OCME to exhibit New Generation VEGA Shrink-Wrap Packer at Drinktec 2009

OCME S.r.l. from Parma Italy, a world leader in packaging, filling, handling and palletising systems for the consumer products industry, will exhibit at Drinktec 2009, held in Munich from 14^th to 19^th September 2009.  OCME will be located in Hall B5, Stand 602.

Following on from  the success of the 1^st generation VEGA machine, which has seen approximately 800 units installed worldwide, OCME will showcase the new generation VEGA Shrink-Wrap Packer at Drinktec, highlighting design improvements which include:-

• Production energy consumption reduced by 20%  and by 38% at start-up, which has been achieved by the inclusion of a new low consumption shrink tunnel and high efficiency motor drives resulting in a reduced carbon footprint

• Improved accessibility for operators and maintenance; with full vision safety guards, and a rail mounted sliding control panel for operation along the length of the machine

• Improved access for maintenance of components by placing belts in the film feeding ramp, and the belt in the film wrapping section on extractable trolleys

• Plug & play configuration – electrical panels are mounted on the top of the machine and cables are pre-connected for a faster set-up.

• Fully automatic size change – individual motorized belts in the selection area with zero pressure feed.

• An operator interface with self-learning features

VEGA’s range of shrink-wrap packers is available for film only, film + pad and film + tray packages and a range of speeds from 30 to 450 packs per minute.
