Double sided web processing made possible S
upply, installation and repair specialist, CP Automation, has announced the new Re WG
Reverse web guiding system for the converting industry. Designed for double-sided processing and precise web alignment, these compact systems will help converters to process both sides of the web at once, in less footprint. Normally, double-sided processing of
a web, such as printing on both sides of paper, required two distinct processing systems of unwinding, printing and rewinding. However, two separate web guiding systems require more space and used more energy than one compact system. The new WG Reverse guiding system
from Re now makes it possible to process both sides of the material in one compact system, whether the material is foil, paper, tissue or film. The diagonal bars of the system are chrome-plated and micro- perforated to generate a cushion of air
needed to turn the web, without causing damage to the web surface. CP Automation can supply two model
variants to customers, the first being the Reverse 180. This model is for 180-degree web turning on linear applications such as flexographic or rotogravure machines. The second variation, the Reverse 90, offers 90- degree web turning. In this system, the rewinder is perpendicular to the unwinding station. The WG Reverse web guiding system can
be used with infrared, optical or ultrasonic sensors to detect the web edge precisely, to align the web position throughout the entire turning and processing time span. “This new product launch is set to help
many of our existing customers in the converting industry, as well as many new customers who may not realise double- sided web processing is now an option,” explained Tony Young, director of CP Automation. “Footprint is a major factor in the converting industry, so a machine that can combine two processes into one is set to be very well received.” “The launch of the WG Reverse web guiding systems also reinforces our long- standing business partnership with Re, a business that continually sets the pace in the converting sector. Providing this highly sensitive and precise web control in this strategic partnership, we save converting businesses time and money by reducing scrap material.”

of an innovative new system designed to help packaging firms maintain their vital BRCGS certification. BRCGS' standards guarantee
safety, quality, safety and operational criteria and are designed to ensure that manufacturers fulfil their legal obligations and provide protection for consumers. Packaging firms are expected to comply with the BRCGS standards and the new “Issue 6” which has seen changes to the key health and safety requirements related to packaging and packaging materials. Progrex has launched a new
integrated tool, called BRC Gap Analysis – Packaging Materials. The software is basically a gap analysis tool which will audit the business to provide an oversight of potential issues which will cause problems with certification, so companies can take corrective action. Sharon Xuereb, business
development manager from Progrex says: “BRCGS Issue 6 is an updated standard that has just come out and we are expecting

New software launched for packaging industry P
rogrex, a leading soſtware developer based in the North West has announced the launch
it will add further challenges for firms, who already find the process of applying for the BRCGS often complicated and time consuming. “The new software we’ve developed is designed to make this process easier and
takes users through a list of questions and through this Q&A process will assess where you currently are in terms of BRCGS compliance, and where there are areas where you are falling short, so you can identify them easily and assign tasks to get them corrected.” She adds: “The new product is
designed to take the headache out of BRCGS process and ensure that when you do apply for certification you can be confident you’ll pass and the whole process will go smoothly.” The solution is based on
BRCGS Packaging Materials Issue 6. Each gap analysis question corresponds directly to the sections and clauses and includes special, labelled clauses indicated where the standard has been amended since Issue 5, so businesses can identify these areas in particular where they’ll need to update their own standards and services. The solution gives users a detailed overview of gaps needed to be addressed and through the software you can also generate detailed reports, input tasks and assign responsibilities.
