Redesigned Case Liner
OK International has redesigned its stainless-steel
case liner, the Superliner SL220. Enhanced controls and an improved
sequence make the machine capable of running up to 18 cycles per minute.
The machine makes bags with an adjustable length from rolls of continuous
gusseted tubing. The bag is opened and placed into a case, crate, drum or
tray with the neck cuffed over the edges, providing a hygienic container
ready for filling with a variety of food and non-food products. Other
standard features of the machine include a dual-roll holder for easy
loading and changing of the rolls of film, a stainless-steel conveyor and
Allen Bradley controls with self diagnostics.
