Paxton Products, an ITW Company, makes air rinsing, knife dryers, and blow-off cleaning systems. This week at PACK EXPO Connects the company is making two new product announcements related to cleaning and drying.
First, the Ionized Air Rinser Vac addresses the need to remove dust or debris out of upright cups typically used for dairy products or snack trays. After empty cups or trays are placed upright into continuous conveyor recesses, it is critical to remove any foreign particulates prior to filling. However, these applications are not conducive to inverting the cups, as is typical for bottles and cans.
According to company officials, development of the Ionized Air Rinser Vac began a year and a half ago, combining the dust and debris removal of the company’s Ionized Air Rinser with a powerful vacuum to remove, collect, and contain particles from inside or outside of container walls while preventing re-deposition of dust. All of this is done without making significant changes to existing fill/packaging layout or processes.
