Earlier this year Emrich was awarded the exclusive ADCO Manufacturing agency which has expanded the product range to cover secondary packaging machinery including cartoners and corrugated equipment. Along with this Emrich now has access to a wide range of tray forming equipment used to erect and form trays currently used in the meat and produce industries.

From P84 style trays, used in the produce industry, to end slotted trays used extensively in the meat industry, Emrich is now able to supply solid solutions for the forming and stacking of this packaging. Emrich has also invested in technical staff to ensure this new product range is well supported and that we can ensure the equipment performs at a high level of efficiency moving forward.

Emrich is also able to supply equipment to assist in the forming of trays for ‘shelf ready’ applications that are becoming popular in the major Australian supermarket chains.
 
If you would like to hear more about this range of tray forming equipment, be it to replace existing equipment, service existing equipment or specifying equipment for a new application please contact us to arrange an appointment. Emrich is able to supply recommendations on the machine and packaging to ensure the solution is right for your business. 
 

The Adco cartoner is in operation 12 hours a day, five days a week, cartoning an ever-expanding range of products for Annex’s many and varied customer’s.
Annex knew exactly what it wanted from a cartoning machine. Comments Managing Director Michael Turner: “I wanted a user friendly machine that was suitable for coping with a very wide range of customers and their products.”
For Annex, Adco was the right choice for a number of reasons. “The Adco is an excellent piece of equipment,” says Mr Turner. “It’s very easy to use and highly flexible which is imperative for a contract packer.”
“We have also bought a lot of other packaging machinery from Emrich Industries over the years and we have a great amount of comfort when working with them. I cannot speak too highly about their attention to our needs and their follow up service abilities.”
“Contract packing is a dynamic business and we needed a cartoner that would be able to accommodate the ever-changing needs of our customers,” continues Mr Turner. “The flexibility and simplicity of the Adco are the best features of the machine.”
The Adco also has hygiene benefits for Annex. The cartoner is of stainless steel construction and is easy to clean.
The Adco system has increased Annex’s capacity. “We’re a leader in the Australian packaging marketplace and give great emphasis to the quality of our packaging equipment” says Mr Turner.

Outstanding precision and weighing speeds, flexibility, reliability, zero maintenance and ease of cleaning place MBP multi-head / combination weighers at the cutting edge of current mechanical, hardware and software technology.

With annual sales increasing at the rate of 20 per cent, MBP now spends 10 per cent of turnover on research and development, reflected in ever increasing technical and performance standards.

In 2006 the company introduced the revolutionary Series C2 multi-head / combination weighers and in 2008 launched the Series C3 multi-head / combination weighers which represents the highest level of technology and performance available on the market today. The Series C1 is an entry-level budget multi-head / combination weighers featuring the know-how applied to MBP’s top-of-range weighers.

In 2009 MBP introduced the Series C4 linear multi-head / combination weighers aimed specifically at fragile products.

Multi-head / combination weigher’s performance relies on correct choice and perfect operation of the large number of mechanical, software and hardware components to give accuracy, safety over time, guaranteed hygiene.

Ten major assets of MBP multi-head / combination weighers are:

1. Vibrating (or rotating) central plate equipped with load cell to maintain a consistent quantity of product available and guarantee optimum distribution of product over the surrounding channels. The Vibcontrol system maintains a constant vibrating capacity regardless of the amount of product present.

2. Perfect operation and control of the vibrating bases, which reduce weight regeneration times to a minimum.

3. New generation load cells with temperature compensation systems featuring extremely high speeds and highly accurate weighing.

4. Extremely efficient automatic environment vibration annulment system to prevent vibrations interfering with and altering digital weighing data. The multi-head / combination weigher works in real time and are extremely precise.

5. High speed opening/closing of pre-dosing and weighing buckets with acceleration/deceleration ramps adjustable to suit the product.

6. Highly developed software that consists of a wide range of combination calculation and automatic control functions operating in real time for all the multi-head / combination weighers’s parameters. These adapt to changing products and working environments.

7. High capacity, real time CAN-Open type hardware architecture. Electromagnetic interference annulment system; secondary functions can be decentralised with the advantage of reducing the time taken from data collection to processing to a minimum. The multi-head / combination weighers can be connected to external modem.

8. The multi-head / combination weighers has prime quality AISI 304 tubular stainless steel support frame with rounded corners. Easily accessible, single, dehumidified electronic control panel that complies with international safety regulations.

9. Powerful, stable processor that guarantees high performance with real-time control of all multi-head / combination weigher processes.

10. Constant control over relative humidity inside the multi-head / combination weighers to ensure greater stability of the hardware and mechanical components, with the added advantage of lengthening the components life.
