All-rounder for packing and unpacking
High output and flexibility are key qualifications
The packing and unpacking process in a beverage plant must run like clockwork. Fast and gentle container handling and high flexibility to suit a wide variety of containers are the basic pre-requisites. On top of that, a packing and unpacking machine should be easily integrated into operational sequences and smoothly fit into the line layout. The Linapac II fully meets these requirements.
Last but not least: Empties sorting systems, as well, benefit from its high-performance technology.
