Birmingham PPMA (
Processing and Packaging Machinery Association) Show is the exhibition dedicated to packaging and labelling machines that takes place every year in Birmingham (UK) and brings together all the manufacturers of the most advanced technologies in this sector, from production lines to robots.
The fair has always been focused on the food and pharmaceutical packaging sectors.Automation has become a fundamental element for the food and beverage market and the pharmaceutical sector from the first period of restrictions caused by the pandemic and until today, where the production dynamics of some companies remain influenced by the new habits introduced to limit the problems caused by Covid19.
Servo motors designed for automation, high-performance motors, drives and special solutions to ensure high standards of hygiene are the main areas of interest at PPMA Birmingham.UK-based Lafert Electric Motors will showcase all our packaging solutions. In particular, HP Combi, the package that combines the very high IE5 efficiency of our permanent magnet synchronous motors with our variable frequency drive (VFD) achieving the highest energy efficiency standards. Another novelty that can be explored live at the fair is Smartris: a solution for AGVs able to offer maximum precision and reliability thanks to the integration between motor, gear and drive in an integrated package.
"We are at Lafert's fourteenth participation in the PPMA in Birmingham and it is always exciting to meet customers and partners. In recent years we have developed some new technologies and integrated packages dedicated to the packaging sector: systems able to achieve high performance in more compact dimensions thanks to the integration between motor and drive. We will meet designers and manufacturers at PPMA looking for new solutions and growth opportunities." – Brian Bannister, Managing Director Lafert Electric Motors - UK.
The most important news will be:
• Ultra Compact, the range of brushless servomotors that offers an increase in torque density of up to 30% for the same motor size and reduced dimensions up to 20%. • Smartris, the new integrated solution complete with gear, servo motor and drive for AGV systems. • HP Combi, a special package that combines the permanent magnet synchronous motor and variable frequency drive. On display the complete Lafert product portfolio: standard and special asynchronous motors, brushless servomotors, permanent magnet synchronous motors.
