Fibre King has expanded its range of craft brewery packaging equipment with a PakTech Can Carrier Applicator and is the only Australian owned option available on the market.

“We are thrilled with its early success,” says James Windsor, CEO.

“We now have a complete end of line solution for craft breweries with a can carrier applicator, Little Packer case packer and our CMP Compact Modular Palletiser.

“We saw a gap in the market and we developed affordable, craft-sized solutions to cater for low-medium volumes.”

Features of the Fibre King can carrier applicator:

• Stainless steel frame and components

• Ultra-compact design

• 4 & 6 pack configurations

• Can apply PakTech and Biopak can holders

• 375ml to 500ml can heights

• Up to 8000 cans per hour (matching 5 cases/min of Little Packer Case Packer)

Food & Drink Business

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem. 

Victorian-based Aquafab has completed a $620,000 Series A raise through Birchal, supported by over 300 investors. The company told Food & Drink Business that the funds will support continued national growth and plans in place to enter the US and UK markets this year.

Rumin8 is accelerating its methane reducing feed additive commercialisation progress in New Zealand, garnering $4.4 million (US$3 million) in investment as the company prepares to enter the final trial process.
