Banbridge conveyor firm to exhibit at NEC process and packaging show

Banbridge conveyor firm ENE Ltd are exhibiting for the first time at the PPMA Show in Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre September 27th - 29th.

On show will be the new multi-lane 'Converger'‚ machine, designed and built by the NI firm and tailored for high volume food processing factories. The machine incorporates modular belt conveyors and sliding slat conveyor to facilitate fast and efficient product sorting.

A typical production line would see the Converger following a tray sealing machine and through PLC control, converging up to six lanes of product into a single lane for further processing, at rates as fast as 180 packs per minute.

The PPMA show is visited annually by up to 20,000 buyers, engineers and managers from the UK and Europe and is widely regarded a valuable showcase for companies involved in the process and packaging machinery world.

ENE Ltd believe that their presence there will not only enhance an already healthy order book, but will contribute to Northern Ireland's reputation for engineering expertise.
