20/11/2009 11:02:31

Today, as consumers we all have a high demand for well packaged foods.  Foremost, packaging must maintain the freshness of the product whilst being aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Many consumer items are packaged in flexible laminated films, from yogurt lids to crisps packets. Getting these laminated films to stick together can be challenging process but Mahr Metering Systems can help!

Mahr Metering Systems have developed highly precise two, three or more component adhesive mixing and dosing machines. At the heart of each machine is Mahr's 60 years experience in ‘measuring accuracy'.

Edgar Hochwart head of Sales and Marketing for Mahr Metering Systems explains ‘to know you can give precision you must firstly be able to measure precision. In food packaging it is important that all components are dispensed and mixed in the right proportions, not only for the producer's yields but to make the finish product look right'.

Eddy continues ‘to be experts in dosing materials we have to be experts in the materials themselves. At Mahr we have to understand the physical properties of adhesives, their viscosities, their setting times, their operating temperatures and sometimes their harmful nature to both man and machine. It is important the machine is user friendly but more importantly it must be safe'.

Mahr Metering Systems are represented by Rakem Ltd in the UK and Ireland. For more information or a discussion on what you need for your adhesion dispenser contact Kevin Rafferty 0161 762 0044 or Kevin@rakem.co.uk
