JL Lennard will be demonstrating Rovema’s new BVC-260 vertical-form-fill-seal bagger with 'Premium Seal' technology. Recently awarded Best Packaging Machine 2014 by the German Packaging Institute, the BVC-260 uses a patented sense and seal technology that closely monitors the sealing process by comparing force-closing movement subject to sealing jaw position in real time. This allows unprecedented high quality seals with leakage resistance of less than 0.01 micron, increasing seam strength by as much as 50 per cent without compromising performance. Simply, this means product remains fresher for longer. Bags with product trapped in the seals can be easily rejected without stopping the machine, increasing efficiency and reducing downtime significantly.

With a top speed of 240 sealed bags per minute, the twin-axis continuous motion bagger uses industry standard components and energy efficient drives where braking energy is stored or fed back into the mains.

The BVC-260 has a new modern and open design with full access to the filling area, a hygienic closed tube frame, making it an ideal choice for confectionery, snack foods, frozen and fresh foods.

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?
