ADVANCED SLICING PERFORMANCE

Provisur Technologies introduced Formax’s PowerMax slicing systems. The AccuPower Independent Drives promise complete control over each log. Meanwhile, the PowerScanner makes portioning of irregularly shaped products faster and more accurate. The patented slicing technology utilizes a system of lasers and cameras to generate a true 3-D product image prior to slicing. The safety laser scanner results in a more open, hygienic environment as it lessens the need for mechanical guards. To speed and simplify washdowns, a button-operated automated cleanup mode pivots the slicing deck into the horizontal position and allows easy access to internal components. Finally, Multitec Autoloading systems’ patented technology automates the positioning, transfer and loading of sliced portions at high speeds.

AUTO SPLICE SYSTEM FOR PACKAGING FILM

Tna’s robag Auto-splice system automatically splices film, thus increasing packaging efficiency and maximizing product throughput by reducing the need for manual intervention. The new Auto-splice head, coupled with a robag dual spindle film system, joins the start of a new pre-prepared roll of film to the end of an expiring roll. The film preparation is carried out while the machine is still running, with no interruption to the packaging process and no machine downtime. It’s also fully integrated with existing robag software, which assists with the automatic reel change.
