Posimat at Emballage World Packaging Exhibition 2008
Wednesday 29. October 2008 - POSIMAT, world leader in unscrambling technology (Unscramblers, Silos and Air conveyors) presents its latest solutions at EMBALLAGE World Packaging Exhibition 2008 (Paris, 17-21 November)
Among the products Posimat will present, there will be the Posijet, the only Air Conveyor with double guide. Find out about its multiple possibilities, such as its new applications for conveying other products such as trays, boxes, etc., or its Vertijet system, the first and only vertical air conveyor capable of going up (or down) at any inclination from 0 to 90º with or without accumulation.
Posijet has the advantage of being able to handle bottles and products that others systems cannot convey, thanks to these four features:
– DOUBLE GUIDE. The double guide profile encapsulates the bottle above and below the neck ring preventing the marking of the bottle shoulders and reducing potential air pocket turbulence, creating more bottle stability at very high line speeds.
– PRECISELY DIRECTED AIRFLOW. The unique bi-directional louvre pattern concentrates up to 85% of the air around the neck ring and the body of the bottle. This precisely directed airflow reduces levels of contamination, increases bottle velocity, reduces bottle jams and maintains the bottle in a more vertical position at speeds higher than 1200 bpm.
– SUITABLE TO WORK WITH SHORT NECK BOTTLES. The new trend on PET bottles due to cost saving. With Posijet, the airflow is precisely directed and reaches the desired points of the bottle, even with short neck bottles. This is not possible with other air conveyors where the air flow does not concentrate at all, becoming therefore absolutely inefficient.
– REDUCES THE FRICTION. With the reverse angle design of the neck guides, they are only in point contact with the neck ring of the bottle. The airflow allows a cushion of air to be created between the guides and the neck ring which greatly reduces the friction, resulting in lower operating air pressures and reduced fan operating power consumption.
Visitors to the stand will have the chance to see the Posiflex-20 unscrambler, the most flexible, versatile and fast changeover system available in the market.
Instantaneous adjustment to an indefinite range of bottle formats: manually or automatically, by pressing a button. It allows adding new formats without extra change parts.
Here follow some of its main advantages:
– Flexibility; it can accept future bottles of all types, by simply introducing the parameters of the new bottle in the control panel, without the need to buy any handling parts.
– Versatility; The same machine can accept bottles of both different shapes and sizes.
– Truly instantaneous adjustment to new formats In only seconds, all the machines selecting pieces and funnels adapt simultaneously.
– Simple and reliable format change
– Ideal for frequent format changes
– Total ACCESS; allows viewing all the stages during the unscrambling process.
At last there is The Posilite unscrambler: conceived to meet the needs of the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. This machine can work with or without Compressed air.
Despite not all of Posimat Product range will be present at Emballage 2008, visitors to the stand will be informed about any of the firms new products and systems such as its Posisilo; a silo system with modular design and discharge flap system, which allows handling very delicate bottles without damage, the Posijet- Cans; an air conveyor for empty cans with single lining system, as well as a wide range of solutions and unscramblers for low and high speeds (up to 1.000bpm)
