Equipment for herbs

UK fresh herb supplier R&G Herbs is expanding rapidly due to the increasing popularity of fresh herbs. To keep pace with demand, the company invested in a customised Sienna bottom reel flow wrapper from Ulma Packaging to pack a variety of herbs it supplies to supermarkets, major restaurants, wholesalers and foodservice customers.

R&G Herbs specified a robust packaging solution that could accurately wrap different sized packs of herbs quickly, with the minimum of downtime.

The Sienna horizontal flow wrapper has been supplied with a Euro slot for bunched herbs in a printed film pack. It has also been fitted with a Markem thermal coder and Herma labeller.

The equipment is currently wrapping 65 packs of herbs per minute at the site and has delivered several cost efficiencies in a number of areas, including speed and reducing manual changeovers.
