All-rounder in fastener packaging 04 March 2015

Weighpack International (WPI Services BV) is a specialist in fastener inspection and packaging equipment, providing a full range of single and multiple inspection/packaging machines.

Inspecting the product during the packaging process has become an accepted and important part of the fastener manufacturing process – especially fastener products for the automotive industry, where the requirements for zero-defect products have become more popular.
Through the high-speed inspection/counting process within the Weighpack machines, outputs between 80,000 and 100,000 fasteners per hour are possible. Straightforward high-speed packing/weighing equipment is also available for products that are less sensitive to quality demands.
Weighpack machines can pack products into box, blister, poly bag or KLT returnable plastic container handling systems. They can also incorporate carton erecting, filling, closing, labelling and palletising.
Weighpack says its range of machines for packing into poly bags are particularly popular where low volumes of high-weight steel products are involved.
