Experience TSCA 160 at ECS trade fair 2023

Poly-clip System at EUROPEAN COATINGS SHOW 2023: TSCA 160 sealing/clipping machine with the patented DUO printer technology for sustainable cost reduction

One of the highlights from Poly-clip System at EUROPEAN COATINGS SHOW 2023 was the TSCA 160 sealing/clipping machine with the innovative DUO printer technology. Not only does the new clipping system solution allow flexible two-colour product labelling, it also offers cost advantages compared to a conventional packaging line.

The TSCA 160 sealing/clipping machine processes roll-fed flat film into securely clipped, ready-to-fill tubular bags - the so-called clip-pak®. It can save over 90% packaging material compared to single-use cartridges and reduces packaging costs by about 30%. The sustainable and innovative clip-pak® packaging solution ensures a long shelf life and has been proven to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases.

At EUROPEAN COATINGS SHOW 2023, with the DUO printer technology in the TSCA 160, Poly-clip System presented an innovation that allows position-controlled, two-colour printing of, for example, hazardous goods symbols. This results in one single print per portion in a defined print window. Automatic control of the printing position is implemented in the machine control system.

The technology eliminates the need for flat films preprinted with product-specific information or subsequent labelling. This enables film standardisation and reduces storage costs. An investment in a label printer and running costs incurred by labels can also be avoided. Uneven beads of sealant due to labels also become a thing of the past.

Thanks to the many advantages of the TSCA 160 with integrated DUO printer, packaging costs can be sustainably reduced. Compared with the costs for a packaging line with labelling system, the new packaging solution pays for itself in less than two years!
