 | Great interest for cost reduction by automation at CFS Technology Centre Show | | During the Interpack exhibition, held 24 – 30 April 2008 in Düsseldorf – Germany, CFS has run a special programme at their Technology Centre in Bakel - The Netherlands. Visitors experienced what a fully automatic robot loading / traysealing line can do for their business. They watched a complete production changeover in less than 10 minutes: from one product packed in a MAP pack to another product in skin pack. These products were loaded automatically into the trays by the CFS RobotLoader. This showed cost reduction by automation in optima forma. | | 29.04.2008 | |  |
