WATCH: Jet Technologies showcases compact cup filler

Jet Technologies has brought the compact Ilpra Fill Seal 5000 cup filling and sealing system to AUSPACK 2019 and is hosting live demonstrations on stand D100. 

Despite its small footprint, the Ilpra system can fill up to 5000 pieces per hour and is designed for juices, dips, yoghurt, pestos, soups, sauces and honey, and comes with lots of optional add-ons.

PKN Packaging News editor Lindy Hughson spoke to Jet Technologies general manager Daniel Malki on the stand about the technology, and some of the other innovations on show in the coffee, dips and dairy, ready meals and wine and spirits categories. Watch Ilpra 5000 in action in this video.

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
