Best New Product Finalists announced

The finalists are out for the 2015 Best New Product Award which will be awarded on March 25 at the 2015 APPMA Industry Excellence Awards.

The Best New Product Award is designed to recognise the most innovative product or equipment in the packaging and processing industry that is launched in Australia for the first time during AUSPACK 2015.

The finalists:

CLP Casepacker (Case Packing Systems)

The CLP Casepacker is a highly flexible compact designed pick and place casepacking machine with simplicity in mind. The system loads products into plastic crates, corrugated cases or open top trays (with or without stacking shoulders) automatically.

Skyfall Conveyor System (Denipro)

Skyfall is the conveyor system for Distribution, Logistics and Industrial applications and is a highly flexible conveyor and processing system that can be used across a wide range of industries. It has been designed for conveying from A to B, Linking processes in a simple way, compensating of varying process speeds, decoupling processes by buffering, order-picking, sorting, processing, controlling.

Coffee Pod Cartoning Machine (HMPS)

This HMPS8000 is a carton erector and robotic pick and place system for small pre-sealed product (pods), and is manufactured at HMPS in Adelaide, Australia. The major requirements of the coffee pod cartooning machine were to provide a means of conveying the coffee pods from two different types of filling machines to the HMPS8000 Carton Packing Cell, with the proviso that either system could be used with minor changes required.

HEUFT prime (Heuft SystemTechnik GMBH)

The HEUFT prime combines tried and tested modules for examining fill levels, closures, internal pressure and labels as well as detecting burst bottles and serial faults with a very high degree of automation and a revolutionary new user guidance.

Packaging Safety System (SICK)

The guarding or protection of the Infeed Zone has always been a challenge for designers and engineers which often leads to complex machine design. The solution to this is the use of two optical sensors in combination with a safety relay for redundant presence and position control at the infeed zone delivering personnel safety. The new safety solution designed by SICK is more economical and easy to install without interfering in machine operability and also aligns with the AS4044 standard.

Domino A520i IP66 inkjet printer (insignia)

The Domino A520i continuous inkjet printer has been designed to meet the specific needs of wash down or very dusty environments using marine grade stainless steel. The IP66 electronics sealed enclosure is cooled using an innovative plenum cooling system. The total cost of ownership is significantly reduced through the combination of ultra-low make up usage and service-free operation through the innovative i-Tech ink system.

IRB1200 Case Packing Robot (ABB Australia)

The IRB 1200 is a fast, compact case-packing robot that is ideally suited for high speed pick-and-place applications, particularly case packing and the loading of thermoform packaging machines. The IRB’s compactness is achieved by design as it has no offset in axis two. This innovation results in a longer stroke than other robots, meaning the IRB 1200 can work very close to its base and still be functional.

A-Series Label Printer Applicator (Matthews Australasia)

The unique and brilliant A-Series Label Printer Applicator is the easiest-to-use print-and apply system on the market. It is ideal for manufacturers with very high demands on ease of use and uptime. The A-Series only uses sealed ball-bearings, giving maximum working life — even in rough environments.

Ulysses Shelf Ready Case Packer (Walls Machinery/Adaptapack)

This new machine has been specifically designed to offer a robotic, automated packaging solution for shelf ready products, a growing trend in today’s market. The Ulysses uses patented collation system offers simple collation for product lines. It has a small footprint and the flexible design can be tailored to suit the individual customers’ needs, easily being combined with existing case erecting/sealing equipment if required.
