Presto Products Company (www.fresh-lock.com) announces the launch of a new zipper tape to help manufacturers of Individual Quick Frozen (IQF) foods improve line efficiencies. Presto showcased the resealable, press-to-close technology at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015. The zipper tape is specially designed for un-supported poly-bag applications on vertical form, fill and seal machinery.
Though vertical form, fill and seal equipment represents an operational industry standard for IQF meat, poultry, vegetable and fruit packagers, many zipper tapes still pose considerable challenges on fully automated lines. These challenges can present a roadblock to manufacturers, relegating them to the use of semi-automated equipment and – in some cases – inhibiting growth. To help these manufacturers advance their operations, Presto’s unique zipper tape is designed for high-efficiency runs on fully automated vertical form, fill and seal machinery.
