Health Innovations Supplement Their Machinery

We are delighted to share our latest installation success following the commissioning of a shrink wrapping line into Health Innovation’s Skipton-based manufacturing facility.

Health Innovations UK Ltd are an industry-leading healthcare manufacturer and producer of nutritional supplements and vitamins. Their product range comprises of chewable, hard, coated and uncoated tablets, as well as gel capsules and melts in tubs and cartons. Health Innovations tailor-make and formulate products for many suppliers in the pharmaceutical industry and indeed supply some national supermarkets as well as independent chemists.

As a result of considerable and ongoing growth in recent years, culminating in a new GMP facility due to be finished at the end of 2019, Health Innovations looked in Q1 this year to increase their packaging capacity. Although the company already own a sleeve wrapping solution from us, it was only suitable for wrapping products in trays. With more and more of Health Innovation’s customers looking to reduce overall packaging by removing excess cardboard trays from their goods, any new equipment needed to be able to wrap both trayed and trayless formations. Health Innovations returned to YPS to deliver an upgraded machine that offered the complete flexibility they needed.

Installed in March 2019, the new fully automatic side feed sleeve wrapper and shrink tunnel we supplied met all of Health Innovation’s requirements and has been running smoothly now for six months. Specially modified to include full collation hardware, the new line accommodates both trayed and trayless packs at speed in multiples of 2×3, 2×4 and 2×5.

As a result of Healthcare Innovation’s new packaging investment, they have benefitted from increased flexibility, improved capacity and enhanced customer satisfaction due to the ability to meet all demands. Several new contracts have been won since the addition. Furthermore, we included a comprehensive service contract with the new wrapping line that was extended to cover the existing equipment, for complete peace of mind and full preventative maintenance.

Glyn Johnson, YPS M.D. commented:

Health Innovations have been a much-valued customer of ours for many years – I’m happy that we could play a part in their ongoing success once again by delivering a best-in-class product with best-in-class service and ultimately a best-in-class solution.
