PiP does U-turn for the better Process, Pack & Track Food North Cost savings and increased efficiency in product handling can be made thanks to modifications to the Streamfeeder ST 1250 card feeder. Developed by Partners in Packaging (PiP) and to be unveiled at PPT Food North the addition of specially designed “ploughs” fitted to the feeders allow flat base cards to be formed into U-Cards at the feeding stage. |

To round off the PiP offering is the Etipack Original 1.3 precision labeller that applies labels up to 130 mm wide at speeds of up to 50 metres/minute.

“This means costly adaptations to the infeed of flowrappers to form U-Cards will become a thing of the past," explains Duncan Macintyre, managing director, PiP. Demonstrations
of ST 1250 utilising the modification will highlight both the potential cost
savings and the increased efficiency of product handling to be made by
forming U-Cards at the time of product placement. "This is an exciting development that we are confident will be well received by the food industry,” said Macintyre.
The ST1250 is simple to mount on or over a variety of wrapping machines and is suitable for feeding items such as flat U cards and C cards at high speed with incredible accuracy and reliability. |
