PACKAGING

BREAD INFEED AND WRAPPER
Bread wrapping often requires special
care for the great variety of products and
for the size tolerances within every specific
product style. Cavanna
has designed its
m a ch i n e s

for flexibility
as well as quick
changeover. Its automatic feeding system
integrates between the slicer and the
wrapper infeed. Bread loaves from the
slicer discharge conveyor smoothly
move between flights of the wrapper
infeed. Each loaf is kept standing on edge
because of one back flight and one front
spring-loaded retaining flight. Easy-lock
quick-disconnect blocks allow multiple
pin locations along the wrapper chain
according to the product length. Loaves
feed into the film tube through the former
and remain standing on edge thanks to
two lateral-travelling flight chains. A flight
bar circuit through the jaws guarantees
smooth passage of the loaves to the
discharge belt at speeds up to 100 packs
per minute. Phone (973) 383-0307; Web

CORNER LABELING SYSTEM

EPI's new system applies labels to the corner of a package so that batch and product
data can be seen on two sides of a carton.
The corner labeling unit can be integrated
with most cartoner lines, and it is easy to
set up and operate. The labeler, engineered
to run 24/7 with low-maintenance requirements, features a rigid mounting structure
to minimize vibration with a gentle tamp
application. A programmable printer can
be added to the system. Phone (800) 7558344; Web www.epilabelers.com
HIGH-TEMPERATURE ZIPPERS
Zip-Pak launches the
Hi-Temp series, a new
line for packaging applications that require
tolerance to extreme
heat. Included are microwavable, boil-in-bag
and post-pasteurizable
zippers. The zippers are composed of a
unique blend of resins that ensure durability

and performance. Each zipper can be sized
to different widths and configurations, and
the zippers run with ease on most pre-form
pouch machines. Phone (800) 488-6973;

ELECTROMAGNETIC CONVEYORS
Key Technology presents a new line of
electromagnetic shakers (conveyors) called
Impulse Compact, specially designed for
tight-fitting processing and packaging
lines that require precise metering and
low-maintenance drives. Its solid-state
controls maximize production flexibility and
allow pan

amplitude
ranges from
0 to 100%.
The conveyors'
cycle modes can also be changed to manage heavier products. Impulse Compact is
available in sizes ranging from 200 to 400 mm
(8 to 15.7 in.) wide and from 1,500 to 2,000 mm
(5 to 6.5 ft) long. Impact shakers are also
