OYSTAR Jones presents the new Meridian® XR Multi-Packer for the beverage industry

Fast and Flexible - With the new Meridian® XR from the OYSTAR Jones Multi-Packer series, a new milestone has been reached in terms of speed, productivity, and versatility. The machine is designed to handle a wide range of products of different formats, all of which can be packed in all conceivable ways. To demonstrate this at drinktec, the machine will be used to process cartons that take 4, 6, and 12 bottles.

The Meridian® XR offers high output rates for beverages in both cans and bottles. The standard machine – made completely from stainless steel – can be adapted to handle formats ranging from 0.2l to 0.75l cans and bottles without using any tools.

Dual pitch technology allows the Meridian® XR Multi-Packer to process up to 300 cartons per minute while maintaining a very low line speed. This halves material requirements and enables better controls throughout the packaging and sealing process.

The electronic and mechanical components of the Meridian® XR are durable and require minimal maintenance so the associated costs are low. Products can be changed in under half an hour with a few manual adjustments. At just 8.4m in length, the compact frame fits on small surfaces. Installation times and costs are minimal because the machine is delivered as a complete unit.

Ergonomically designed controls make the equipment highly user-friendly. Standard Meridian® XR machines are equipped with directly coupled servo drives and belt drives that enable transport levels to be changed automatically while size adjustments are taking place and the rotating three-head carton feed to grip and release cartons gently. All Meridian® XR machines come with a one-year warranty that provides 24/7 service cover.
