We asked four of the Australian companies exhibiting at ProPak Asia to share what we can expect to see on their stand.
The Australian Pavilion at ProPak Asia, hosted by The Australian Packaging & Processing Machinery Association (APPMA), will allow Australian packaging and processing manufacturers and distributors to showcase their products to the Asian market.
The show runs from 14-17 June in Bangkok, Thailand, and the pavilion is in its second year.
Exhibitors will include HMPS, Inox Australia, OFS, Woolcool Australia, the APPMA, and the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP).
BBC Technologies will also be exhibiting in the same area and APPMA member companies Fibre King, Heat and Control, and tna will be exhibiting on their own stands.
Here's what you can expect from HMPS, Inox, OFS and Woolcool this year.
HMPS to showcase end-load cartoner
Case packing and palletising machinery builder HMPS has designed a range of packaging systems for national and international customers.
The company will be demonstrating the HMPS 6000 End Load Cartoner, which is used to package dairy snacks and responds to demand for increased automation.
The end of the line is automated, however the machine allows for manual infeed.
The HMPS 6000 can pack up to 100 products per minute, which translates to 25 cartons per minute.
Instant powder solution from Inox
Inox will take visitors through the benefits of a fast, homogeneous powder/ liquid mixing solution.
The Inox Instantiser rapidly dissolves and disperses viscous solids, semi solids and powders through a specially designed impellor system combined with an appropriate vessel shape to produce a high level of turbulence to dissolve and disperse almost any food product.
Also on the Inox stand will be a scraped surface heat exchanger from Kelstream, for inline cooling or heating of products.
The Kelstream SSHE is commonly used in aseptic processing of foodstuffs, and can process heat-sensitive, viscous, or particulate-laden products; enhance the heat transfer of viscous products; and minimise the extent of burn-on or fouling on the heat transfer surface.
OFS does off-the-charts live demos
Software solutions company OFS (Operations Feedback Systems) will be giving demonstrations of a few different modules of the OFS core suite, primarily OFS-X, OFS-Flow, OFS-Alerts and OFS-Analytics.
A visual of the OFS Operator console will be presented on the stand, and live demonstrations will be running throughout the day. The demos will allow visitors to see first-hand what happens when the line is down, how OFS measures job changeovers, electronic forms automatically popping up on the console, and how reporting can be done.
Woolcool packs up box and pouch options
Woolcool offers environmentally friendly insulated packaging solutions for transporting temperature-sensitive goods, and will be showcasing its box and pouch options on the stand.
Its stand will also be distinctly ‘Aussie’, with a ‘Ridgey Didge Australian Shearing Shed’ which shows how wool can be turned into insulated packaging.
Next week we will report on what we can expect from the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), BBC Technologies, Fibre King, Heat and Control, and tna.
