Edson Packaging Machinery, that manufactures robust, high-performance case and tray packaging systems, is set to launch the Raptor SL, a high performance automated case packing solution for small to mid-sized companies in the at-home and away-from-home tissue industry, at Tissue World 2016, from March 15 to 17, 2016, in New Orleans, in booth #A200.

The new machine enables tissue suppliers to boost production and support increased sales while lowering packaging line labour costs. The new Raptor SL is an all-in-one fully integrated side-load machine that erects, packs, and hot-melt seals up to 12 cases per minute of at-home and away-from-home bath tissue, paper towels, napkins, and facial tissue. The Raptor SL will feature ProTech by Pro Mach, the new cloud-based remote tech support and machine monitoring capability that ensures peak performance and throughput, according to a press release.

The Raptor SL lowers end of line labour costs by reducing both the number of workers and overall time associated with case packing.

Operators can access vital machine functions and information from a touchscreen interface, including recipes for various stock keeping units, alarm settings, production data, and maintenance documentation – print, diagram, and video. The Raptor SL offers fully integrated safety motion control.

Jeff Werner, vice president and general manager at Edson said, “The Raptor SL allows small and medium sized suppliers in the at-home and the away-from-home tissue markets to affordably step up to higher output and productivity through integrated case erecting, packing, and sealing. Some low-volume operations may be able to route two or even three lines into the Raptor SL for greater overall throughput with less labour. Tissue World 2016 attendees can see the Raptor SL in action and discuss with knowledgeable Edson personnel how this automated solution can support company growth and profitability.” (GK)
