New, easy to use thermal transfer printer for flexible packaging

Its modern, compact design includes 7″ touch screen which allows fields to be easily added or removed from each message.

Messages are simply created on a PC and loaded via USB.

Some key benefits:

  • Very little maintenance – patented long life mechanical design and free ribbon feeding system ensure ribbon flows smoothly even in high volume operations
  • Extremely clear impression every time – 300dpi print head for barcodes, logos and text
  • Flexible ribbon economy mode – for intermittent or continuous use

New checkweigher now available!

The highly customisable modular design allows the checkweigher to be integrated with a metal detection system, 2 ejectors or 2 labellers. Adjustments can also be made to types of guides, length of tapes and width of transport.

The key benefits of the system are the speed and simplicity, with the ability to process 270 units/minute combined with its touch screen equipped with wireless and bluetooth connections.

It also comes with an integrated printer which allows easy analysis of statistics at the end of each run (e.g. number of rejects).

It is most suitable for food (fresh produce, ready meals, dairy) and pharmaceutical production lines, as it can handle huge volumes and it extremely easy to clean.

Giro control fresh produce packhouse equipment through central hub

Operating through a standard PC and connected through the network or through the Internet, Packhouse Managers can now monitor and analyse real time or saved data, e.g. number of bags, efficiency, stoppages and breakdowns – categorised by machine, line and date – for a tighter and more efficient control system.

The GirControl Plus collates data all in one central location, instead of at each individual machine, with a 2 way exchange of data. This hub is an office-based PC which can quickly and easily review the settings and current status of every machine connected to it through the network.

Furthermore, minor engineering faults can be solved remotely. Anyone can log onto the system from any computer connected to the Internet, provided they have been given access codes. This in turn means call-outs can be reduced as engineers will be able to identify errors, advise on corrective measures and even modify some settings without travelling to site. Despite this easy access, information travelling through the network is securely protected.
