The Greek manufacturer offers a comprehensive range of automatic machinery including folding, bagging, stacking, sealing and barcoding machines, which are either modular or complete in design to cater to individual user needs. The Folding Machine (STP-1000) folds ready-made clothes quickly, silently and with precision, reports Adelco. “It requires just one operator and is designed to perfectly fold various types and sizes of clothes.” The maximum production capacity is said to be 700 pieces per hour. Users can attach the Folding Machine to the Bagging Machine (PV40) and Sealing Machine (KL55) and, without an additional operator, this combination of machines will fold, bag and seal the garments. Various other configurations can also be put together with the Folding Machine, such as the Stacking Machine (NT50), for stacked, folded clothes. This year, Thermotron launched a Barcoding Label Printing Machine that attaches labels to plastic bags, and can also be added to other machines in the range to achieve a seamless production line, explains Adelco. “This large combination of choices, as well as semi-automatic options, aims to offer the most cost-effective purchase for the print shop.” www.adelco.co.uk The Bagging Machine from Thermotron can be attached to the company’s Folding Machine I-Sub: RoqFold, RoqBag and RoqPack Roq has developed a complete line of equipment for folding and packing garments, says I-Sub. First up, the RoqFold is designed to be “easy-to-use, economical, safe and to improve the efficiency of your company”. It enables users to fold any kind and/or shape of garments, such as T-shirts (with or without sleeves), sweatshirts, long- or short-sleeve polos, trousers, skirts and dresses, and is said to be capable of a constant speed of 900 pieces per hour. The RoqFold can be coupled with either of Roq’s automatic packaging machines, the RoqBag and the RoqPack, explains the company, with “only one operator needed in the loading station to run the complete line”. The RoqBag automatically bags any garment using premade bags, and is said to have a maximum production speed of 500 pieces per hour. The RoqPack uses plastic rolls welded to defined dimensions, and is said to have a maximum speed of 1,200 pieces per hour. “All the modules are designed to work in an integrated manner with the least amount of manpower, but not making any compromises with the quality of the work,” adds I-Sub. www.i-sub.co.uk
