Automation company Machine Service A+P Service from Jork has launched a new banding machine, in cooperation with Swiss company ATS Tanner. The so-called US-2000 makes it possible to set both fixed and variable banderole lengths, so that the banding of different goods is possible without changing the machine. For this reason, this technology can not only to be used with elongated objects such as asparagus, but also for other formats in the industry.
Flexible, mobile and economical
Key benefits of the US-2000 include simple, largely automatic loading and great performance. The loading is done manually, but then the process is started by a photocell or foot pedal. The device has an integrated thermal transfer printer, so data can be flexibly printed on the banderole; data such as daily changing lot numbers and EAN codes. The application of a separate logo is possible, depending on the customer, as A+P emphasizes. Various programs can be stored on and retrieved directly from the device.
The system uses ultrasonic cold welding, in which the closing unit does not come into contact with the goods and the packed products can not be harmed. In addition to the aforementioned elongated vegetables, it would also be possible to bandage apples on trays or closed boxes with berries and the like. It is all done with care for the produce, in an appealing and promotionally splendid way, as the successful A+P tests have already shown. The machine allows the banding of soft, hard and delicate products in the fruit and vegetable sector.
The banderols are available in different materials (paper and PP film), colours and widths. Banderols can also be made individually according to customer requirements, with or without layout. The management of the company is convinced of the flexibility, mobility, economy and ease of use of its devices.
