Linkx links up with PACTUR & SIAT

Linkx Systems, one of the UK’s fastest growing and most innovative suppliers of automated packaging equipment, has signed distribution and support agreements with two leading Italian machine manufacturers – SIAT and PACTUR.

Linkx is selling and supporting machines from the Italian companies alongside its own products, which are designed and built at the company’s new factory in Suffolk.

‘While we have the expertise and facilities to design and manufacture almost any type of machine in house,’ said David Hayward, Managing Director of Linkx Systems. ‘ There are occasions when a high-quality off-the-shelf machine is the best way of meeting our customers’ requirements. In these situations we can now offer machines from SIAT and PACTUR, two companies that have impeccable reputations for producing machines that combine quality and performance with durability and reliability.’

From SIAT, Linkx is offering automatic case erectors, with particular emphasis on machines in the new F344 range, which use electric drives on all axes to maximise versatility and throughput. Machines in the F344 range achieve throughputs of up to 18 boxes per minute, and are supplied as standard with integral storage for 150 boxes. They are easily adjusted to accommodate different box sizes, and incorporate touch-screen operator control panels with comprehensive diagnostic facilities.
