Multivac Marking & Inspection will be presenting its marking solutions for trays, thermoformed packs and vacuum packs of meat and sausage products, as well as inspection systems at IFFA 2013 in Frankfurt on May 4 to 9, 2013.
The Multivac Group has been expanding its range of inspection systems over the past year. Its Multivac seal seam scanner, a checkweigher with integrated metal detector and the Multivac X-ray inspection systems will be on display. Some of these products are scheduled for release on the market in May 2013.
The curtainless X-ray system, which is integrated in a traysealer line, can check even very light products without these being held back by lead curtains or shifted on the transport conveyor.
Using its MVS seal seam scanner, Multivac will be demonstrating how its inspection system, which scans the seal seams whilst these are still in the thermoforming packaging machine. It is there in the machine where the film, and therefore also the seal seam, is held very precisely, that the reliability of the image taking is increased.
With the checkweighers of the MR820 series, Multivac has completed its product range for turnkey, end-to-end packaging lines. The checkweighers are available in three weight ranges, and a version with an integrated multi-frequency metal detector is also available as a combined solution.
Single operation via HMU 2.0
Visitors will be able to see how the marking of trays, thermoformed packs and vacuum packs of meat and sausage products perform by means of various conveyor belt labellers from the MR300 series, and also by the MR625 cross web labeller and MR293 direct web printer. All the exhibits in the marking products sector, including all the printers used, will be operated for the first time at IFFA via the Multivac HMI 2.0 user interface.
Michael Reffke, product manager for Marking Technology at Multivac, explains: "The integration of our marking systems in the HMI 2.0 has the benefit that operators no longer have to change between different user interfaces. This means that we can reduce the number of control terminals in a Multivac packaging line and also the necessary cabling. The packaging machine on which a cross web labeller or direct web printer is fitted, or alternatively a conveyor belt labeller with several label dispensers and printers, becomes easier and clearer to operate and more hygienic in its construction."
