From a Fully Operational Packaging Line to Packaging Machine Demonstrations, Matrix is a Must-See Attraction at PACK EXPO 2021
Aug 18, 2021SAUKVILLE, Wis., August 18, 2021 – Matrix is packing quite a bit of activity this year in booth C-2829 at PACK EXPO 2021 – including a live demonstration of a fully integrated mini-packaging line with other ProMach brands. It is really going to be something to see!
Highlighting the integrated packaging line is a Matrix Morpheus Vertical Form Fill Seal Machine that will be filling pillow bags of mints. The line co-stars a Matrix EC-E Checkweigher that will perform a final weight check of the bags. This integrated line demonstrates the ease of how ProMach brands collaborate to effectively bring packaging projects of all sizes to fruition.
In addition to the integrated packaging line, Matrix is showcasing several other packaging solutions.

The Bag-in-Bagvertical form fill seal machine is designed for filling and packaging product into a pillow bag then dropping one or more products in a master bag. Featuring quick changeovers and setups, the Bag-in-Bag machine can produce up to 100 bags per minute. The machine can also fill pillow bags and bypass the lower section of the machine when a master bag is not necessary for specific production runs. Matrix has paired the bag-in-bag with a Spee-Dee cup filler and will be packaging candy.

It can accommodate bag widths between 2.5” and 11”, and bag lengths between 3” and 15”. The Mercury is a great cost-effective packaging solution as it features a small footprint, stainless-steel frame, automatic film tracking, a registered film sensor and more.
