Pw 4195 Johnvince Foods Triangle Yamato C

Johnvince Foods, Toronto and Montreal, Canada, is a bulk foods supplier, specializing in nuts, dried fruits, candies, and snacks. Customers include major grocery store, department store, and convenience store accounts across Canada.

The company wanted to install a new packaging operation to handle out-of-shell and in-shell peanuts, trail mixes, dried fruits, and chocolate-coated items in two bag sizes. After careful deliberation, Johnvince decided that the optimum-performance, most cost-effective system for their specific needs was a Model B32C intermittent-motion, vertical form/fill/seal bagger from Triangle Package Machinery Co.  coupled with a Model ADW-514AHC combination weigher from Yamato. The automated bagger features easy-touch programmable changeovers and online troubleshooting via modem. 

In October 2009, Johnvince Foods installed the new bagger and weigher at its Boucherville facility in Montreal. Johnvince COO and chief of engineering Tom Copping says, “We didn’t need any assistance in starting up the new system. We have a great maintenance team that is familiar with the Triangle bagger and Yamato scale. For many years we have had a good relationship with Triangle, and we have several of their machines installed in our Toronto facility. Our experience with Triangle has been positive. The equipment is low-maintenance, and their service department is very responsive.”
