SEE® is bringing packaging automation to Empack this year, as it continues to support companies in optimising packaging throughput and efficiencies.
The packaging manufacturer’s AUTOBAG® brand range of solutions will be taking centre stage on stand B96, including its latest innovation, AUTOBAG® brand AB850SP. The compact system is designed to run all-paper, recycle-ready bags and incorporates high resolution printing of shipping labels directly onto the bags.
AUTOBAG® brand AB850SP can open, label, and seal up to eight bags per minute, using high-quality seals. Bags are 100% kerbside recyclable, subject to the availability of appropriate local recycling facilities.
Empack visitors to the SEE® stand will also be able to learn about how to overcome labour availability and productivity challenges. A range of print and pack solutions including AUTOBAG® brand AB500 and AL500 are designed to streamline integration by combining automatic, high-speed bagging and printing to reduce manual touchpoints and maximise system uptime.
Duncan Hall, UKI APS Commercial Director at SEE®, commented: “We’re seeing trends across the UK and Europe of operators prioritising innovations that enhance packaging throughput. Businesses are striving to quickly process high volumes of products, without compromising quality. Operators also want to achieve these goals while carefully managing warehousing space and costs, and overcoming challenges such as labour scarcity.
“With these trends in mind, ‘Automate Your Packaging’ is the key theme of our Empack stand. We’ll be focusing on a range of automated packaging solutions that are compact, quick to set-up and easy to integrate into production and fulfilment lines, and which are all designed to deliver high performance at high speeds.”
SEE® will also be showcasing its AUTOBAG® brand PS 125 Onestep™ – a tabletop bagging machine complete with an integrated printer. The all-electric system requires no compressed air and features an operator-friendly control screen for quick and easy configuration and storage of bagging jobs.
Completing the line-up of automated packaging solutions on stand B96 is the Comcount BFW Counting/Weighing Machine. This is compatible with AUTOBAG® brand bagging systems and is a unique combination of a bowl feed counter and automatic weighing machine. It has the capabilities to detect the dimensions of small products, to accurately bag up to 2,000 packs per hour.
Duncan Hall concludes: “Empack is all about providing a platform for the most advanced packaging innovations and capabilities. It is an ideal event for showcasing the multiple benefits of packaging automation, which are sure to appeal to visitors from a variety of different sectors.”
