Fibre King, a leader in packaging machinery solutions across multiple industries, has developed the latest addition to its beverage equipment range, the Multipacker – a compact and versatile can and bottle cluster packer.

Tailored specifically for low volume beverage manufacturers, the Multipacker addresses critical end-of-line packaging needs, and underscores Fibre King's commitment to advancing packaging technology and delivering industry-leading solutions for manufacturers of all sizes.

Designed to handle a wide range of cans and bottles, the Multipacker provides an automated, efficient and environmentally-friendly solution, transforming single-file cans and bottles into neatly organised clusters with wrap-around sleeves.

The Multipacker is said to streamline the packaging process, enhances productivity and reduces manual labour. Its compact inline layout is focused on space efficiency, which makes it an excellent choice for facilities with limited space, as it can be easily configured to suit specific handling and height requirements.

Its flexibility ensures seamless integration into existing production lines, minimising disruption and maximising efficiency.

Fibre King has manufactured the Multipacker with a clean design ethos, featuring robust stainless-steel construction, which not only ensures durability and longevity, but also aligns with stringent hygiene standards. The carefully considered drainage system enhances cleanliness, making the machine easy to maintain and reducing the risk of contamination.

This focus on cleanliness and durability is particularly crucial for industries such as food and beverage, where maintaining high hygiene standards is paramount.

The Multipacker accommodates various product sizes, including 330-500ml classic cans, 250-355ml sleek cans, 200-300ml slim cans, and 330-375ml bottles. It is designed to handle 4-packs, at up to 100 cans or bottles per minute, translating to 25 packs per minute. For 6-packs, it handles up to 150 cans or bottles per minute, maintaining a pace of 25 packs per minute.

This flexibility in speed ensures that the Multipacker can adapt to the production needs of different beverage manufacturers, offering both high efficiency and reliability.

In today's world, sustainability is more important than ever. The Fibre King Multipacker addresses this by moving away from plastic packaging in favour of eco-friendly cardboard sleeves.

This sustainable solution not only reduces environmental impact, but also offers endless branding opportunities. Businesses can customise the cardboard sleeves to enhance brand visibility and appeal, creating a unique and memorable product presentation.

Finally, safety and reliability are at the core of the Fibre King Multipacker's design, and every aspect of the machine is engineered to ensure safe operation and consistent performance. This commitment to safety and reliability provides peace of mind to businesses, knowing that their packaging process is in good hands.

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.
