Collaboration results in new food packaging system
Automated Packaging Systems, is collaborating with Middlesex-based Aja to develop in-line weighing for the FAS SPrint Revolution™ food bagging system. Designed to cater to small or medium volume businesses with multiple lines, irregular or hard to handle products, the system offers an efficient, easy to clean packaging system, ideally suited for applications that require regular wash down.
“By working with Aja and adding weighing capabilities to the FAS SPrint Revolution we can offer significant benefits to food packers” explains Malcolm Vale, food sales manager, Automated Packaging Systems. “The full system will increase throughputs compared to conventional methods and also allow product give-away to be reduced by accurate weighing.”
“Our aim, as always, is to increase productivity for our customers. With this collaboration we are not only demonstrating that we understand packaging needs but we are providing customers with a total packaging system,” comments Mr Vale.
Aja specialises in weighing and IT solutions for food packers, food processors and suppliers to UK Supermarkets, focussing on automation and raw material optimisation for hardware and software based systems.
Visitors to the 2014 Foodex exhibition will be the first to see the new system in action; visit stand H290.
