Oct 22, 2012. /Lesprom Network/. At Pack Expo in Chicago OYSTAR presents flexible, innovative machines for the food, consumer products, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. The exhibits cover the whole value chain from primary packaging to end-of-line packaging, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network. OYSTAR IWK, for example, displays a tube filling and packaging line consisting of the fully automated tube feeder TZ 201 with an output of up to 300 tubes per minute and the filling platform FP 46-2, the latest model from their current machine generation. The FP 46-2 fills and seals up to 220 tubes per minute. Subsequently, the tubes are transferred to the SC 4 cartoner that processes up to 450 cartons per minute. The packaging line not only packs tubes, but also other products as demonstrated by OYSTAR IWK at PACK EXPO several times a day when a format changeover from tubes to bottles is executed within 5 minutes only. Furthermore, OYSTAR IWK presents the dosing system Rotary Lobe Pump, an independent module that can be combined with any filling machine via plug & play. The usage of a rotary lobe pump unit remarkably reduces setup and cleaning times. This is achieved by using less product contacted surfaces and sealing materials than in a rotary vane piston dosage. In addition, less water is needed for flushing. The OYSTAR Group is one of the world’s leading providers of complete solutions for packaging machines.
