Bosch Packaging Technology completed the expansion of its state-of-the-art vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) test facility at its U.S. food headquarters in New Richmond, Wis. The $850,000 vertical expansion, which started in May 2012 and was completed in December 2012, helps Bosch accommodate two full VFFS packaging lines that include secondary packaging, such as case erecting, loading and closing. With the expansion, Bosch offers optimal product feeding to VFFS machines for extended runs, as well as temperature and humidity control to simulate each manufacturer’s specific factory environment.
From engineering, parts fabrication and assembly to line integration, testing and trouble shooting, Bosch offers its fresh, frozen and confectionery customers a full range of resources.
