New automated packaging solution

A packaging solutions provider has launched a new option to help packers speed up their operations.

Verti-Pack has launched the Sorma P14 to add to its range of materials and equipment. The machine offers a linear multi-head weighing system which it claims is flexible in operation and can handle a wide range of fruit and vegetables, operating at speeds of up to 85 packs a minute.

The P14 is constructed of robust stainless steel, is fully automatic and features touch screen control.

Verti-Pack, which is part of the GSH Group, claimed it also has the facility to produce two different pack weights at the same time and can be programmed to count product if required.

Jon Dryland, sales manager, said: “The P14 is an extremely flexible piece of machinery which can link with all types of packaging systems, including vertical form, fill and seal and netting machines to produce weighed, bagged and ready-to-go product.”
