard Portman, managing director of Makro Labelling UK Ltd has appointed a full time service engineer to cover the UK, Ireland and Northern European markets. Carl Gatrell joins Makro Labelling UK with over twenty years experience in the bottling industry. He is a fully qualified mechanical, electrical, electronic and PLC conversant engineer and has held a number of posts within the drinks and food sector, the last of which was at Quinn Glass in Cheshire. Carl said of his appointment, "I am joining Makro at a very exciting time, with many new machines already installed in the UK and others due in shortly. I have had to hit the ground running after my induction training course at the Makro factory in Italy and having worked on a number of labelling machines over the years I can fully understand why these Makro machines are proving to be so popular.” Richard Portman said of the appointment: "Trying to find the right person with the up-to-date qualifications took time, but with an ever growing list of contracted service agreements not only for Makro but other makes of labelling machines, I wanted to be sure I got the right person to join the UK team. The start of the year has produced some major service contracts for leading UK food companies and two companies in Ireland, so busy times ahead." For more information call 01283 712720 or visit

Complementing KBA
Following their £3.5m KBA litho press investment in 2010, CRP Print & Packaging has announced a further investment of an Apollo FK Sheeter from MarquipWardUnited. The equipment will be installed at the company’s Corby site in April. Together with a fast order processing set-up, the sheeter allows for greater production flexibility, with local sheeting fed direct from roll stock. Delivering a cut sheet/squareness accuracy of ±0.5mm, materials can be sheeted up to a 1650x2000 size and prepared to the highest and most economic standards prior to printing. The sheeter is also fitted with a sensitive materials package to enable careful handling of specialist paper. A low maintenance requirement, combined with a state-of- the-art dust and waste extraction system and a remote dial-in diagnostic facility, complete the package. “As with all our investments they need to make a step change for our customers and the broader market,” said CRP’s Tom Lindop.

snack bowls After seeing Kliklok’s Certiwrap C150 sleeving machine at last year’s Interpack Show, Brazilian food company Adria Alimentos decided it was the right machine for their plant in Sau Paulo. Specialising in biscuit & pasta products, Adria needed an automatic sleeving solution for their new range of microwavable pasta snack bowls. For this application, Kliklok designed the C150 with a servo driven SCROLL infeed system, ideal for the smooth transfer of round tubs or bowls, and capable of sleeving up to 150 bowls per minute. With the benefits of icon-based HMI touch screen controls, patented rotary carton feeder, powered carton hopper, and quick size change facility – the C150 provides the reliability and flexibility that Adria needs for their growing range of products, as well as the reassurance of continual production efficiency, with minimal downtime, reduced maintenance and low running costs. This latest installation is another success for Kliklok’s best selling Certiwrap range, chosen by a number of global food companies to sleeve a variety of products such as ready meals, pizzas, dessert pots, and ice cream tubs, handling many different carton styles and shapes.
