A team of local contract engineers are about to install a carton-wrapping machine for a large frozen food producer from a Suffolk end-of-line equipment manufacturer to increase the speed it can process packs for distribution.
The Matrix side-feed collating and wrapping machine, which is due to leave the OEM’s firm's Beccles plant next week, could process around 50% more packs than similar machinery in the same time.

Linkx began building its own machinery around 12 months ago and moved into new premises at the end of May and has made machines for a number of firms including Unilever and Birds Eye. The team of local contract engineers that are brought in carry a total of over 20 years experience and have years of experience in mechanical handling equipment and the such like.
The mechanical contract engineers will also be on hand to oversee any pro active or re active maintenance for the newly installed carton- wrapper.
Hayward said that despite the current economic climate the business was going from strength to strength.
'We've got lots of experience in this type of machinery. Some projects have been delayed, but are still happening,' he said.
Linkx Systems will be exhibiting at next month's PPMA Show on stand C40 at the NEC in Birmingham.
