Australian Wrapping Company (AWC) is exhibiting a range of shrink, stretch and flow wrapping systems from its partners on stand D230 at AUSPACK.

The company, which specialises in shrink wrapping, pallet wrapping, flow wrapping, shrink sleeve applicators, and heat sealer packaging equipment, is showing machinery from Smipack, TLM and PKG.

From Smipack comes the HS 500 high-speed shrink wrapping system, which offers side seal operation for optimum production rates and superior shrink appeal finish, says AWC. In addition, the BP 600 AR shrink bundle wrapper system displays its ability to collate and wrap various products for the pharmaceutical and food industries, the company says.

Also on the stand are TLM’s flow wrappers, which range from the Wiki’s compact design to the high-speed box-motion Discovery for various applications. According to AWC, the TLM range is popular with food processors, and accommodates clear and printed films with optional features to complement all products.

Finally, PKG’s pallet wrappers with PR04 wi-fi software are on display, and can be controlled and monitored from desktop and mobile applications, claims AWC. The software can give operators data showing number of pallets wrapped, plus weight and film used for each pallet.

CCEP has completed a $39.7m manufacturing upgrade at its Kewdale facility in WA, installing a high-speed can production line that increases capacity by more than 40% and lifts production speeds to 1500 cans per minute.

Nearly 6 in 10 Aussies in food and beverage manufacturing believe their organisation is becoming less productive, despite continued investment in workplace technology, according to Argon & Co.

Every food, drink, personal care and household product made in Australia starts with an investment decision. A company chooses to replace a production line, automate a process or expand a plant. That choice is now made in a global market for capital, and Australia is struggling to compete. The question is simple. Will the next generation of manufacturing investment come here?
