The Small Rollstock Comes Of Age With Multivac's R140 System For The Food Industry
Kansas City, MO (March 8, 2004) – As part of its ongoing drive to give food manufacturers of all sizes the opportunity to leverage the technology of thermoform fill-seal packaging, Multivac has introduced the new R140 rollstock system. It is the smallest rollstock thermoform fill and seal system available and guarantees the same quality and reliability customers have come to expect from Multivac. The machine's competitive price point makes it the perfect entry-level machine for small processors; larger food companies can take advantage of the low cost machine to do small product runs without retooling existing packaging systems or interrupting other production lines. The R140 can also be expanded to include options such as a cleaning program, gas-flushing for MAP packaging, and photo electric registration.
As little as 10 feet in length, the fully automatic rollstock R140 is designed to save space in any packaging environment. The machine's versatility allows for the use of both flexible and semi-rigid film and extends to include cooperation with additional equipment such as slicers, coders and labelers. Built with plant sanitation in mind, the R140 features stainless steel construction and easy to clean design.
"With the launch of the R140, Multivac's legendary quality is available to more food processors and packagers than ever," says Bob Koch, director of Multivac's food division. "Companies taking advantage of this opportunity will be able to quickly improve their business with a packaging system that does not challenge space requirements or affordability. Most importantly, this lower price machine comes with the same reliability, service and support we deliver across our whole product line."
The Multivac R140 rollstock packaging system is available throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. For more information, contact Multivac at (800) 800-8552 or e-mail foodsales@multivac.com.
