Fife reports global success for 500 guiding system

Web handling specialist Maxcess has announced the 500th installation of the FIFE-500 web guiding system in the nine months following the product’s release. The units have been sold to converters in North and South America, Asia and Europe.

Central to the success of the FIFE-500 has been the color touch screen display, which is easy to learn and operate, says the manufacturer. FIFE-500 leverages new technology to support 14 languages and intuitive icon-based operation.

‘The FIFE-500 represents an exciting time for Fife - where our increased investment in new technology has started to have an effect in the market,’ said Darren Irons, global product manager for Fife. ‘Our customer base in nonwoven, tag and label, and pouch/bagging machines are benefiting from our new technology and industry leading performance.

‘The FIFE-500 represents only one of many new products released by Maxcess last year. We plan to continue innovating and providing more new products to the market in 2013.’

Maxcess brings together the MAGPOWR, Fife and Tidland brands.
