(RCU) to match the production speed and film
characteristics, creating optimum seals for any film.
POEX has a long-standing relationship with Ishida,
with 10 multihead weighers, 12 checkweighers
and four x-ray inspection systems already installed
throughout its four factories. Nevertheless, the
company had some doubts as to whether the iTPS
could deliver on its speed requirements.
“Although we are well aware of Ishida’s capabilities,
even we wondered whether the iTPS could meet
the speeds we needed,” explains production
manager Jaroslav Caha. “However, because the
Ishida solution is specifically designed for snacks
applications, it has provided exactly what we
needed from the start and we are very happy.”
Another benefit of the iTPS, says Jaroslav, is the
fast and easy changeovers that can be achieved.
“Whereas some bagmakers could take up to two
hours for a changeover, with the Ishida we can
complete this is less than half an hour,” he explains.
