New shrink wrapper sees Anglian Meat sales soar

Pet food products manufacturer, Anglian Meat Product Ltd, has reported an 8% increase in sales following the installation of a new Bradman Lake Group RTSW (Right Angled Tight Sleeve Wrapper) shrink wrapper.

Brought in to replace a dispatch packing system, the RTSW shrink wrapper has also allowed the company to significantly reduce the packaging waste resulting from its previous system of labeling straight onto cases, which then had to be disposed of. The new system now allows the company to label the film on pet food packs, then collect and reuse the board trays once the customer has finished with them.

Keith Quantrill Anglian Meat’s Site Manager says: “This shrink wrapper has delivered a solid return on investment, improved reliability of the packaging line equipment and enhanced pack presentation. We looked at other companies’ technologies before deciding to invest in the Bradman Lake RTSW model. Our decision wasn’t based on price; we selected Bradman Lake as they had clear advantages over other suppliers in terms of reputation, local support and the professionalism of the team”.

Philip Crozier, Area Sales Manager, Bradman Lake, commented “With decades of experience and thousands of installations to our credit, we have developed cutting-edge shrink wrapper products such as our RTSW and ITSW (Inline Tight Sleeve Wrapper), which offer genuine reliability, cost-saving and waste reduction opportunities for our clients.

“Ideal for a range of industries including food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, aerosol, print, paper and bottling, our combined board and film machines include tray erect and loading, flat board support and sleeve wrapping, at an average throughput of 25 to 30 packs per minute. A host of bespoke features such as twin wrapping head machines with single or dual in-feed mean that we can optimise every installation in line with each client application”.
