Other products featured will include a number of bottle and bag handling conveyors designed and manufactured by RM Group, plus the FPK 42 form, fill and seal machine for block bottomed - quad sealed packs under 1kg. This versatile packaging machine lends itself to many products in the food and pharmaceutical industry.
