WHAT ROLE DOES STAINLESS STEEL PACKAGING MACHINERY PLAY IN THE FOOD AND FISH INDUSTRIES?
The food and fish industries are fast-paced environments and are highly regulated for obvious reasons, making it essential to select the appropriate production and packaging machinery. Within these sectors, maintaining hygiene, durability and efficiency are critical when it comes to a business's handling, packaging, and sealing processes using packaging machinery for their products.
Across these industries, there are many materials used in production facilities, like food-grade plastics for different types of containers and packaging, as well as aluminium for lightweight applications but one of the most commonly used materials within machinery is stainless steel.
It is commonly used in the construction of case erectors, sealers, conveyors, and robotic arms to ensure these machines are durable, reliable and capable of withstanding the wear and tear of high-speed operations.
Why Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel has many distinct properties, which makes it an ideal choice for machinery across many industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, etc.
Hygiene
Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and stains. It is non-toxic and can easily withstand regular washdowns, and harsher cleaning products typically used for sterilisation in food processing facilities, minimising the risk of harmful bacteria accumulating.
Durability
Packaging machinery made with stainless steel generally maintains its value over a period of time as stainless steel is typically known for its long life span due to its exceptional durability and strength, requiring minimal maintenance along the way. It can withstand harsh environments and rigorous use without compromising performance and strict hygiene standards.
Case Erectors and Case Sealers
For businesses within the food and fish industry, investing in case erectors and case sealers is essential. At Watershed we provide a wide range of COMARME end-of-line packaging machinery ideal for these environments.
Product Focus: PP08 Inox + GEM 52 Inox
The semiautomatic line PP08 Inox + GEM 52 Inox are a reliable partner for automatisation in the food & fish industry
100% stainless steel machines in all its parts. Anti-corrosive, anti-rust, long life of your industrial equipment!!! The working principles are identical to the standard machines of this category. The operator opens the carton box, slightly inclined inserts it into PP08, which closes the bottom flaps automatically. Now, the box is ready for the filling (manual or even automated). Once filled in, by pushing a button, the box is pulled into the sealer mod. GEM 52 Inox to be sealed up and bottom by adhesive tape.
The case formed PP08 is a pneumatic machine; no maintenance is needed, easy to use and move to the area of higher need thanks to caster wheels. Moreover this semiautomatic former, by some specific modifications, is available for line inserting.
