applicator allows a combination of zip and gusset options that were not previously achievable, and it offers additional options for pouch functionality and provides new opportunities for pouch styles. It is also very efficient, producing
seal quality at high operating speeds, thanks to an accurate repeat length control, not seen on other systems. The applicator can be used to apply a variation of Elplast EL-ZIP products, from simple single-track zips, to functional triple-track variants. Elplast Group president, Marcin
Pawelak, comments: “Elplast is more than just a zip supplier, as this partnership demonstrates. Our experienced insight into what makes a ‘best in class’ applicator comes from our unique position as zip producers, and we are delighted

he difficulty with Corona treatment is that most converters know they need it, but don’t know whether they are using it correctly. Now, the inventors of Corona, Vetaphone, have come up with a solution
that will make every converter’s life easier – a testing machine. The iCorona Film Tester 1000/600 is designed to analyse the amount of surface treatment required for any given substrate before the job is started, to ensure perfect print quality. Every film has specific surface characteristics, so it is essential to determine the correct Corona dosage
(Watt/sqm/min) to create the right adhesion level (dyn/cm). Test 1 is a simple RED 38 dyn pen. Test 2 creates exact material curves for polymer based films to ensure the correct treatment level is applied. Test 3 creates wetting characteristics for a specific film surface to verify that the chosen ink will match the job, film type, and desired quality.

that Totani used our knowledge for its pouch making machines. “Our business can take on the role
of technical partner in terms of application technology with confidence and we are happy to work independently or share our knowledge directly with original equipment manufacturers.” Elplast Group
originated as a small, family-run Polish food packer in the late 1990’s. The company ventured into zip press to close manufacturing due to a frustration in the lack of quality zip products in Europe. Originally, Elplast aimed for self-sufficient manufacturing, however major brands appreciated the high level of quality and service, enabling the business to branch out.

ROTRONIChas launched its environmental temperature and humidity monitoring system (RMS)
T
his checks, documents and visualises all the required measurements
in one system. The data can be retrieved anywhere, at any time using a PC, MAC, tablet or smartphone. The system offers the highest level of performance, flexibility and versatility. The RMS software stores all recorded
measurements, data and events securely for retrieval remotely with integration into 3rd party systems if required. Alerts and warnings can be generated. The RMS data loggers transmit data to the software via wireless or LAN communication. RMS is a modular system; components can be added easily to extend its functionality. Other parameters from 3rd party sensors can be incorporated. The monitoring system is ideal for companies throughout industry, as well as organisations of all types. Contact ROTRONIC to discuss your project or application. T: +44 (0)1293 571000 E:
