A new Website from packaging machinery manufacturer A + F Automation USA at www.afautomationusa.com showcases the company's portfolio of end-of-line packaging solutions. Featuring in-action videos, animated system installations and technical literature, the new A + F Automation USA Website provides in-depth information about the company's automated machines and integrated packing systems for case packing, sleeving, tray erecting and palletizing, as well as for accumulating and conveying products for packaging. The new Web site also describes the origin of A + F Automation in 1974 as a pioneer of robotics for automating the end-of-line packaging process and traces its history through former corporate partners such as IWK Group and Oystar Group. Today, the company operates as the North American division of A+F Automation + Fördertechnik GmbH, Kirchlengern, Germany.

Developed for packaging engineers, process engineers and material handling managers in the food, dairy, beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and other industries, the new afautomation.com showcases the SetLINE, a high-speed multi-pack sleever and case packer in one system, and the CompactLine, a new case packer for cartons and bricks combining grouping, blank erection, case loading and closing in one system. A wide range of other standard and custom-engineered systems are shown, both robotic and mechanical. Additionally, the Website details the company's intensive support services such as operator training, spare parts delivery, and upgrading and retrofitting outdated and underperforming machines.
