| Greetings!
We hope you enjoy this issue of our e-newsletter. It highlights two companies who experienced the benefit of Bosch's modular machine design when automating their packaging operations. The story of Jelly Belly and Gertrude Hawk illustrate how our Module++ capabilities can reduce your costs, increase your throughput, and add flexibility to your packaging operations.

Success Story | Module++ Automation Jelly Belly's automated packaging line cuts labor costs 75%
|
Jelly Belly's packaging line was featured in Packaging Digest's April issue. In addition to the article, an interactive web-based tour of the line was created that provides an up close view through videos, pictures, and an interview with Mike Bianco, VP of Global Operations for Jelly Belly.
The line, designed and installed by Bosch, is a good example of Bosch's Module++ concept. Module++ describes our competence to integrate standard, modular machines into an automated line with options specific to your application. The Jelly Belly line automates both primary and secondary packaging operations, but the Module++ concept can also be used to automate single machines as well. Regardless of the complexity of the packaging line Bosch's Module++ expertise makes the automation process easy for you, with short delivery times, lower costs, and a flexible solution that allows you to adjust to changing market conditions.  Interactive packaging line features two SVE 2510 VFFS baggers, a Paloma delta robot, a Cobra carton former, and a 840e carton closer.

New Technology | Doboy B-550 Band Sealer Quality, Performance, Value
|
 Our new B-550 band sealer is our first mid-range sealer to feature the same drive motor as our larger band sealers. This powerful and reliable motor features variable frequency control with a standard speed range of 300 to 1200 inches per minute. The B-550s heat bar length has also been increased to 7.5 inches allowing it to seal a wider range of bag materials at higher speeds. For more details on the B-550 visit our website, or click here to download the brochure.

Event | 2010 Bosch Road Show Thank you for attending!
|

Thanks to all of you who stopped by and made our 2010 Road Show so successful. We had great conversations with many of you about your packaging needs and hopefully everyone found it as beneficial as one of our attendees:
"I have already raved about this event to 5 people
without prompting. This far exceeded my expectations. This was very well
organized, appropriate, relevant, and I greatly appreciated the
opportunity."
If you missed the roadshow, we hope to see you at one of our remaining trade shows this year, Expo Pack in Mexico City and Pack Expo in Chicago.
