MEYPACK PRESENTS OPTIMISED<br />
PACKAGING MACHINE SOLUTIONS AT THE<br />
INTERPACK 2008<br />
At <strong>the</strong> interpack 2008, <strong>the</strong> Westphalian<br />
machine manufacturing specialist<br />
<strong>Meypack</strong> will be highlighting its concepts<br />
to guarantee <strong>the</strong> highest possible<br />
fl exibility through automation and it<br />
will be demonstrating its popular FTS-B-<br />
HD 32 bag closing machine with its new<br />
pneumatics.<br />
At its trade fair<br />
stand, <strong>Meypack</strong> will<br />
be exhibiting its<br />
VP 501 case packer<br />
equipped with fully<br />
auto matic adjustment<br />
points. This machine is<br />
designed to process shaped bottles made<br />
<strong>of</strong> plastic, PET and HDPE. The machine<br />
can process up to seven different bottles<br />
– and that in more than 20 formats. The<br />
machine’s strengths lie in its special lane<br />
dividing system designed specifi cally for<br />
shaped bottles as well in <strong>the</strong> controlled<br />
guiding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> products from <strong>the</strong> infeed<br />
all <strong>the</strong> way up to <strong>the</strong> packing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> products<br />
in <strong>the</strong> wrap-around cases. The fully<br />
automatic format adjustments enable fast<br />
and precise machine changeovers. Thanks<br />
to <strong>the</strong> fully automatic changeovers, <strong>the</strong><br />
saved formats and adjustment values can<br />
be reliably and accurately reproduced<br />
time and again. There are also innovations<br />
in <strong>Meypack</strong>’s bag closing technol-<br />
<strong>Meypack</strong> palletisers<br />
for <strong>the</strong> “Deutsche SiSi<br />
Werke” from WILD<br />
To <strong>the</strong> beat: The PKO’s servo-motorised turning station<br />
Two palletising solutions – a PKO and<br />
a PK 110 – were installed by <strong>Meypack</strong> for<br />
two packaging lines at <strong>the</strong> “Deutsche SiSi<br />
Werke” in Heidelberg, Germany. At an<br />
output <strong>of</strong> 6,000 single packets per hour,<br />
packets <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> well-known children’s fruit<br />
juice drink brand, Capri-Sonne®, are fed<br />

ogy. The popular FTS-B-HD 32 has been<br />
re-engineered to simplify cleaning and<br />
maintenance. This machine continuously<br />
closes multi-layered paper bags using <strong>the</strong><br />
proven FTS technique. The machine now<br />
has improved electronics and pneumatics.<br />
In addition, <strong>the</strong> cable and hose guides<br />
have been overhauled and re-arranged,<br />
which facilitates care, cleaning and maintenance.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> interpack 2008, <strong>the</strong> FTS-B-<br />
HD 32 will display its fl exibility by closing<br />
strippable bags.<br />
into <strong>the</strong> machine lying<br />

<strong>the</strong> products are <strong>the</strong>n multipacked<br />
and palletised onto Euro pallets,<br />
