Baumann Global Packaging has secured a contract for the supply of its high speed MKH-4 packaging equipment to an undisclosed ice cream manufacturer in Dubai.

The deal includes the design, manufacture, testing, packaging, installation supervision and commissioning of the packaging line with in feed systems for continuous packing of mono and multipack ice cream products.

The packaging system for the project will be assembled and tested at Baumann's facility in Sydney, Australia, with commissioning of the line scheduled in July 2013. The high speed cartoner will produce packs in the range of 180 PPM.

Baumann stated that the equipment helps in the reduction of manual labor and overall life cycle cost of times between maintenance while maintaining the productivity of the equipment and longer operating shifts.
