New forming set advancements
Forming set
makes new
baggers easy
BW Flexible Systems’ design
and engineering teams have
introduced TruFORM which it
describes as the next generation
of forming set technology for
the flexible packaging market.
Re-engineered from the ground
up, TruFORM is both lighter and
more adept at handling various
films and so offers users superior
performance.
The forming set is an integral
part of flexible packaging
equipment as the machine wraps
film around the set to form it
into bags, while simultaneously
delivering product through the
set into the newly formed bags.
FORMING UPGRADE
With updates to packaging
machinery and new types of
film in the market, the forming
set was due for an upgrade.
Because forming sets are
handled frequently in many
locations to meet increasing
changeover requirements,
TruFORM leverages the strength
and durability of previous
BW Flexible designs, but it is
approximately 30% lighter.
The updated technology also
improves film handling, allowing
users to reduce wasted film, effort
and time during operation.
TruFORM is available now as
an upgrade for existing Ultima
vertical bagger installations
and with new Ultima machines.
In the future, TruFORM will
also be a standard forming set
on new Hayssen flexible
packaging equipment.

Mettler-Toledo Product
Inspection has
launched a Configureto-Order
(CTO), 10 - 15
(working) day Quick Ship
Programme for Garvens’ C33
checkweighers and Safeline
X33 and X34 x-ray systems.
Effective immediately, the
programme significantly
improves product inspection
equipment lead times.
The C33 Quick Ship
checkweighers function in
dry production environments
and are available in six
configurations to help meet
specific weighing needs
quickly. The programme
allows manufacturers to add
a new checkweigher to their
line (or replace an existing
weighing solution) within
a streamlined, rapid design
and delivery process.
The X33 and X34 Quick
Ship Programmes are ideal
for manufacturers requiring
a fast, efficient solution
to inspect their small and
medium sized packaged
products at a throughput
rate of up to 300 products
In the second half of next year,
Shemesh Automation will
unveil a 200 ppm (packs per
minute) turnkey filling line
for canister wipes. Called the
TKS-200, it is an extension
of the proven TKS-60 and
TKS-120 models and is
designed to run at a consistent
speed of 200 ppm and a
maximum of 220 – 240 ppm.
As well as higher speeds,
the unit is designed to also
offer production consistency,
accuracy and user satisfaction.
The first demonstrations of
The new service aims to deliver equipment like this X33 x-ray system quicker
per minute. Highly sensitive
detection capabilities ensure
that each package is inspected
for contaminants including
shards of metal, glass, mineral
stone, calcified bone and
high-density plastics and
rubber. Simultaneously, both
systems perform quality and
packaging integrity checks to
ensure brand protection.
“This year, the Coronavirus
pandemic has impacted
demand for food products in
an unprecedented manner,”
explains Mike Pipe, head
of global sales & product
management at Mettler-
Toledo Product Inspection.
Shemesh Automation’s new machine for canister wipes will be very speedy
this new unit are planned to
take place in the US.
“As such, we have designed
our Quick Ship programmes
to help manufacturers quickly
respond to product demands
thereby ensuring that all
goods leaving their facilities
meet stringent food safety
compliance requirements
and are safe for consumers.”
The Quick Ship Programmes
offer manufacturers a high
level of flexibility of check
weighing and x-ray inspection
system specifications and
the configurable options.
