Holfeld Plastics has developed an auto de-nestable range of punnets across its standard crate fit G81 portfolio, for the soft fruit packaging industry.
The 'one size fits all' G81 auto de-nest punnet range, from the Irish rigid packaging supplier, offers various advantages to the industry packhouse.
The benefits include automation in packhouse for optimal filling of crates with empty punnets; clear efficiencies in the packhouse through improved usage of space and product flow.
According to the company, a standard de-nest gap is available across the full punnets range from 40mm to 85mm depths, and changeovers are speeded up as a result, with no adjustment to the de-nesters line.
The auto de-nest gives rise to a sealing jig and an assured finished product.
Holfeld Plastics operations director Frank Coleman said, "In this difficult climate for everyone we are determined to continue to meet our customer's expectations through the development of innovation resulting in significant packhouse overhead savings.
