Chicago (PRWEB) September 22, 2006 -- The packaging equipment industry is heating up, as the Packaging Machinery Manufacturer's Institute predicts an increase in packaging machinery expenditures in six of eight industrial sectors and an estimated $5.5 billion dollar growth in machine expenditures. Nowhere is this more evident than the show floor of the upcoming PackExpo, the largest packaging and processing event in the Western Hemisphere. This is where the packaging and process equipment manufacturers come to show off their latest equipment and machinery offerings.

The king of the hill in this industry is the Frain Group (www.FrainGroup.com), which is the largest used packaging and processing equipment dealer in North America and over ten times larger than their nearest competitor. While The Frain Group will host a display booth at the PackExpo, where they really shine is back at their cavernous warehouses that hold over 7,000 machines; in stock and ready to ship. The seemingly endless rows of packaging and processing machinery features used equipment from hundreds of manufacturers, with categories as diverse as grinder equipment to used heat exchanger equipment. In addition to the machines already on location, the Frain Group also has access to over 30,000 pieces of packaging and processing equipment in their extensive database.

The Frain Group has 88 different categories of equipment listed on their website, available for purchase to immediately save time, costs and minimize the potential risks of any packaging or processing project. The sheer size of the Frain Group allows them to provide unrivaled in-house expertise. Frain Group employees have over 250 years of combined experience working with customers to meet their individual packaging and processing machinery needs, and are completely dedicated to bringing success to all packaging and processing projects. The Frain staff of process engineers, packaging engineers, redeployment engineers and account managers is committed to maximizing business potential, and the Frain Group even has an asset management program that allows clients to capitalize on idle, on-site machinery. A visit to the Frain Group website at http://www.FrainGroup.com/sitemap.php is the first step to determine where Frain can help with any packaging and processing equipment needs.

The Frain Group website showcases an inventory ranging from 2 head seamers, band sealer bag, volumetric filler powder, and asset management equipment to vacuum feeders and hot stamp coders. The new Frain Group sitemap (http://www.FrainGroup.com/sitemap.php) gives a bird’s eye view and is a great place from which to begin any packaging equipment search. Perhaps there is a need for an inline blister, totes bin, bosch cartoner, used laboratory machine or piece of colloid mill equipment. Maybe a piston filler can, disc counter, used still machine, used meat equipment, case depalletizer, gable top form fill or centrifical pump will accomplish a company’s needs. The Frain Group website features a constantly growing document library that is a virtual treasure chest of information about used processing machinery and used packaging equipment, such as rotary blisters, used single screw extruder, taper sealer cases, electric kettles, slat counters, cutter slicer machines and countless other types of packaging and processing equipment and machinery. The Frain Group has a variety of attractive financing options available that allow customers to buy, borrow or lease equipment, and offers a one stop shop for virtually any used packaging and processing equipment needs.

The Frain Group website contains a wealth of information on their extensive inventory, whether it’s a used coder machine or a used roller mill, a used linear scale or a used gear head motor. The Frain Group will host Booth #N-3222 at the PackExpo in Chicago, Illinois between October 29 and November 2, 2006, and is also offering a shuttle bus from the PackExpo to their Open House, located at their 1,560,000 square foot campus, only a half hour away from the PackExpo. The quick ride to the Frain Campus is well worth it: the Frain Group site houses 1,565,000 square feet compared to the 1,545,000 of the PackExpo itself. The machinery at The Frain Group is safely stored in their vast, temperature controlled warehouse.

To shop equipment ranging from an attrition mill, a tunnel freezer or checkweigher equipment to a single motion kettle or x-ray metal detector, visit www.fraingroup.com. Visitors can now follow the links to register for the PackExpo free of charge as The Frain Group's guests, as well as to reserve a seat on the shuttle bus to the Frain Group's Open House.
