New packaging, processing equipment aids beverage-makers
New releases include measurement devices and processing automation technology
Combi Packaging Solutions LLC announced the release of a new packaging machine that will allow craft brewers to maintain their hand craftsmanship while reducing labor costs and increasing throughput to quickly get products to distributors and retail shelves, the company says. Designed to alleviate the tedious task of hand-erecting four- and six-pack carriers, Combi developed its multi-functioning BrewPack machine that erects four- and six-pack carriers along with the regular slotted carton master case and then case packs the carriers, creating a bottle-ready case, it adds. Additionally, it offers a customizable ErgoPack ergonomic hand-packing station that contains a six-pack carrier dispenser and recirculating conveyor for semi-automatic bottle case packing. Both machines will be operating at BrewExpo America in Philadelphia, May 4-6.
