Standard-Knapp produced the Continuum system which enables bottling firms to bottle and packs their products which have already been successfully installed by a team of contract engineers. This packaging involves placing the produce in trays before it is finally bound or secured with shrink-wrap plastic.
The newly- introduced 296P Continuum was created primarily for water bottling companies. It is believed that this would mean a more efficient and speedier bottling and packaging process. This system can result to an even bigger number of trays packed with approximately seventy trays in a minute. This is even better compared with the previous model, the 296l Continuum. This model also works with multipacks which are not braced with any support even if it uses clear or printed films as commonly used in water bottles. The machine is installed with minimum disruption to the factory and the contract engineers are also responsible for the proactive and reactive maintenance of the machine, suited to work around the needs of the customer.
Standard-Knapp has manufactured other packaging innovations which can be opted for to address the specific concerns of the manufacturing companies. The 296P Continuum is just the tip of the of these latest developed technology of the US based company.
