End-of-line packaging solutions company Lachenmeier will show visitors its new twin stretch hood pallet wrapping technology at AUSPACK 2017.

Lachenmeier will be running live demos of the Multi FleX1 stretch hooder at the show, and will also showcase its pallet wrapping solutions.

The company's focus will be on solutions that represent an alternative to conventional stretch wrapping.

Through a combination of machine and film knowledge, Lachenmeier can now offer competitive solutions by reducing overall film costs without compromising on the required load stability.

Another way is to remove excess primary and secondary packaging material while saving money on the total packaging costs.

Stretch hood, in comparison to stretch wrap, provides improved stability, and enables users to reduce the packaging costs compared to other wrapping technologies. It provides a waterproof load, offers higher capacities, and a range of different wrapping patterns such as adding a sleeve in the middle of the load, or a reinforcement at the bottom.

Lachenmeier is represented in Australia by Bliss & Reels. You can see live demos of the stretch hooder at stand 466 at Auspack.

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?
