Ilapak introduces new technology

Ilapak uses high quality commercially available components to achieve this together with a user friendly HMI, an electronic platform capable of web connection to allow remote monitoring and software which will predict failures well in advance. Several energy saving features are also incorporated in the latest machines on show including greater thermal efficiency of the sealing jaws and rollers and the use of energy recuperation systems in the motor drives.
In addition to new machines incorporating these features Ilapak will showing a fully operational version of its VacMap ™ flow-wrapper, the only system available that enables manufacturers to produce high quality flow-wrap packs with the same shelf life as thermoformed packs at lower cost and without the use of an alcohol spray.

Also demonstrated for the first time will be a new electronic control platform, using a Linux operating system. This powerful and advanced open source system runs on an industrial PC and offers fast, detailed diagnostic and machine status information which can be accessed locally or remotely from an Ilapak factory via either an Ethernet, wireless or gsm connection for fast on line fault correction.
Ilapak’s new Carrera 4000 will be shown for the first time at Interpack. This is the first of Ilapak’s new range of horizontal packaging machines to enable the lowest cost per pack to be achieved by optomising machine size and performance at the time of purchase through its modular design.
Customers are able to ‘futureproof’ their equipment, allowing configuration changes to be made simply by exchanging or adding new modules; so that while the specification of a new machine can be cost effectively tailored to current requirements, changes can be made easily and economically in the future without incurring the cost of a new machine.

Latest addition to the Ilapak range of vertical, form, fill and seal (VFFS) machines, the Vegatronic 2000-450OF will be shown. This is the first of Ilapak’s intermittent film motion machines to feature an easy to clean open frame design, offering exceptional hygiene standards to be achieved. The stainless steel model on display offers high speed packaging for wet applications such as frozen products, salads, cheese, fruit and vegetables.
To highlight the wide range of packaging machines offered by Ilapak, the display will also include a Vegatronic 500 combined multi head scale and bagging machine with fully integrated control system, a Delta 500 LDR flow bag machine with an integral vacuum unit packing large blocks of cheese in a shrinkable barrier film, a Delta 3000LD wrapping sliced bread and a Carrera 3000 HS complete high speed chocolate bar packaging line, including cartoning.
