Kliklok top load cartoning equipment for tea expands in the Middle East

Kliklok International will showcase its top load cartoning equipment in partnership with KayDee Solutions at Gulfood Manufacturing 2015 in Dubai this month (October 27 –29).

The company will demonstrate its ECT500 glue form carton erector and C1F carton closer, with single flap, tuck-in cartons – a style favoured by tea producers.

AMS Baeshen & Co, Saudi Arabia

Live demonstrations will be carried out using cartons used by AMS Baeshen & Co – famous for its flagship ‘Rabea Tea’ brand.

The company, based in Saudi Arabia, uses Kliklok’s top load cartoning equipment at its manufacturing facility in Jeddah to pack speciality teas, available in over 14 markets regionally and worldwide.

It was great to be a part of the first Gulfood Manufacturing event last year, and we look forward to returning to this year’s event with KayDee Solutions as we expand our presence in the Middle East,” said Neil Fowell, MD, Kliklok International. 

The event is important for the global manufacturing scene and more specifically the manufacturing industries across the Middle East.

It’s a great opportunity to showcase our top load cartoning solutions and meet both existing and new customers at the show.”

Four-corner styles to unusual shaped packages

The ECT500 can handle a variety of carton tray designs from four-corner styles to unusual shaped packages.

It uses a four-station rotary turret to provide carton feeding, glue application, carton forming and finished carton ‘strip off’.

It glues the application with either a nozzle jet system or open pot ‘dauber’, depending on the customer’s preference.

Kliklok will also showcase the ECT500 integrated with its C1F closer – a medium to high speed automatic closer for hinge cover single flap cartons, where the cover tuck flap is inserted inside the front wall of the carton.
