14 that prevent sparks by reducing current loads. The HEM Series Linear Scale can also be used for other types of pellezed, granular 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 lbs., with less than .5 gm. average giveaway at 5 lbs. and 10–12 weighments/head/min. It features a color touch-screen interface for PC or PLC control systems. – RCC More informaon Ruben Barajas, industry manager, 636.926.8415, barajasr@parsons-eagle.com. Rotary Cup Filler/Sealer Runs Either Foil & Non-Foil Lidstock The servo-driven NAP R-2x3 Rotary Filler/Sealer from NAP Engineering fills and seals preformed cups with foil, laminate or poly lidstock, and was shown simultaneously running foil and micro-perfed poly lidding materials, making it one of few machines that can do both without modificaon. Capable of handling cup diameters up to 89 mm, the machine runs six-up at 40 indexes/minute to achieve throughput of 240 cups/minute. The six heads fill the same product or up to six flavors, and adding a second filling staon will make layered product possible. A cup restocking system allows the operator to replenish cup stacks without stopping the machine. Priced at less than $150,000, the compact machine requires only 50 x 50 inches of floor space (without conveyor). Enclosing gears and ming belts and eliminang chains minimize me and expense related to lubricaon. – HEF More informaon Paul DeSocio, chairman and president, NAP Engineering: 727.235.5902; paul@napengineering.com www.napengineering.com Lid/Label Provides Reclosability Without Membrane Seal The rotary MR-35 Filler/Sealer from ORICS denests, fills, seals and overcaps cups/tubs at a maximum rate of 30/minute. Compa-ble with a variety of container diameters and volumes, the compact, 36 x 36-inch machine demonstrated at PACK EXPO combined the sealing/overcapping funcon. The custom lid placer and seal head applies 1-Seal Lids, an integrated closure/seal technology MR-35 Filler/ Sealer from ORICS PACK EXPO INT’L 2012 developed by Spartech Packaging Technologies. The one-piece, injecon-molded, polypropylene lid/label elimi-nates the need for separate, removable foil or film membranes and provides reclosability. Heat-tolerant, micro-wavable, freezer-to-microwave ready, the 1-Seal Lid is recyclable in programs that accept polypropylene. – HEF More informaon Ori Cohen, president, ORICS: 718.461.8613, ext. 103; ori_cohen@orics.com; www.orics.com Jeffrey Best, director of Markeng – Packaging Technologies: 314.569.7466; jeffrey.best@spartech.com; www.spartech.com Tabletop Cup Sealers Address Low-Volume Needs At least two exhibitors demonstrated tabletop machines to address lower-volume cup sealing needs. The dual-head SC-1350 lidding applicator, the latest SealMAX Sealer from Teinnovaons Inc. features one-, two- or three-up sealing at speeds of 40 cups/minute. Programmable logic con-trol and a touch screen operator interface simplify operaon and help accomplish changeover in three to four minutes. Container opons include crystallized polyethylene terephthalate (CPET) cups/tubs with proprietary mullayer PET-based film lidstock for products desned for high pressure pasteurizaon. Suitable for the home meal replacement market, machines can be configured for modified atmosphere packaging with or without vacuum. Teinnovaons also supplies high- and low-barrier lidding film compable with CPET, polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, PET, paper or aluminum containers. Film combines seal strength with peelability and can be printed rotogravure in up to eight colors. The IPS system from Integrity Machine Services replaces tradional pick-and-place with an in-verted punch-and-seal operaon. Punching and sealing in one moon minimizes moving parts and boosts maximum speed to 40 cups/minute. The model shown featured standard steel with a stainless steel coang, but ma-chines can be built of stainless steel. Model opons include manual, semiautomac and automac. – HEF More informaon Allison Becker, logiscs manager, Teinnovaons: 630.393.0012; info@sealfilm.com or www.sealfilm.com Jason Manderbach, sales manager, Integrity Machine Services: 989.386.0216; jasonm@imsmachines.net; www.imsmachines.net. Closures/Fitments Enhance SUP Functionality NAP R-2x3 Rotary Filler/Sealer from N.A.P. Engineering SC-1350 lidding applicator, the latest SealMAX Sealer from Teinnovaons Inc. (le); IPS system from Integrity Machine Services (right) The shape of the Clover Choke Proof Cap from IPN USA Corp. allows a pouch to rest on the closure and stand upright. Its tamperevident, kid-friendly design is sized for easy gripping and is too big for a toddler to swallow. It’s also designed to be paired with the Clean Spout 85R fitment spout., which has an 8.5 mm inner diameter to dispense viscous baby food and purees. IPN injecon
