Vegetable packing experts Pace Mechanical Handling will showcase its range of robot palletisers, weighers, sack placers and stitchers at LAMMA.
Having recently completed its 250th installation and having been appointed sole UK importer and distributor to TMI, Pace director Nick Cesare says now is the ideal time for the company to make its LAMMA debut.
“Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in enquiries and orders from packers and growers looking to increase efficiencies and cope with labour shortages.”
Partnership
“Historically, our business has grown due to word of mouth and recommendations from happy clients. This is very much still the case, but we feel that our partnership with TMI takes us to another level and we’re keen to really promote ourselves.”
Established in 2000, TMI is one of Spain’s leading bagging, palletizing and wrapping machinery manufacturers, offering an extensive range of end-of-line machines, which are used by some of the world’s largest manufacturing companies in 25 countries.
Visitors to the Pace stand will be able to find out about TMI’s latest innovation – the Ilerbox protection system for palletised products, which reduces the number of people required and lowers the number of costly pallet boxes used.
The Ilerbox automatic wrapping system places a protective layer of corrugated cardboard around the pallet, This is then stretch-wrapped securely to protect the product in transit and storage.
“We are very much looking forward to introducing it to people at LAMMA. As well as Ilerbox, we will also be showcasing our own range of robotic palletizing and mechanical handling solutions,” adds Mr Cesare.
Pace products are popular with packhouses and vegetable growers wanting to introduce on-farm packing. The comapny says the combination of increased throughput and reduced staffing is faster and less expensive than traditional packing methods.
Pace Handling Solutions are on stand 952 in Hall 8.
