The new RF-Box Feeder from Rotech enables the fast, efficient feeding of secondary packaging such as flat boxes and cartons into and out of labelling and coding systems. The box feeder complements Rotech's range of offline marking systems for primary packaging, making the company the only handling specialist in the UK to provide offline marking solutions spanning the entire packaging line. The offline, stack-to-stack RFBox Feeder enables users to pre-mark flat cases prior to erection and filling. Rates vary depending on the box length and chosen marking technology, but typically range from 50 to 150 boxes per minute. The ability to mark-up secondary packaging offline meets a growing need in today's grocery market, where the emerging retail channels of discount, convenience and online will account for all the growth over the next 10 years as conventional supermarkets decline. For many food operators, this shift is driving a rapid rise in the complexity of their logistics operations as demand grows for mixed cases and little-and-often deliveries to a wider range of locations.
