YPS: Peak production period mastered with additional packaging capacity

YPS Peak production period mastered with additional packaging capacity
Supplier News

A major cheese supplier has prepared for their pre-Christmas peak production period by sourcing additional packaging capacity. The dairy specialists have secured a fully automatic Pratika L-sealer and double chamber tunnel from Yorkshire Packaging Systems (YPS).

The ability to save programmes for different products to the Pratika L-sealer shrink wrapper was particularly attractive for the manufacturer as it facilitates extremely quick changeovers between product runs. The accompanying double chamber tunnel, in combination with the L-sealer, delivers high throughput.

YPS MD, Glyn Johnson, explined: This customer focusses on the premium heritage brands that so many of us enjoy during the festive period, so they feel the pressure on their production systems at this time of year.
Having sourced equipment from YPS in the past, they knew we would provide the ideal solution to help them manage this busy time.

In addition, the shrink-wrapping system was supplied with a rolling belt conveyor, which ensures that no point on the wrapped pack remains constantly in contact with the conveyor. This eliminates potential marking on the pack, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing finish.

YPS are also supplying film for the cheese distributor’s packaging systems.

The customer wanted a high gloss, premium finish that reflected their quality brands on the shelf. The film supplied also had to be breathable for these products. We’re supplying them with material that fulfils these requirements and works perfectly with their equipment, from the wide range of food-contact-approved shrink wrap that we stock.
