A growing demand for variety in pack display has led filling and packaging systems manufacturer KHS to develop a new packing and palletising concept.
Launched at the AIP Conference, the film-free KHS Innopack Kisters DP DisplayTray palletises all standard single packs according to the familiar, proven principle of continuous operation.
The products are placed singly and compactly on a tray which can be individually printed, with the outside edges providing space for clear brand messages.
This will enable more retailers to effectively display milk, soft drinks and food products such as vegetable oils and sauces.
Film is only required for the stable transportation of the finished pallets.
Depending on customer requirements, film-wrapped combipacks and multipacks can also be arranged on the trays.
The company says the concept, which is also available as a block unit if required, holds potential for cost and material savings.
The new DisplayPacker series from KHS can be adapted to suit different capacities, production and market-specific requirements.
The DisplayTray can be positioned and stacked on full, half or quarter euro pallets.
The KHS Innopack Kisters DP processes the units to be packed in a single process, with the finished tray exiting the line straight onto the pallet.
Instead of utilizing several single machines, the products are processed on a compact system.
This means that operating and maintenance processes can be coordinated with one another and the amount of production space required is reduced.
