that prevent sparks by reducing current loads. The HEM Series Linear Scale can also be used for o<strong>the</strong>r types of pellezed, granular<br />
or powder products, and can be adapted to semi-automac or fully integrated high speed lines. It can handle fills from 8 oz. to 20<br />
lbs., with less than .5 gm. average giveaway at 5 lbs. and 10–12 weighments/head/min. It features a color touch-screen interface<br />
for PC or PLC control systems. – RCC<br />

Rotary Cup Filler/Sealer Runs Ei<strong>the</strong>r Foil & Non-Foil Lidstock<br />
The servo-driven NAP R-2x3 Rotary Filler/Sealer from NAP Engineering fills and seals preformed cups with foil,<br />
laminate or poly lidstock, and was shown simultaneously running foil and micro-perfed poly lidding materials,<br />
making it one of few machines that can do both without modificaon. Capable of handling cup diameters up to<br />
89 mm, <strong>the</strong> machine runs six-up at 40 indexes/minute to achieve throughput of 240 cups/minute. The six heads<br />
fill <strong>the</strong> same product or up to six flavors, and adding a second filling staon will make layered product possible. A<br />
cup restocking system allows <strong>the</strong> operator to replenish cup stacks without stopping <strong>the</strong> machine. Priced at less<br />
than $150,000, <strong>the</strong> compact machine requires only 50 x 50 inches of floor space (without conveyor). Enclosing<br />
gears and ming belts and eliminang chains minimize me and expense related to lubricaon. – HEF<br />

Lid/Label Provides Reclosability Without Membrane Seal<br />
The rotary MR-35 Filler/Sealer from ORICS denests, fills, seals and overcaps cups/tubs at a maximum rate of 30/minute. Compa-ble<br />
with a variety of container diameters and volumes, <strong>the</strong> compact, 36 x 36-inch machine demonstrated at PACK EXPO combined<br />
<strong>the</strong> sealing/overcapping funcon. The custom lid placer and seal head applies 1-Seal Lids, an integrated closure/seal technology<br />

developed by Spartech Packaging Technologies. The one-piece, injecon-molded, polypropylene lid/label elimi-nates<br />
<strong>the</strong> need for separate, removable foil or film membranes and provides reclosability. Heat-tolerant, micro-wavable,<br />
freezer-to-microwave ready, <strong>the</strong> 1-Seal Lid is recyclable in programs that accept polypropylene. – HEF<br />

Tabletop Cup Sealers Address Low-Volume Needs<br />
At least two exhibitors demonstrated tabletop machines to address lower-volume cup sealing needs.<br />
The dual-head SC-1350 lidding applicator, <strong>the</strong> latest SealMAX Sealer from Teinnovaons Inc.<br />
features one-, two- or three-up sealing at speeds of 40 cups/minute. Programmable logic con-trol<br />
and a touch screen operator interface simplify operaon and help accomplish changeover<br />
in three to four minutes. Container opons include crystallized polyethylene terephthalate<br />
(CPET) cups/tubs with proprietary mullayer PET-based film lidstock for products desned for<br />
high pressure pasteurizaon. Suitable for <strong>the</strong> home meal replacement market, machines can be<br />
configured for modified atmosphere packaging with or without vacuum. Teinnovaons also<br />
supplies high- and low-barrier lidding film compable with CPET, polypropylene, high-density<br />
polyethylene, PET, paper or aluminum containers. Film combines seal strength with peelability<br />
and can be printed rotogravure in up to eight colors.<br />
The IPS system from Integrity Machine Services replaces tradional pick-and-place with an in-verted<br />
punch-and-seal operaon. Punching and sealing in one moon minimizes moving parts<br />
and boosts maximum speed to 40 cups/minute. The model shown featured standard steel with a stainless steel coang, but ma-chines<br />
can be built of stainless steel. Model opons include manual, semiautomac and automac. – HEF<br />
