KartridgPak CH-70: Mid-Speed Chub Packaging

A mid-speed, servo-driven chub packaging machine designed for lower volume production environments

Here to meet market needs

With over 70 years of expertise with chub packaging equipment and over 1,000 machines shipped globally since the 1950s, R.A Jones has a proven track record of delivering durable, high-performance solutions. The CH-70 is the latest addition to this portfolio, providing a valuable option for companies seeking to balance cost and automation.

The development of the CH-70 is a direct response to customer demand for a chub packaging machine that provides the right balance of speed and cost-efficiency. Many companies face increasing labor and employment challenges, making the shift from manual clipping to automation more essential than ever. The CH-70 offers a cost-effective solution for those looking to automate without the need for the high speeds of other food and non-food packaging machines.

Key Benefits

Medium Speed, high performance: capable of running up to 70 chubs per minute, the CH-70 is ideal for operations that don’t require the full speed of larger machines like the CH-150 or CH-160.
Versatile packaging options: the CH-70 can accommodate various package sizes and product types, including both slicks and 1lb chubs.
Direct drive servo: this feature ensures longevity and easy maintenance, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Quick changeover times: optimized for speed and flexibility, the CH-70 reduces downtime between product runs.
Optimate HMI: intuitive controls that simplify operation and enhance the user experience.

Flexible Supplier Choices

R.A Jones allows customers the freedom to choose their wire and film suppliers, helping to reduce the total cost of ownership. By using flat plastic film rather than natural casings, the CH-70 delivers up to 30% savings compared to traditional tray packaging. Additionally, the wire spool clips used by R.A Jones are up to four times less expensive than preformed clips, offering further savings on consumables.

The Right Choice for Lower-Volume Operations

The CH-70 is particularly well-suited for companies with lower volume production requirements, or those utilizing co-packers for smaller batches. With a small footprint and vertical compact design, the CH-70 provides a high level of efficiency while minimizing the space needed in production facilities. Whether you're producing food or industrial products, the CH-70 ensures your operations remain agile and cost-effective.
