| Carbon Neutral NatureFlex Film Supports Development of Anaerobic Digestion, 02/25/2010 06:00 PM |

| New Semi-Automatic Leak Tester for Blister Packs – LF BLI, 01/28/2010 06:00 PM |

The compact LF-BLI machine is ideal for sample testing between the existing Blister Line and Cartoner Packing line. The blister packs are manually inserted on a test base, which may take up a number of blister packs depending on the size. A sensitive membrane is then ...
