Kwik Lok is introducing its new 865B at the International Floral and Produce Association (IFPA) show in Orlando, Fla., Oct. 27-29, 2022.  Customers can see the new machine in action at Kwik Lok’s booth, 861, according to a news release. 

The new machine reliably bags just about anything, according to the release. It features a more powerful motor than previous versions, additional safety features and an updated control system. The 865A has served the produce industry for decades and is known for its durability and reliability, according to the release. 

“When Kwik Lok asked if we would test their new 865B closing machine, we were happy to help.  Once again, Kwik Lok has created an unparalleled closing system that can stand up to the tough environment in our sheds," said Kip Yeats, vice president of fresh operations at Wada Farms Potatoes in the release. 

In addition to the new 865B, Kwik Lok will continue to share its global portfolio of sustainable options including Eco-Lok, a closure that uses less plastic and the Kwik Link machine which eliminates unnecessary packaging while preserving the opportunity for branding, promotions, dating and tracking, the release continued. 

“We remain focused on delivering solutions that are not only innovative but also centered on sustainability. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all closure that meets the varying sustainability needs of our international customers,” said Don Carrell, CEO of Kwik Lok in the release. “Our team will be available at IFPA to demonstrate our latest innovations and to help guide our current and potential customers in selecting the sustainable technology that best meets their business needs and market requirements," Carrell continued.
