SAUKVILLE, Wis., September 23, 2019 – Matrix Packaging Machinery, a product brand of ProMach, is the must-see destination to visit at PACK EXPO 2019 for all your flexible packaging solutions. Matrix will have 12 packaging machines, including vertical and horizontal form fill seal, stick pack, sachet, and pre-made pouch, fully operational and demonstrating its capabilities in booth# C-3116 at PACK EXPO 2019, September 23-25, in Las Vegas.
One thing you’ll definitely notice when visiting Matrix at PACK EXPO is their level of commitment to sustainability. Matrix works closely with its customers to develop packaging solutions that can meet traditional customer packaging requirements, as well as new sustainability goals. Multiple film types including compostable and recyclable films can run efficiently on many of Matrix’s machines. By visiting booth # C-3116, you can see how a variety of these films, including “green” films, perform in action, and learn how Matrix can help you meet your packaging goals in 2020 and beyond.
Matrix will be performing live demonstrations on the following machines at PACK EXPO:
Matrix Morpheus Series
The Morpheus, a continuous box-motion bagger, allows users in food packaging, and industries alike, to run a variety of films at faster speeds and with better accuracy.
The Morpheus uses a continuous-motion, high-speed jaw system that is unique from other vertical form fill seal machines, because the film never stops. The jaw system cuts the film and provides just enough dwell time for the three bag seams to properly seal. This innovative feature allows users to achieve higher fill rates up to 200 bags per minute, and is why the Morpheus is Matrix’s most advanced vertical form fill seal machine.
In action at the Matrix booth, a standard Morpheus machine will be demonstrating its capabilities by using a compostable film to create bags filled with ground coffee while a Morpheus XL machine will showcase how it can efficiently run larger bags with craft paper film.
The Morpheus series comes in three different machines to best meet users’ production requirements:
- Morpheus: Standard machine with up to 12-inch bag width
- Morpheus AB: Includes Rockwell controls; up to 12-inch bag width
- Morpheus XL: Accommodates up to 15-inch bag width
Mercury
The Mercury is a high-speed vertical form fill seal machine that’s capable of filling up to 140 bags per minute. Known for its easy operation and quick changeover and setup, it can accommodate bag widths between 2” and 11”, and bag lengths between 3” and 15”. The Mercury is a great cost-effective packaging solution as it features a small footprint, stainless- steel frame, automatic film tracking, a registered film sensor and more.
Matrix will be showcasing three Mercury’s throughout the show. In the Matrix booth, two of the machines will be filling bags with sunflower kernels and a pre-packaged spinner respectively. In the ID Technology booth (C-3225), a Matrix’s Mercury will be running empty bags and showcasing the ID Technologies Flex-Pac labeler.
Elete Premier
The Elete Premier, a vertical form fill seal machine that is a high-performance, totally configurable packaging solution for larger bags, will be using a 100% recyclable film to make bags made to package lettuce at PACK EXPO. Capable of filling rates up to 120 bags per minute, this Matrix Elete features a stainless steel, sanitary design for customers requiring more hygienic attributes in their filling machine. All major components, including fasteners, bearings, shafts and motors are suitable for washdown environments.
Matrix is the master distributor of the three foremost flexible packaging brands: FLtècnics, INV PACK, and Toyo Jidoki. Machines from all three brands will be in action in Matrix’s booth C-3116 at PACK EXPO.
