Redpack Packaging Machinery has launched a new horizontal top seal (HTS) flow wrapper aimed at fresh produce industry.

Its stainless steel finish and small carbon footprint make it suitable for use in packhouse applications and the optional remote electronics cabinet provides a high degree of flexibility when the HTS needs to be mounted in a field rig, Redpack claims.

The first HTS has already been installed for a UK customer and Redpack’s Steve Crow believes that the features and benefits offered by this competitively priced machine will quickly result in further home and export sales.

Crow said: “Despite the economic downturn people have to eat and many supermarkets appear to be reporting strong sales of everyday produce. The new HTS flow wrapper is ideally suited for packaging a wide variety of such everyday food and produce and, with many of our customers being suppliers to the major supermarkets, we have high hopes for HTS sales over the coming months.”
