Ilapak
New equipment on display from Ilapak included its Delta flobag 3M flow-wrapping machine. Christian Romualdi, from Ilapack, said the machine was capable of wrapping 50-60 packs per minute and was suitable for larger pieces of meat. "The machine is easy to clean and wash down - this is what the market requests," he said. Ilapak was also promoting its new horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) Carrera 6000 fully modular flow wrapper, which can be customised to feature only the modules needed, such as auto-splicing and gusseting. While its new Delta 6000 model features the same hygienic design features as the Carrera, but incorporates a new higher-speed long-dwell sealing system for MAP applications up to 200ppm, such as meat, cheese and pizza. "We also have a new machine suitable for packing frozen hamburgers, although this isn’t on display at the show," added Romualdi.
