New Coldseal Machines Set To Wrap Up The Market For Flexible, Automated Packaging

Angus & Wright, one of Europe's leading suppliers of automated packaging machinery, has launched two new machines to cater for small and long items, giving packers the option of automating what until now have been expensive manual operations. For some years now, Angus & Wright's 9000 range of Coldseal Packaging® machines have been the system of choice for companies engaged in the packaging of goods such as books, CDs, clothing and electrical components. By introducing the 4500 and the 800 range, Angus & Wright has opened up the possibility of automation for companies who need to pack items of varying sizes or where the length of the item would normally make automation impossible.

For some years now, Angus & Wright's 9000 range of Coldseal Packaging® machines have been the system of choice for companies engaged in the packaging of goods such as books, CDs, clothing and electrical components. By introducing the 4500 and the 800 range, Angus & Wright has opened up the possibility of automation for companies who need to pack items of varying sizes or where the length of the item would normally make automation impossible. The 4500 range is designed specifically for smaller items which can be packaged in pouches up to 51 cm deep in widths of either 15 or 30 cms, with the machine sensing and adjusting automatically to different lengths. Up to 50 units a minute can be packed efficiently and safely in this way. A touch screen allows for easy set up and configuration, with adjustments up to one tenth of an inch to save material costs. A wide range of optional features are available with this machine including extra hopper features, safety guards, labelling, dual exit conveyors, visual and audio alert systems and a reject station for mislabelled or unreadable bar codes. Both machines are technologically advanced with touch screen controls, photo-electric cells, Siemens electronics and pneumatic spindles. As no heating is required for the Coldseal process, the machines are economical to use and environmentally sound. No special ventilation or complex utility connections are required. Amongst all the other benefits of using Coldseal machines, the reduction in material wastage, energy consumption and labour costs are likely to be very attractive to many companies looking to improve their competitive position and productivity.
