Line Assessments can last up to half a day and provide you with an opportunity to discuss any issues you may have with your VFFS machines. A more thorough consultancy service provides an in-depth line evaluation with a full day at your site by one of our engineers. This paid for line evaluation option provides in-depth analysis of your machine production levels and an understanding of any specific problems you might be having with your machines. We will provide recommendations as to how you may be able to improve performance and overcome the problems you are experiencing.

The Line Assessment and Line Evaluation services enables a Kenray engineer to use a tried and tested ‘traffic light’ system, the criteria for damaged or nearly damaged forming sets. By doing so, we can help you to easily detect any forthcoming issues in your production line, eliminating downtime and costs to your business.

This on-going assessment and evaluation of your vffs packaging line can extend the life of your forming sets and provide a cost and time effective alternative to new purchases. Equally if an on-site appraisal demonstrates a need for replacements, it can be factored into real-time and supplied before an emergency situation occurs.
