Enmin are currently working with Tixana to integrate another of Enmin’s new Generate + modular seasoning systems. This will incorporate an innovative electrostatic system to coat snacks thereby increasing efficiencies.

Tixana’s special operations manager, Angus McKellar oversees Tixana’s production line facility and together with the production team is introducing additional automation.

“It was evident that the production lines required further upgrading, to allow for greater efficiencies and to minimise WH&S risks.

“We already had an Enmin vibratory feeder which was still operating after many years, so naturally they were the first company I called to discuss our requirements,” said McKellar.

At their initial meeting, Anthony recommended an Enmin spiral elevator which would lift and cool hot snacks simultaneously.

The implementation was so successful that Tixana purchased three more.

“At Tixana we like to support local industry – the fact that Enmin is a local business who design and manufacture their equipment right here in Australia is an important benefit. They’re able to see first-hand our existing production line set-up and use their extensive experience and design skills to provide solutions. They can also ensure their equipment will integrate seamlessly with other components already in place.

“Enmin are only a quick phone call away to immediately respond to any query we may have or provide service support. Whilst lower cost equipment from overseas may initially seem an attractive proposition, we believe in supporting local industries,” said McKellar.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
