Standard-Knapp Eliminates Line Jams and Reduces Downtime with Zero-Gap Infeed Technology

Standard-Knapp, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of innovative packaging machinery, introduces its Zero-Gap infeed technology for balanced, jam-resistant case packing lanes.

Portland, CT (PRWEB) May 24, 2007 -- Standard-Knapp, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of innovative packaging machinery (http://www.standard-knapp.com/packaging-machinery.htm), introduces its Zero-Gap infeed technology for balanced, jam-resistant case packing lanes. Designed for a variety of case packing applications in the beverage, food, and household product industries, Zero-Gap is a more precise, efficient and low-maintenance alternative to conventional laning systems. Zero-Gap increases case packer machinery efficiency to 98% or greater and operates at speeds from 100 to 1600 bottles per minute.

Zero-Gap incorporates precise geometry and sensors to ensure a continuous container supply to the case packer's downstream lanes and grouping section. Compatible with a variety of platforms (http://www.standard-knapp.com/applpage.htm), including tray packers, shrink wrappers, intermittent motion case packers and rotary packers, Zero-Gap can be programmed to handle round containers of all sizes. Low line pressure and gentle handling properties make Zero-Gap ideal for packing compressible or hot-filled PET, lightweight glass, and aluminum.

Changeover for packaging machinery featuring Zero-Gap infeed technology is easily accomplished by initial setup parameters which allow operators to complete changes with repeatability and without the need to adjust settings during production.

Standard-Knapp offers 24-hour customer service assistance, as well as extensive machine training programs (http://www.standard-knapp.com/training/training.htm). In addition to state-of-the art case packing machinery, Standard-Knapp offers bottle packing, tray packing and shrink wrapping solutions.
