New Ishida bagmaker provides maximum versatility for snacks
Ishida Europe has further consolidated its position as the leading manufacturer of complete snacks packaging solutions with the launch of a new vertical form fill seal ( VFFS ) bagmaker . With 30 % increase in speed compared to previous models , the INSPIRA Boxmotion is particularly effective for food manufacturers that want to reduce costs and ensure an error-free production whilst maintaining a flexible operation to meet the everchanging customer needs .
According to Euromonitor International , value sales of snacks are expected to show higher growth rates during 2022 to 2026 than in 2020 and 2021 , and healthy snacks are projected to see the highest CAGR . Innovation will continue to drive the sector with emerging trends including the introduction of sustainable packaging , diverse world food flavours , functional foods , on-the-go snacks and a greater range of packaging sizes and formats to satisfy consumer demands .
Rising energy costs , skilled labour shortages , and supply chain issues are just some of the challenges facing our snacks customers today .
To meet these challenges and market requirements , snacks manufacturers are seeking exceptional levels of adaptability and future proofing from their packaging equipment .
The Ishida INSPIRA Box Motion bagmaker can operate in both continuous and intermittent motion modes . This enables it to handle the widest variety of both product and pack formats , including the introduction of recyclable film and paper packs , while maintaining excellent seal quality and integrity .
Box motion technology enables the sealing jaw motion to operate in both vertical and in / out horizontal planes . This means more uniform pressure is applied over the entire area of the jaws , whereas rotary jaws can only make a single point of contact as they rotate together . As well as ensuring a more consistent and reliable seal , box motion technology can handle all the latest pack formats which , in addition to pillow packs , include side gusset , block bottom , chain packs and flat bottom .
The INSPIRA Box Motion features a new splice table light-bar for easier and faster automatic film splicing overcoming the challenges associated with manual intervention . Capable of completing a film splice cycle in just 20 seconds , this great addition allows operators to manage more machines per head and can result in huge operational cost savings .
