Triangle Package Machinery Co. will debut its newest technology, a stand-alone integrated zipper unit, at PACK EXPO International 2024 in Booth S-1714 November 3-6, 2024. This unit allows any existing vertical form fill seal (VFFS) bagger to be converted from traditional pillow style bags to reclosable zipper.

The company’s latest industry-first easily converts any brand of existing in-house VFFS baggers to accept 3-flange or 4-flange transverse zippers. It can be easily moved and positioned behind a variety of VFFS machines with the option to supply the machine as a mobile unit. Since operating staff is already familiar with the existing bag machine, training needs for the integrated system are minimized.

The machine’s sanitary design and field-proven zipper technology make it ideal for both dry goods and sanitary food applications. Its flexibility makes it an excellent choice for consumer-packaged goods (CPGs) companies as well as contract packagers. Non-proprietary controls from Allen-Bradley feature a new icon-based, multilingual touch screen HMI to further enhance ease of operation and accessibility. The unit comes standard with a CAT 2 safety rating, with an option for a CAT 3 rating, allowing for peace of mind in operational safety.

“This unique stand-alone zipper unit is a versatile technology that will help food producers adapt and grow in an increasingly challenging environment,” said John Cooke, Director of Sales. “Rather than having to invest in a completely new bagging machine, we’ll be able to help our customers convert to a variety of reclosable packages, while not having to purchase multiple technologies.”
