Bagmaker combines fast production speeds

A new bagmaker combines fast production speeds with a range of configurations, providing userswith a versatile form, fill and seal machine, its manufacturer claims.

Kliklok Woodman says its new KWest bagmaker can produce up to 100 bags per minute. The vertical machine has an extra-wide 380mm bag size range in multiple configurations. The KWest is designed with intermittent motion and standard stainless steel construction to cater for a wide variety of cold food applications.

The machine can be configured to produce conventional pillow pouch, machine applied re-close zippers, true block bottom orquad-seal stand-up packages.

"The KWest will re-define what refridgerated and frozen food packagers come to expect from a verticalbagmaker," stated Graham Holbrook, the company's general sales manager. "Its enormous bag size range, package style flexibility, intuitive interface and user-friendly nature provide the KWest bagmaker with a significant competitive advantage over VFFS (verticial form-fill-seal) equipment from other manufacturers."
