April 15, 2013
Fogg Filler, a market leader in the design and manufacture of rotary filling systems for the liquids industry, is continually focused on improving technology that better serves our customers and the environment. Fogg has developed a revolutionary filler that has two filling bowls on one filler base with one capper. This new combination allows for a lower initial investment, lower ceiling height requirements, smaller floor space requirements, and more manageable maintenance.
Campbell Wrapper Corporation’s wash-down Revolution wrapper is designed for a variety of applications including bakery, confectionary, dairy, frozen foods, sandwiches and other food products.
The “Hybrid Chill Roll” was designed by the Menges Engineering Team to overcome inner chamber concerns seen in typical chill rolls (which are double-shelled and filled with a thermal transfer liquid). On a standard chill roll, the interior chamber is susceptible to oxidation (rusting), scaling (mineral deposits), and corrosion. This is because, with a traditional design, steel is used on the inner surface of the outer shell, the outer surface of the inner shell, and on the attached spiral wrap. When this material breaks down inside the roller, it leads to loss of thermal transfer performance (the roll doesn’t get as hot/cold as it should), and poor-quality output for the converter.
High-speed hygienic sealing of almost any shape or size tray is now possible using Ishida's latest generation of QX-1100 Flex tray sealers. Split dual-lane models take 50% less floor space than two single lane machines and deliver up to 15 cycles per minute with modified atmosphere packaging. Each lane can operate independently with different trays and speeds. High-capacity single and twin lane tray sealers also require minimal space.