IPN USA Corp.’s Clean Valve fitment (le) and Clover Choke-Proof Cap (right) molds the caps and fitments in polypropylene for retort applicaons and polyethylene for hot-fill applicaons. For single-serving pouches of asepc liquids, a silicone valve inside a 5mm-diameter Clean Valve fitment prevents leakage even if the pouch falls on its side or is squeezed. The first applicaon comes from Dutch company Roosvicee, using it for asepc fruit juice in a 200- milliliter stand-up pouch. A tamper-evident, easy-open cap keeps the spout clean, and ro-tates a knurled mechanism that acvates a piercing mechanism to provide access to the product when inially opened. – HEF More informaon Luis De la Mora, president – Markeng & Sales, IPN USA Corp.:770.631.2626; L.delamora@ipnusa.com or www.ipn-group.com. Pre-Formed Pouches Fill Faster on Multi-Lane Machine The high-speed, mul-lane Dosomat filling machine from Waldner of Wangen, Germany (represented in the Americas by Packaging Technologies and Inspecon, LLC,) fills and ultrasonically seals up to 1,200 preformed, stand-up pouches/minute. With pins holding lanes of pouches vercally, rows index two at a me through denesng, inspecng, filling, gas flushing and ultrasonic sealing. The system accommodates up to three filling heads (liquid, parculates, top-off) and two sealing heads, ultrasonic with oponal cos-mec heat sealing. Servo-driven system handles hot-fill or asepc fill volumes from 25 grams to #10 can equivalent. – HEF More informaon Jeffrey Crangle, general manager, PTI Packaging Systems: 914.337.2005; j.crangle@pusa.com; www.ppacktech.com. Pulsed Light Sterilizers Run Cups, Bottle Closures Fowler Products Co. showed two units that sterilize cups or bole closures. Both offer dry, online steriliza-‐ on of cups or bole closures without using chemicals. Instead, the sterilizers use mulple high-intensity pulsed light lamps that produce the whole spectrum of visible light to kill bacteria and mold. The Fraunho-fer–Gesellscha Instute (Berlin & Munich, Germany) conducted biological efficacy tests of the pulsed light sterilizaon units. The Lamps are water-cooled, and Fowler Products claims their efficacy is greater than a five-log reducon for the cup unit and three-to-five log reducon or more for bacteria and mold in the bole closure unit. Efficacy is based on the number of pulsed flashes and the number of lights in the unit. The company has one bole-capping unit designed to sterilize 90,000 caps/hour. – EJB More informaon Tucker Scofield, machinery sales, Fowler Products Co.: 706.549.3300 Ext.. 197; tscofield@fowlerproducts.com. Spouted & Handled Pouch Targets Pet Products Printpack Inc. introduced a novel pouch for pet products, a patented design that is extremely convenient for handling and dispens-ing. The pouch ulizes a range of barrier materials designed to preserve pet food flavors and the aroma of scented cat liers, while protecng the products from outside moisture and odors. The threaded fitment closure makes it easy for the consumer to access the product, and it preserves product freshness aer open-ing. A handle fabricated into the pouch improves the ease of handling and dispensing and complements the pour spout fitment. It offers greatly improved sustainability over rigid containers. — EJB More informaon Tom Seidel, director, Printpack Inc.: 404.460.7440, tseidel@printpack.com. Pouch & Fitment Combo Makes Painting Easier On the heels of its acquision of Nordenia USA, Mondi displayed a wide variety of pouches and fitments at PACK EXPO, including a pouch/fitment combinaon for interior or exterior paint. Together, the fitment and handle, which are both built into the pouch, make handling, dispensing and reclosing the paint container less cumbersome. The fitment also keeps air out of the pouch. Company representaves called the package a big improvement over the tradional paint can for ease of handling and dispensing. — EJB More informaon Chris Davis, markeng coordinator, Mondi Group: 573.331.7269; chris.davis@mondigroup.com Robert M.
