AQFlex will operate at any speed and produces 1,000 to 100,000 containers per hour with energy savings of up to 60%.
Sidel in charge of Colombia and account manager Ruben Ramos said: “With consumer demand constantly changing, the key today for producers looking to increase both performance and longevity is to take a more holistic approach to production.
“The best solutions go beyond the simple choice of equipment. It starts at the very outset of any production line - with optimum results coming from the technical and technological know-how and packaging expertise of a full solution partner like Sidel.”
