Represented in the United Kingdom by Aetna UK, Euroimpianti can now add a well-known Turkish producer of starch and its derivatives, to their ever-expanding base of satisfied customers.
The first systems have gone into operation in Germany and have proven to be very successful.
Aetna believes there are many applications in the UK where these banders will be very useful and highly economic.
In addition, the latest version of the Robtoplat 2000A will demonstrate the economic use of industrial turntable models for those moving on from semi auto turntables.
This model has been popular throughout the world for many years and this latest version is even more effective.
The third Aetna Group Company, DIMAC, has made great strides over the past year with the further re-development of their single roll shrink wrapping systems.
Detailed research was carried out across Europe amongst packaging engineers to find out exactly what was required from the large choice of these systems now available.
Having listened well, the new ST@R system was introduced into the market at the end of last year and is proving to be just as good as hoped.
The range is full of very practical features, is all-electronic in function, uses no change parts and doesn't have that infuriating 'black box'.
With models available for wrapping speeds from 30 to 60 and all very competitively priced, Aetna are confident about prospects for the year ahead.
The model on show will be the ST@R 60F with continuous infeed.
And from the fourth group manufacturing plant, Weitek, there is on show a range of weighing and bagging systems to really catch the eye.
Weitek, who joined the Group some three years ago, have worked hard to bring their wide product range up to the standards required by International Markets.
The results can now be clearly seen with major installations in the past twelve months in the UK, China, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Australia, Brazil and Russia.
Bagging will be represented by the automatic tubular bag filling systems, WFM 1200,suitable for dusty products and WFG 500 suitable for granular, free flowing products.
There will also be seven different weighing systems on show to illustrate the variety of technology now available from Weitek.
A growing percentage of Weitek weighers are being supplied to OEMs for inclusion in other packaging systems.
All in all, an exciting display across a wide range of end packaging machinery which further illustrates the ability of the Aetna Group to be seriously considered for most end packaging applications in all markets.
With a well established structure to provide the highest level of technical and after sales support across Europe and through the Middle and Far East, the Group are confident that real growth will be maintained, in spite of the present economic difficulties throughout the manufacturing industries.
