Fresh approach

Paramount Packaging Systems has announced the launch of an Alpha VII FW3710BS/B back seal flow wrapper, that has been adapted for reliable, high speed operation on the mobile field harvesting rigs widely used by fresh produce growers.

Mounted on a robust stainless steel support frame to ensure stability and rigidity when sitting on the harvesting rig, it can be easily repositioned when the sides of the rig are folded up for transportation between fields, and even countries. It also has an integrated ink jet coder and labeller.

Developed for wet environments, the system features a hygienic design to help prevent dust and dirt accumulation, meets full wash down requirements and incorporates water drainage channels from the infeed.

The machine, which operates up to 120 packs per minute with a low maintenance box motion sealing system, has a convenient ‘plug and play’ two-part infeed which allows it to be used with different types of rig and across a variety of applications.
