Kliklok gets a taste of Italy
May 19, 2006
In a joint venture with Smurfit Sisa Orsenigo, Italy (A Member of the Smurfit Kappa Group), Kliklok Woodman has just supplied top load and wraparound cartoning equipment to Italian company Corazza - as part of a fully integrated soft cheese production line.
This customised line includes a Kliklok SRWD tray forming machine, producing five different sizes of special shallow tray with 'turn-over' buffer walls and a single central lock-in tab. Individual foil wrapped squares of soft cheese are placed in the tray, prior to entering the 'smart belt' infeed of a Kliklok Certiwrap C150 sleeving machine. This wraps a flat carton sleeve around the filled tray, at speeds of up to 85 sleeves per minute.
A 'tamper-evident' feature was designed on the C150 for this application, which vertically fires a dab of glue onto the base of the tray to adhere it to the sleeve. This packaging line gives the customer a fully automated system to replace a time-consuming and labour intensive operation, and will also give a tighter and more secure sleeve wrap.
