Compact wrapping machine uses ultrasonic sealing
Compact wrapping machine that uses ultrasonic sealing technology is believed to be a major breakthrough for flat product wrapping and can include an embossed pattern.
The checkweigher has been developed for the food sector, including those dealing with meat and poultry, dairy, and fresh produce and is claimed to be capable of handling pack weights between 10g and 40kg, at speeds of up to 75 per minute.
Advanced Dynamics said that the machine features an easy-clean design, multi-lane use with touch screen control, feedback and data management in percentage terms and on-line networking capabilities.
The Tesab TC 3 is said to be designed to help food processors comply with the traceability laws enforced in last January under the EU's General Food Law legislation (178/2002), which states that food manufacturers must be able to trace food through all stages of production, processing and distribution.

Web cleaners remove 1 micron particles
A range of web cleaning systems are ideal for combating nuisance dust particles - down to 1 micron - collected during printing, coating and laminating processes.
The new system has been introduced to meet with the changes in the law and has been designed in stainless steel to improve efficiency and traceability through the food chain, added the company.
Its Windows XP-based software provides communications to other computer systems and operational parameters can be stored in the computer memory.
Information provided on a touch-screen display includes piece-count with average weight, actual average weight, a count of overs and unders and a record of the line speed.
Additional options include a combination metal detector, removable conveyors, a printer for data management, a scanner for multi-product batches, alternative rejects and it can be custom built to accommodate individual needs.
Director of Advanced Dynamics, Malcolm Little, believes the Windows XP software is a distinct advantage to the Tesab checkweighing equipment.
He commented: "The real benefit of the Tesab TC 3 is its intelligent management software.
It is easy to operate and feeds back accessible and logical information that would otherwise be difficult to track." The Tesab TC 3 was launched at the UK's PPMA show at the NEC in Birmingham, and was accompanied by complementary equipment from the Advanced Dynamics range, including batch control systems, product feeding and labelling equipment, as well as static management products.
"Advanced Dynamics and its customers continue to benefit from the Tesab range and I'm confident this new model will stir up even more interest within the food sector," Little added.
