VISIT US AT GULFOOD MANUFACTURING EXHIBITION 2018
Al Thika Packaging LLC will once again be exhibiting at the Gulfood Manufacturing show in Dubai, November 6th to November 8th and once more we will have a very large stand, measuring 232 square metres. Our stand number is A1-24, Hall 1.
Complete packaging solutions for food and beverage industries
We will be displaying much of the equipment on the stand within integrated packing lines, to give potential customers a clear idea of how the many products we offer can be combined effectively.
LINE 1
Solutions for Meat & Poultry:
Modified Atmosphere Packaging is very much on everyone’s minds in the region and we will have on display from ULMA, both a flow wrapper and tray sealer set up for gas flushing, as well as a vertical bagger. Safeline metal detectors and X Rays complement these machines and offer superb sensitivity for meat products. We also have a checkweigher from Garvens and data loggers from Tinytag. New from Espera is their ES5000 weigh price labeller. A range of coding and marking solutions from Markem Imaje completes the picture.
LINE 2
Solutions for Dairy:
Excellent protection from water ingress is critical in the industry. All Mettler Toledo products – metal detectors, checkweighers, X Rays – are available prepared to meet IP65, even IP69 specifications, whilst stainless steel shrink wrappers and stretch wrappers are available from Robopac and Smipack. The Inox Truck range of stainless steel scissor lifts, load elevators and pallet trucks are all designed specifically for use in wet environments, as are a number of the Markem Imaje printers and label applicators.
LINE 3
Solutions for Bakery:
Niverplast has decades of experience handling tens of thousands of products per hour from high speed oven lines and automatically loading rolls, buns, loaves etc. into automatically erected cartons, with or without plastic liners. Their Combiplast system will be operating on the stand. Safeline Profile Advantage metal detectors were specifically designed to achieve maximum sensitivity with moist products such as warm bread, whilst their X Rays are used throughout the bakery industry in the Gulf. Markem Imaje coding and marking solutions ensure consumer protection.

Cablevey’s unique cable driven conveyors move product hygienically and without damage throughout factories, whilst X Rays from Mettler Toledo are used to inspect products within tins and inside laminate packs.
