Hello, I'm Dennis Calamusa with AlliedFlex Technologies, and we're here today at the PACK EXPO in Las Vegas, and we're introducing our new Nexes premade bag maker. This machine is manufactured in Barcelona, Spain, and AlliedFlex has now signed an agreement with Nexes for North America including Canada and Mexico. We're seeing a major trend happening in the market toward pre-made pouches, and it's a way of simplifying the packaging operation, and the cost of premade packaging is going down, and as a result of that, many operating companies are interested in the efficiency that pre-made pouches can bring to their customer base.
This machine is quite unique because it's an electronically controlled machine using servo technology, so changeover is rapid and quick, and also washdown execution is available, so this machine can be totally washed down, which is perfect for a washdown environment like frozen food, poultry meat, and processed foods. So, we can do very quick changeovers, and you can see the machine is very accessible, so it's an open architecture of design, and it's using the latest technology for changeover for bag handling and pouch, premade pouch feeding.
So, you'll also notice the machine has a relatively compact footprint, so this machine can easily go underneath an existing stackup where a customer may already have a scale or the infrastructure above to feed this machine. So you can easily plug it underneath and very popular now for snacks, powdered foods, frozen foods, and a multitude of different products.
So if you'd like more information on this machine, please visit our website alliedflex.com, and there's lots of comprehensive information on our website including multiple videos of this machine running. This machine can run in a simplex, a duplex, and a large bag format. So you can go handle bags up to 5 kg. Popular for pet food and some other types of products like that. So thank you very much.
