Twist wrapped lollipops<br />
give customers another<br />
look and different shelf<br />
appeal on the retail<br />
floor. Products attract<br />
more attention and can<br />
even make the lollipop<br />
look bigger<br />
campaigns to boost sales.<br />
The maximum size of the sticker is<br />
three millimetres smaller than the<br />
lollipop diameter, and it can be<br />
placed at up to 600 lollipops per<br />
minute. The GEA Aquarius<br />
BunchWrapper is also suitable for<br />
heat-sealable wrapping materials<br />
such as cellophane, polypropylene<br />
and laminates. The GEA<br />
BunchWrapper has been around<br />
for 10– 12 years successfully in the<br />
market so it is well known and<br />
appreciated. As lollipops are sold<br />
more and more by the piece, our<br />
GEA Label on Stick option on the<br />
GEA Aquarius BunchWrapper<br />
provides our customers with the<br />
possibility to print information on<br />
both sides such as barcodes and<br />
product ingredients.<br />
Stand out with contemporary<br />
bagging<br />
Completing the portfolio offer with<br />
GEA SmartPackers vertical<br />
packaging equipment, GEA<br />
ensures that lollipops are bagged<br />
in the latest stand-up packaging<br />
styles in order to stand out on<br />
supermarket shelves and shop<br />
counters. The continuous motion<br />
GEA SmartPacker CX400 on the<br />
GEA stand can form, fill and seal<br />
the popular Quatroseal and<br />
attractive Easy Doystyle bag<br />
formats. GEA SmartPackers<br />
handle products smoothly, making<br />
it possible to bag fragile and sticky<br />
candy at high speeds. And thanks<br />
to the product-in-seal detection<br />
system, no sticky product residue<br />
gets in the jaws, so there’s no<br />
need to stop for cleaning.<br />
GEA Aquarius TwistWrapper<br />
Another major product from its<br />
present line is the GEA Aquarius<br />
TwistWrapper machinery, which<br />
has a patented feature, the so<br />
called Overlap Seal, (available as<br />
an option), which promotes<br />
prolonged shelf life of the product<br />
while using less wrapping film<br />
during production in comparison to<br />
other wrapping techniques. The<br />
machine achieves its high speed<br />
through smooth film handling,<br />
precise cutting and automatic<br />
feeding. Twist wrapped lollipops<br />
give customers another look and<br />
different shelf appeal on the retail<br />
floor. Products attract more<br />
attention and can even make the<br />
lollipop look bigger. ■<br />
