Spiral conveyors effect smooth vertical transfer
A low friction chain slat arrangement is used in spiral conveyors to provide continuous, smooth vertical transfer of product in either direction from upper and lower levels.
Its manufacturer, Pactiv Jiffy, said that the design classic is still the UK's number one brand for protective mailing bags and the gold-coloured padded bags have proven to be indispensable across a wide range of industries over the years.
Completely environmentally friendly, Jiffy padded bags are filled with macerated recycled paper fibre padding with a printable outer.
Manufactured in the UK, the bags are available in 10 sizes, ranging from 442mm x 661mm to 105mm x 229mm and able to accommodate any size of parcel.
Jiffy can also make made to order bespoke size bags.
The company pointed out that many consumers are unaware that when a Jiffy padded bag is shaken, the 100 per cent recyclable internal fibres fluff up inside the bag.
That enhances the bag's protective qualities and offers even more padding and protection around the enclosed parcel.
The Jiffy bag's level of heavy-duty protection, even for bulky items, means that it offers up to three times the protection and burst strength of its bubble-lined counterparts, said the company.
Lisa Booth, the marketing manager at Pactiv Jiffy said: "Jiffy is famous for mailing and we are very proud to celebrate 40 years of the Jiffy padded bag.".
