With AUSPACK less than five weeks away now is the time to start planning your visit to the premier packaging and processing exhibition in Australia. Whether it is the latest in LEAN powder handling, cartridge and syringe packaging or seeing the latest in curved conveyors AUSPACK has something for everyone.
LEAN powder handling
On stand 321 Matcon will be showcasing a scale model of a lean, flexible powder processing factory, demonstrating how IBCs are used to transport material between manufacturing steps, so that each of the process stages are operating in parallel.
Their 1B discharger valve will also be on show. Designed for fitting to silos and hoppers to equip them with cone valve technology, their discharger valve promotes a controlled and accurate discharge of even the most challenging materials, from free-flowing to cohesive, and remains completely dust-tight.
The Matcon IBC system is ideal for those manufacturers that have a portfolio of products that are high in variety or contain allergens. The ability to blend without cleaning between recipe changes and the flexibility to send IBCs to whichever packing line is ready, means that manufacturing flow is optimised and output maximised, providing a good return-on-investment.
Cartridge and syringe packaging
As one of the leading suppliers of packaging and equipment, accessories and process techniques for the filling and application of sealants, adhesives, coatings, and chemicals, Svenic Australia will be displaying their contract filling service and their cartridge and syringe packaging range on stand 680.
General manager Peter Coundouris and technical manager Vince Patten will be on hand during the four days to discuss Svenic applications. Manufacturers of sealants, adhesives, coatings and foams, as well as veterinary, dental, consumer and human health markets will have specific interest in visiting the Svenic stand.
Debut solution for curved conveyor
APPMA member Intralox will be debuting its latest conveyance breakthrough on stand 150. Intralox is the first company to partner with equipment manufacturers to allow them to design and fabricate zero-tangent curve conveyors.
The Series S2100 Zero Tangent Radius flat top belt will be launched at AUSPACK and is designed specifically for curved conveyance, free of straight sections, maximising all available space. The S2100 features a smooth, closed-top surface that can handle a variety of package sizes, types, and configurations, including delicate products (e.g. packages immediately exiting a shrink wrapper). The new belt is able to maintain product orientation and spacing through its curves and its compact design provides flexibility, simplifying layout design and conveyor installation.
The 315 AUSPACK exhibitors – including 80 internationals and 67 APPMA member companies – represent over 1200 brands showcasing new and innovative processing and packaging machinery. Register to attend today by visiting www.auspack.com.au
AUSPACK is owned and presented by the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA), Australia’s only national packaging and processing machinery organisation.
