Packaging Machinery: Basics and Beyond

The next presentation of Packaging Machinery: Basics and Beyond will be presented September 20-22 (M-W), 2010 at The Frain Group outside Chicago. 

This short course, sponsored by the Institute of Packaging Professionals and presented by John R Henry CPP, teaches attendees about all the different types of packaging machinery currently in use, theory of operation and interaction with materials. Machines covered include vertical and horizontal FFS and wrappers, liquid and solid fillers, capping and closing systems, labeling machinery, inspection systems, conveyors and more. The last day is dedicated to the design of an automated packaging line. Instruction is via a mix of classroom as well as hands on with actual static and operating machinery.
