Versapack Demonstration at Interpack 2008

24-30 April, Düsseldorf, Hall 17, Stand B04

(PRWEB) February 19, 2008 -- Following its concept launch at the Total Exhibition in May last year Versapack - a compact case erecting and packing system - is set to be officially unveiled at this year's Interpack show.

Unlike traditional combined machines, designed by specialists in either case erecting or case packing, Versapack is a class above as it has been uniquely created by two of the leading companies in their fields - resulting in a system without compromise.

Developed jointly by robot manufacturer Quin Systems and end of line packaging manufacturer Endoline Machinery the Versapack is a combination of Quin's high speed automatic RTheta Casepacker and an Endoline 220 series case erecting machine. The effect of these machines working in tandem offers customers additional options for high-speed case packing in areas where automation may not currently be possible.

Mike Webb, Managing Director of Quin Systems, comments: "With the capability of up to 100 picks per minute, the Versapack is probably the fastest and smallest combined Case erector/packer on the market today. Combining the leading skills of the two companies in these two areas provides a result with no half measures"

Those attending this years' Interpack Show will view first hand the benefits of this distinctive machine which will be showcased on the Endoline stand - Hall 17 Stand B04.

Notes to Editors

The principle of Versapack is simple - an Endoline 220 series case erector frame is used to mount the picking head and product feed conveyor, which results in an extremely compact footprint. This has been possible due to the high speed of the Rtheta™ picking head, thereby allowing a simpler and more compact product collating area to be used.

•    Compact footprint; 1.8m long x 1.8m wide x 2.1m high

•    Offers a solution for 'standard' production line pitch of 2.5m

•    Modular infeed system can be added to handle flexible packs and shelf-ready packing configurations

Endoline Machinery and Quin Systems strengthened their allegiance last year by introducing a new compact case erecting and packing system - Versapack. The combined effect of Quin's high speed automatic RTheta Casepacker and an Endoline 221 case erecting machine working in tandem offers customers additional options for high-speed case packing in areas where automation may not currently be possible.

The Versapack can be supplied with a bespoke infeed system to allow products such as sachets to be easily overlapped to achieve a much tighter fit within the case.
