At PACK EXPO, Heat and Control is displaying new capabilities for its compact, all-in-one Ishida ACP Series case packer for bagged snack foods. The fully automatic system features case packing, case alignment, bag packing, sorting, closing, and sealing in one machine at speeds up to 150 packages [10 cases]/min.

A key capability for the system is its ability to run tape cases and push lock/slide lock cases in the same machine, even accommodating a combination of the two styles of top and bottom closures.
