AutoPack – The new AutoPack system autonomously picks up bags from the folding system, places them onto a packing surface, and then automatically inserts them into a box.

ASP 300 – The ASP-300 collection system, patented by BMTEK, solves the challenge of handling bundles of up to 300 bags in a single pack, while eliminating operator strain. This fully automatic and innovative solution for bottom-sealed bag folding increases efficiency, improves reliability, and reduces operating time. The system removes the need for operators to manually insert bags into blue tubes (dispensers typically used for bundles of 250–300 pieces).

ROLL TO ROLL 1400 – Braked unwinder single file + shuttle 1400 sealing unit + AMW winder with lifting device and automatic roll weighting system. Machine available for delivery in 4 to 5 months. Video of the AWM producing 240/250 micron gusseted film https://we.tl/t-8Rb35Q3KxY1Q8wqg

SMART LINE 2150 – MPLR motorized unwinder + smart 2150 with lateral sealing + Folding unit 1-fold

Our project with our customer Flexipol epitomises the sustainable category. Flexipol set out to achieve a zero-waste goal and have now eliminated their offsite recycling by bringing it all in house, using a closed loop operation. The semi automatic Plasmac Alpha S Plus repelletising extruder works inline, turning scrap into high quality recycled material, requiring minimal operator time. It is energy efficient and payback has been achieved in a matter of months.

Considerable savings have been made, not only financially but in terms of reduced energy consumption, zero transport usage and all recycled material goes straight back into the production process.

UK Extrusion will continue to support Flexipol with consumables and spares and preventative maintenance visits by our UK based engineers.

How do you recycle your scrap? Can UK Extrusion improve your processes and save you money and resources? We have a range of Plasmac machinery, capable of repelletising many types and forms of material, from 45 kgs/hr to 350 kgs /hr. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
