APPMA to host Australian pavilion at Propak Asia 2018

The Australian Packaging & Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) is pleased to announce that it will be heading to ProPak Asia 2018 on the 13-16th June, Bangkok, Thailand to host the Australian Pavilion in the Packaging Zone for the third consecutive year.

The APPMA developed the pavilion as a way to assist Australian packaging and processing manufacturers and distributors to showcase their products and companies to the Asian market. ProPak Asia is Asia’s No.1 international processing & packaging trade event for Asia’s expanding food, drink & pharmaceutical industries. It’s Asia’s best platform to connect to the regions rapidly expanding processing and packaging industries. Going from strength to strength every year, ProPak Asia has a proven track record over 25 years of delivering the highest quality and quantity trade buyers, the greatest number and selection of international suppliers, and the best showcase of latest technology and innovations.

As industry continues to expand across Asia due to growing consumer demand, new trends, strong growth rates, increasing exports and intra-ASEAN trade ProPak Asia is the must-attend annual meeting place for the industry. ProPak Asia 2018 is once again expanding in line with demand as more and new companies join the show, increase their size, exhibit more machines and target Asian business by choosing to exhibit at ProPak Asia.

Who is exhibiting?
Exhibiting in the Australian Pavilion is Fibre King, HMPS, INOX Australia, Natec Network – Gold Peg (Australia) and Natec, Process Plant Network, Profile Solutions, Rhima Australia and the APPMA. APPMA Member companies Heat & Control and tna will also be exhibiting at the show in the processing zone.

Fibre King’s display will include a Pick and Place Top Load Case Packer designed to pack cracker biscuits and an End Load Case Packer designed for beverage cans. Both machines are very different in their design and operation showcasing the variety of solutions Fibre King have to offer in case packing technology. Their stand will also include a CP20 Palletiser which is a more traditional mechanical Palletiser built for reliability and simplicity. The low-mid speed CP20 Palletiser employs advanced pallet handling and high-level stacking resulting in the formation of tightly formed stacks. Capable of palletising all products packed in Cases, Tray and Shrink or just Shrink, the CP20 is a robust, easy to maintain and simple to operate solution for your palletising needs. Fibre King are also excited to be showcasing their new purpose built 3 axis articulated arm robot. This will be presented in demonstration format at the event and will revolutionise the way in which they load cases and collate products.

Fibre King is a 90-year-old engineering company, specialising in the design and manufacture of end of line packaging machinery. Fibre King produces case packers, palletisers, meat equipment and crate automation equipment for the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, meat, fresh produce and household and personal goods industries.

HMPS will be showcasing their new look and new design machinery and their new IoT service HMPS Connect at ProPak Asia. Naturally, they save the best for a show of this magnitude and will be launching their new machinery design at ProPak Asia. This prototype will be on display and it sports a solid mechanical design, a smaller footprint, better torsion and less vibration, paired with IoT technologies for ease-of-use. The added visibility features allow operators to view the operating status and the modular design makes this model scalable for most applications.

HMPS is one of the largest case packing and palletising machinery builders in Australia, successfully designing a vast range of packaging systems for national and international customers. They offer customers end of line packaging machinery which include: Bag in box, Carton erectors and top sealers, Wrap around case packer and sleevers, RSC top and side load case packers, Cartoners for end load, top load and tray formers, Palletisers for single or multifeed and Custom robotic solutions.

The INOX Instantiser has been successfully proven to be Australia’s food industry answer to fast, homogeneous powder/ liquid mixing and an effective solution to problems that occur with mixing systems where breaking up of difficult to mix solutions and agglomerates is present with traditional mixing equipment. INOX Instantisers rapidly dissolve and disperse viscous solids, semi solids and powders more effectively than any other system.

A specially designed impellor system combined with an appropriate vessel shape, produce a high level of turbulence to dissolve and disperse almost any food product in the most efficient and thorough manner available. INOX are excited to release their latest version of the already highly regarded high speed mixing system, the INOX Instantiser. Loading has never been easier and safer due to the reduced height of the machine. The INOX Instantiser is designed for high-speed, high shear mixing and has become a food industry household name with many installations in Australia and Asia.

Kelstream builds scraped surface heat exchangers for inline cooling or heating of your product. The Kelstream SSHE is commonly utilised in aseptic processing of foodstuffs. These heat exchangers are preferred because of their capability to process heat-sensitive, viscous, or particulate-laden products, enhance the heat transfer of viscous products, and minimise the extent of burn-on, or fouling on the heat transfer surface. They bring together the know-how of their specialists and your specific preferences. Only then can it be the infallible link in your demanding production process.

INOX is a company engaged in successfully providing solutions for food and liquid processing.
