During a recent upgrade of their previous packaging line, one food development company discovered significant improvements in usability and flexibility.\u00a0\u00a0In addition, they experienced further benefits from discussing the whole project with us, as their chosen suppliers.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n
The Challenge – flexibility needed<\/span><\/h5>\n

\u201cThe company\u2019s previous line had been purchased from YPS some considerable time ago and has served them well, with extensive use,\u201d explained our MD, Glyn Johnson.\u00a0 \u201cIt had come time for the company to replace it and, as they\u2019d appreciated the service and support we delivered last time, they returned to discuss their new requirements with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company produces bespoke baked goods, with a focus on ingredients with nutritional benefit.\u00a0 As their products are developed and created on behalf of other food companies, there is a wide variety in finished size of product.\u00a0 Packaging requirements such as collations required and materials used, including branded and non-branded films, are all defined by the onward customer to their own needs.<\/p>\n

The Solution – automated l-sealer<\/span><\/h5>\n

Full discussions of their requirements followed by demonstrations of the latest models led the company to opt for a Pratika MPE X2 fully-automatic l-sealer, plus a new shrink tunnel and conveyor.<\/p>\n

Key to their decision was the ease of use of the new l-sealer, especially the simple way to save recipes for different products.\u00a0 This feature of the new line makes for quick and easy changeovers, vital when their product range includes such differing items.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the HMI is especially user friendly, with 180\u00b0 movement so it can be positioned for the operator\u2019s convenience.\u00a0 The HMI is paired with the compatible shrink tunnel for total control of the whole operation from the same spot.\u00a0 The low-level film holder, batwing doors and extended infeed conveyor make loading of film and products much safer and easier.<\/p>\n

The versatility of the l-sealer, including its height adjustable sealing jaw, has proved ideal for the variety in the producer\u2019s range and is also significantly quicker than the previous line, delivering improvements in production speed.<\/p>\n

To complete the package, YPS helped the customer to specify an appropriate film for optimal performance of the system.\u00a0 The film selected contains 30% recycled content and is ultra-thin for savings in plastic use.<\/p>\n

The Result – faster and more flexible<\/span><\/h5>\n

\u201cThe customer is delighted with the equipment supplied, which delivers more benefit than they\u2019d originally hoped for,\u201d stated Glyn.\u00a0 \u201cThe included service contract also gives them peace of mind that they can get to grips with the new system with our support.\u00a0 It was a pleasure to work with them again and to find a solution that has helped to move their production forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
