Ghezzi & Annoni has sold an FA300 fully automatic slitter, complete with a full wrapping and pick and place packaging line to Advance Tapes International, of Leicester, UK. Supplied though UK agent Eurograv, the equipment is due to be installed in the spring of 2010 and will be the second of its type in the UK.
Integrated with the 1,650 mm slitter is G&A’s new ATI 30 tape packaging machine. This can pack rolls individually, as a tower pack or as a concertina pack, delivering up to 30 packs/min to an IP120 pick and place box filling machine with silicone interleaving. A labelling applicator, automatic carton erection and sealing system completes the line, which can be linked to the end user’s fully robotic palletising system.
“The FA300 will change a significant proportion of the way Advance Tapes currently convert its product,” comments Eurograv director Mike Attard. “Higher outputs and lower staffing levels will allow it to reduce operating costs significantly whilst allowing for extra capacity for future growth and expansion.”
