RH Plastics Technology has announced the availability in the UK of the latest horizontal film-wrapping machine from Hamer Packaging Technology of Spain.

The Hamer K2 is a fully automatic machine specifically designed to meet the demands of contract packers where format change is frequent and also for long runs at high output rates.

The K2 fits into Hamer's extremely flexible modular system where each unit is an independently performing module capable of seamless interaction with complementary units which can be programmed to work as a whole via a single PLC.

Modules such as Shrink Tunnels can be added to the K2 machine to create a single unit capable of cross sealing, side sealing and shrink-wrapping either with Poliolafine or PE film.
