Industrial Washing Machines (IWM) - exhibiting at the PPMA show Industrial Washing Machines (IWM) will be exhibiting at the PPMA show, a brand new T400 tray washer, the CW13 EX BT general- purpose cabinet utensil washer and the new range of boot washers which are ideal for food and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. Visitors to the event, which is being held at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham from the 1st to the 3rd of October, will be able to view IWM’s products and discuss their applications and benefits on stand B104. The T400 single-lane continuous-wash tray washer which will be taking centre stage at the event, is ideally suited for smaller to medium throughputs, or where operational space is at a premium. The T400 can accommodate up to 400 trays, crates or boxes per hour. It is typically supplied in a continuous straight-through tunnel configuration but overhead feed for one-person operation is optionally available, as are twin-tank versions for high care applications. IWM will also be showcasing its highly regarded CW13 EX BT cabinet washer which boasts solid construction and user-friendly operation. The new CW13 EX BT general- purpose cabinet washer provides efficient batch washing for a wide range of items, including trays, machine components/ change parts, weigh pans, buckets and utensils. This cabinet washer has been designed with hygiene in mind, with an internal self-cleaning function and the interior of the machine being completely rounded with no right angles. The machine is supplied with standard reinforced pull-out washing trays measuring 1320 mm x 700 mm, and can accommodate items up to 820 mm high. For convenient handling of heavier items, such as machine parts, smaller trays are optionally available. Another important hygiene solution exhibited by IWM is represented by the new boot and shoe washing stations range that are ideal for food manufacturing plants and designed specifically for areas where the production and clean zones of a food manufacturing facility meet. The machines come in many varieties, from simple manual versions to sophisticated walk-through models with multiple brushes, automatic chemical dispensing and access control options. If you would like to see any of the above machines in action, simply arrange a meeting with one of the IWM specialists or drop by for an informal chat on the day.

Now Goldcrest have combined with Nilpeter, one of the leading Print machine manufacturers in the world and installed a fully loaded, state of the art 8 colour Flexographic press, in order to take label design to take another level. “In configuring the press we were able to take advantage of some of the latest innovative bolt on features that we knew specifically were in demand. This means we are ready to take label design and construction to another level. It is exactly what we were looking for so we are to offer customers exciting opportunities to make their labels work harder when marketing their products.
