Pack strapping technology saves money, environment

Krones LitePac is a pack strapping technology that provides a complete pack system including a new packaging design for PET containers--the Evolite packer.

A resource-economical alternative to film-wrapped shrink-packs, the Evolite packer is comprised of a container infeed module and a container-strapping module. In the infeed module, the containers are divided into two continuous lane flows. Four strapping units then create the LitePac packs in the container strapping module.

The system features fewer conveyors, a reduced footprint, a simpler line layout, a smaller storage area in both the warehouse and the supermarket, and less pallet traffic. Said to provide more than 50% cost savings compared to shrink film as a packaging material.
