HMPS has launched a new modular frame design to be displayed on stand G140 at AUSPACK, which it says will offer flexibility and scalability to customers.

Available in three sizes with capacity for retrofitting, the new technology will offer benefits for the manufacturer and the customer, HMPS claims: customers will gain additional flexibility for expansion, while HMPS will be able to offer more cost-effective machinery with faster turnaround times.

According to Adam Read, sales manager, visibility is a key feature in the new design, with lights clearly indicating where problems occur.

“The highly visible fault finding mechanism and clean design strengthens our brand recognition and offers a unique selling proposition which differentiates us from the competitors,” says Read. “The fact that the machine lights up allows for reduced time in fault finding – a design with beauty and brains.”

The machines will also be compatible with HMPSConnect, the manufacturer’s IIoT solution, ensuring technical support for remote areas is to the same standard as for local customers.
