Smipack is consistently pushing the packaging industry ahead with new designs and technology to better meet consumer demand. It’s no surprise, then, that the announcement of the latest BP TRAY + FILM models from Smipack is quite exciting for the industry as a whole.
As the UK’s number one supplier of shrink wrapping machine, packaging systems and films, our team at Adpak is proud to introduce the BP802ARV280R-T with 90° infeed and the BP802ALV 600R-T with inline infeed. Both of these new models promise to deliver new levels of sustainability without compromising on quality throughput. In this article, we’ll take a close look at the new BP TRAY + FILM models announced by Smipack, covering key features, benefits and more.
Meeting the Demands of Modern Packaging
Across a wealth of sectors, the demand for packaging solutions that are lightweight, durable, and environmentally responsible has never been higher. Consumers, regulators, and businesses alike are calling for reduced waste and improved recyclability without compromising on protection or efficiency.
The new BP TRAY + FILM models from Smipack answer this challenge with technological prowess. By integrating an innovative cardboard tray applicator module, they provide versatile and compact packaging machinery that enhances stability, reduces material use, and improves recyclability, all while maintaining the high production standards for which the BP Series is renowned.
Innovative Design with Sustainability at the Core
At the heart of these new packaging systems from Smipack lies a smart tray applicator system that applies a pre-folded cardboard sheet onto a chain belt. This sheet is then folded and glued into a sturdy tray with raised sides before the product is film-wrapped.
This new system delivers several standout benefits that place a strong focus on sustainability:
- Stability and Protection: Cardboard trays provide a strong base that reduces product damage during transit, improving overall supply chain reliability.
- Reduced Footprint: A single compact system capable of producing tray + film, pad + film, and film-only packs optimises layout efficiency and saves valuable floor space.
- Recyclability: Cardboard trays support easier recycling and reuse, helping businesses align with circular economy principles.
- Visual Appeal: The final package benefits from a cleaner, more professional presentation, adding value at the point of sale.
By combining flexibility with eco-conscious design, these models support businesses looking to make measurable progress toward sustainability targets without compromising performance.
Technical Excellence to Drive Productivity
While sustainability is a clear advantage, the BP802ARV 280R-T and BP802ALV 600R-T go further by incorporating advanced technical features that optimise efficiency and reliability. Some standout features for these new models include:
- Tray Insertion Device: A pneumatic suction cup system ensures precise cardboard pickup, with a tray magazine capacity of up to 300 units. Flexible tray dimensions (200 x 145 mm minimum to 600 x 350 mm maximum) cater to a wide variety of product formats.
- Transport and Control System: A motorised, self-centring tray insertion mechanism that is driven by an inverter and encoder synchronises electronically with product arrival. The result is a smooth, continuous flow and high production efficiency.
- Versatility: Businesses can choose between film-only or tray + film modes, switching easily depending on product requirements. This extra versatility helps keep companies agile, flexible and better equipped to meet consumer demand.
- Compliance: Manufactured in line with CE regulations and Industry 4.0 standards, these models guarantee high levels of safety, connectivity, and performance.
Together, these features enable manufacturers to streamline operations, boost output, and maintain consistency while reducing downtime and material waste. This level of innovation could not have come at a better time, with a huge push across industries to champion sustainability.
Why Sustainability and Efficiency Go Hand in Hand
For many industries, sustainability has become a competitive differentiator and a way to run as efficiently as possible. Customers expect businesses to take meaningful steps toward reducing their environmental footprint. At the same time, manufacturers can’t afford to compromise on efficiency.
The latest BP TRAY + FILM models from Smipack offer a practical solution where sustainability and productivity reinforce each other. By reducing packaging waste, enabling recyclability, and minimising space requirements, these systems deliver cost savings alongside environmental benefits. This dual value is what makes them such a powerful innovation for today’s businesses.
