Paksmart Machinery will launch the new and improved PC40 carton machine range on stand 329.

The PC40 has gone through its most comprehensive machine specification upgrade since its original launch in 1999. The small footprint of the original PC40 has been retained along with the top to bottom guard doors for easy machine access and cleaning.

The new features increase the available carton size range, adding more automation to assist carton size change and revised component design to further enhance cleaning.

The Paksmart carton machine range has serviced the food, pharmaceutical and contract packing industry for 16 years. It erects cartons, loads product and seals the carton closed for a high quality presentation of you product. 

New features include:

  • Fast size change: less than 15 minutes for a 3 dimensional size change.
  • Recipe-based servo adjustment of carton flights  that is fast and accurate.
  • New minimum carton depth : less than 110mm for the standard machine.
  • New larger colour screen to indicate machine status, guard door status and recipe-based assisted size change.
  • Standard equipment now includes hand crank adjustments with scaled readouts of carton depth and overhead rails as well as glue guns. These settings are stored in the machine programme for display on the colour screen to assist the operator during size change.

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?
