Standard-Knapp News

Standard-Knapp has wrapped up our 2012-2013 United Way fundraising campaign, and is proud to announce a record breaking year!

Employee participation reached a very strong 94.6%. The number of contributions surpassed previous years’ totals going back to 2001, when we had over double the employees (56 vs. 133.) A record twenty-nine employees donated $100 or more. The company matched all money collected, dollar for dollar, bringing the grand total to $20,341.36!

The 598 Tritium™ Shrink Wrapper is equipped with a 2-axis servo-driven wrapping module which is easily programmed to follow the contour of all incoming trays of product. This Robo-Wand™ wrapping module requires no physical change parts or adjustments and can run at high rates of speed. The Tritium™ Shrink Wrapper also features a precise servo-driven film cutting system which accurately cuts the required length of film efficiently and reliably. The servo-driven film cutting system can handle both clear and registered film, printed with marketing graphics and detailed product information.

Standard-Knapp, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of innovative packaging machinery, has announced its innovative Pic-N-Place module that picks the product from the infeed conveyor and gently places it into the bottom of the empty case. This module can be easily retrofitted onto existing 939S and 949S Versatron™ case packers.

While the PakMore’s gripper heads pick up bottles and safely lower them into the cases, the Uncaser’s gripper heads revolve around a center carousel to quickly and gently lift the empty glass bottles from the cases. Designed to maximize efficiency while also minimizing bottle damage, the Uncaser gently places the bottles on the conveyer as they leave the machine.

We’ve recently wrapped up our annual fundraising campaign benefitting Middlesex United Way! With strong 94% employee participation, and the company matching each pledge dollar for dollar, Standard-Knapp was able to donate $21,164.80 to this worthy cause.
