The packaging industry is turning to technology to provide customers with more efficient, cost effective and environmentally products.
These innovative packaging solutions will be a highlight of foodpro 2008 in Sydney in July.
Multivac, a world leader in automated packaging systems serving a range of international industries, will demonstrate the flagship of a new generation of thermoform packaging machines, the R 535.
The first of its kind seen in the industry the R 535 features a clean-in-place automatic system which cleans both the inside and outside of the machine.
“The R 535 will set new standards for hygiene, process stability, precision, performance and total efficiency,” Multivac says.
Leaders in the materials handling Ozkor will showcase the ExPal 1140 export pallet and the Ozpal 1165 heavy-duty production pallet.
Ken Scanlon, of Ozkor, says plastic options were the way of the future.
“Plastic materials handling is more hygienic, durable and easier to clean than timber alternatives,” he says.
“They do not absorb and retain harmful bacteria."
"When it comes to exporting, the adoption of plastic reusable pallets shows an international trend towards a desire by many countries to reduce the dependence on timber.”
foodpro 2008 will span four halls of the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre and the four-day show will showcase every aspect of the food processing industry, from food packaging and the meat industry to food processing equipment, additives, ingredients, testing equipment, water treatment, pumps and ancillary equipment.
A major highlight of foodpro 2008 will be its co-location with the industry’s principal conference featuring advances in food science.
The Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology Incorporated will host its 41st Annual AIFST Convention discussing the theme - Our Food Our Future.
foodpro 2008 will run from Monday July 21 to Thursday July 24 at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour.
