PRODUCT INNOVATIONS Soft packing
Nobody likes a bruised apple so the key to success for a trayless apple pack is to handle themwith utmost care and that’s a challenging task on a flow wrappingmachine. Redpack have developed a unique apple infeed and transfermethod that is the key to success for “Soft Packaging”, it prevents apple damage and bruising. Another success is that the apples can be in “Soldier Packs” of 4-6-8 or 10 apples without infeed change parts so collation to collation changes are fast. Speeds of 65ppmcan be achieved on the 6pack, which is a significant increase on previous packagingmethods. For more information call 01603 722280 or email

Helical bevel gear units
The new two-stage helical bevel gear units fromNORD DRIVESYSTEMS are designed as washdown versions that can be cleaned very easily – cleaning liquids wash off in all installation positions. Designed to withstand frequent intense and aggressive cleaning processes, they are equally suitable for use with acids and alkaline solutions. The gear unit housings, which aremanufactured fromdie-cast aluminum, resist corrosion considerably better than steelmodels. Through additionalmeasures, such as the innovative NSD tupH surface treatment, they can be equipped with extra protection for specific applications. The gearboxes are particularly suited for use in conveyor technology and in the food industry. For more information call 01235 534404,

Redefining surface protection
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS new NSD tupH sealed surface conversion system provides a versatile, cost effective and weight saving alternative to stainless steel gear case units for harsh environment and high hygiene drive applications. The ultra-robust finish employs a catalytic process that permanently bonds a base layer to the aluminum substrate.With no application of paint or other material, aluminum gear case surfaces are transformed with a durable protective finish that has a 6- to 7-fold increase in surface hardness. When applied to standard aluminum gear cases with suitable stainless steel hardware components, and combined with suitable sealing and lubrication systems, NORD NSD tupH treated gear units can withstand the demanding environmental conditions that are encountered in washdown and chemical cleaning treatments used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
